Download or read book Pucker Free Seams written by Prabir Jana & Y P Garg and published by Apparel Resources Publication. This book was released on 2020-06-01 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pucker or Puckering is the most used (abused?) term in the garment manufacturing industry. Pick up any quality controllers report, and the first thing that will strike your eye will be “…Puckering in armhole, …Puckering in neckline binding, …control Puckering in bottom hem…” the list is endless. Buying office quality controllers are as enamoured of this term as much as manufacturers abhor it. What is it that makes it so distasteful? Why does it occur? How can it be controlled? While there are numerous leaflets, documents and articles available on pucker, we have found that the majority of them lay great stress on “inherent pucker” (only material parameters). In this booklet have tried to include process parameters as well as sewing of lightweight fabrics. All said and done, the problem is so intricately interdependent that exhaustive compilation is well nigh impossible. We are sure this booklet will help manufacturers to understand the rationale behind this publication and we will consider our effort successful if enthusiastic readers regularly inform us about newer methods to tackle the problem.
