Sewing Thread Consumption for Some Apparel and Stitches

 

Sewing Thread Consumption for Some Apparel and Stitches

Sewing Thread:

Sewing thread is one of the most important trimmings for the garments. Before manufacturing the garments by using different types of fabric, we have to calculate thread consumption for the definite apparel. Every garment merchandiser should know the approximate amount of sewing-thread needed for making the garments. This assumption will help him to prepare costing for the definite garments very fast. As its importance, this article has shown some approximate sewing thread consumption for the definite garments and stitches.
