\"image\"<\/a> American & Efird (A&E)<\/a> is a global leader in denim threads manufacturing. With over a century of experience in industrial threads , they come out with number of technical bulletins to help and guide denim garment manufacturers to optimize seam performance in denim stitching so that not only rejections due to stitching are minimized but also the life of the garment is extended with better stitching.<\/p>\n

Here are some recommendations from A & E to optimize seam performance.<\/p>\n

Denim Jeans \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Optimizing Seam Performance<\/h2>\n

Selecting the proper thread for denim garments is very important to minimize sewing and seam performance issues. There is an old saying that:<\/p>\n

\n

Thread only makes up a small percent of the cost of the finished product \u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 but shares 50% of the seam responsibility.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

A typical pair of adult size jeans will have from 200 to 250 yards of thread in them depending on the seam construction. Most major jean manufacturers have experimented with different thread types to reduce cost but most have found that corespun threads give the best overall
performance. Most jean manufacturers put their products through various wash processes after manufacturing and some of these processes can be very harsh. The cost of these wash processes can be from $.75 to $3.00 per jean or more<\/strong> depending on the chemicals, stones, enzymes and process time required. The amount of thread used in a jean typically costs between $.25 and $.30 <\/strong>while the wash-process can cost up to $3.00 per jean.
The thread must be able to withstand all of these processes \u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 and hold the seams together for the life of the garment.
When you talk about sewing denim, there are four key issues that need to be considered:
1) What is the weight of  denim fabric?
2) How large  topstitching thread is required?
3) What finishing procedures will the jeans be subjected to?
4) What quality issues need to be addressed?
<\/strong>With these questions answered, you will be able to produce jeans that meet the requirements for today\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s  huge variety in Jeanswear. From a basic 5-Pocket Jean to the most creative pair of High-Fashion Jeans, your sewing plant can produce the quality for each.
The thread of choice used by most quality denim garment manufacturers for topstitching and stress seams include corespun threads ie<\/p>\n
