Knitting clothing and woven clothing sewing process is very different, among them the biggest difference is the use of different stitch types. Due to the flexibility and releasability of knitted fabrics, it is required that the stitches used for stitching the cut pieces must adapt to the elongation and strength of knitted fabric, so that the stitched products have certain elasticity and fastness, and prevent the coil from coming loose. Often stretched parts should also choose good elasticity of the seam.
Woven garments mostly use lock stitch, while knitted garments mainly use chain stitch. But the design of sewing process should choose different stitch and different stitch density according to different fabrics and different garment parts to meet the flexibility of knitting clothing and the fastness of stitch. For example, the stitching between pieces, hem, cuff curls and other parts with more stretching are chain stitching or bag stitching. Rolling, collar, folding, tension seam stitching and trimming adopts tension seam, which has high strength and elasticity and can make the seam smooth; Use less elastic lock stitches only on parts of the garment that do not stretch easily, such as cuffs, pockets, and labels. Therefore, the sewing equipment of knitting clothing is much more complicated than that of weaving clothing.
In addition, we must pay attention to the advantages and disadvantages of the fabric to use a variety of design means and according to different kinds of clothing to choose different knitted fabrics. For example, the fabric is light in quality and has the properties of sweat absorption, breathability and smoothness. It is suitable to be designed into a variety of linear t-shirts. If the collar, sleeve, pocket, lapels and other parts are changed by color or material, it will be more novel and chic.
The fabric of knitted flannelette and cotton wool cloth is soft and elastic, so it can be designed into simple sports casual wear. By using the Mosaic and splicing technology, it can reflect the sense of rhythm in the selection, color, proportion and line of this kind of clothing, and it has the natural and elegant effect. Knitted woolen sweater feels simple and gentle, retractile larger, appear relaxed and natural, comfortable and optional, rich individual character, can make on dress some of colour and design exquisite design or the local such as get, sleeve undertakes change, times feeling and high taste can arise spontaneously. Of course, if the characteristics of knitted fabrics are ignored and the simple pursuit of complex structural modeling is bound to cause the opposite result, so that there will be a great deviation between the actual effect and the design. So the key point of knitting garment design is to grasp the performance of the fabric, according to the characteristics of the fabric to make the design choice of style, structure, process.
