Sewing thread
Sewing thread is a basic raw material for giving desired shape to a garment and holding the body
parts together by creating seams. It is a very important item for tailoring shops, industrial
garment manufacturers and fashion houses. It has both functional and aesthetic properties. When
we are using it for making seams then it is playing its functional role and when we are using it

for embellishment purposes like embroidery or applique then it is playing its aesthetic properties.

Besides, it is also used in the automotive industries for making car seats, airbags, seat belts and
the vehicle interior design. It is also used in the footwear industries. It has a great use in the
embroidery industries too.

As sewing thread has a variety of types and end uses, we should have proper knowledge about it
before buying and using. Now we will know about the definition, types and end uses from below
illustration.
Definition Of Sewing Thread
Sewing thread is a trim which ensures the functional properties of a garment or any clothing
product by securing the seams. It is a special type of yarn which is used for sewing but not for
knitting or weaving.

It can be made of staple fibre or continuous filaments by twisting hardly or slightly. Two or more
filament yarns are twisted together to make threads. Sometimes single filament is also used.
Natural or synthetic or blended fibres can be used to make sewing threads.

If we talk about closing and top stitch seams then core spun threads are perfect which can give
outstanding quality seams. For over locking or cover stitch seams continuous bulk filament
threads are perfect. For high quality denim garment, natural and synthetic fibre blended core
spun threads are perfect for closing seams. For achieving perfect seam strength for leather goods,
continuous filament threads are perfect.

What is interlining?
Interlining is a layer of textile used between two outer layers of shell fabric to impart strength,
support, stability and shape retention to the outer shell fabric against any distortion due to stress
exerted at various stages of production, during wearing/use or aftercare treatments. The
interlining is also called as interfacing.
Difference between interlining and lining
The lining is a layer of textile used under the garment as cover to the raw edges and smooth
surface to support outer shell for good drape. It can be woven or knits as needed for a particular
application/use. For an example, in the girl’s frock, you will find white lining fabrics under the
shell fabric.

As said above interlining is used between two outer fabric layers. For an example, fusible
interlining used in collar and cuff in men’s formal shirts for stiffening the said components.

Why use interlining?

Followings are the primary objective of using interlining in garments.

Interlinings are primarily used for imparting strength/support, stability and shape retention.
When fused to the outer shell fabric it acts as a composite and stabilizes the outer shell against
any distortion under stress
Helps improve aesthetic and hand feel of fused laminate
Helps retain the shape of the fused part during use and after care treatment
Improves longevity of fused part.

Lace braid and Elastic:

Lace is a delicate fabric made of yarn or thread in an open weblike pattern, made by machine or
by hand. Generally, lace is divided into two main categories, needlelace and bobbin lace. There
are other types of lace, such as knitted or crocheted lace. Other laces such as these are considered
as a category of their specific craft. Knitted lace, therefore, is an example of knitting. This article
considers both needle lace and bobbin lace

Elastic:
An elastic tape is a tape that has an elastic structure - creating a stretching effect. Capsule's elastic

Quality of Trimmings:
Quality trimming is suggested to reduce the effect of the progressive decrease in sequencing
quality with the increased length of the sequenced library.

The materials or components except the main fabric used in the garments are called trims.
Besides the main fabric, various additional things are used for making the garments. Trims
include Sewing Thread, Button, Zipper, Velcro, Label, Shoulder pad, Linings, Interlinings,
