Knitting is widespread in outerwear because of its characteristics like comfort, stretchability, and breathability. Moreover, knitted fabrics are integrated with woven fabrics in clothing, especially winter apparel. Two rib-knitted fabrics were produced on a flat knitting machine with a 5 n/inch gauge from polyacrylic yarn with a tuck stitch. 54 samples were sewn in two groups with the following variables: Knitted fabrics were sewn in three directions (courses, wales, and 45°) with broadcloth fabrics in three directions (warp, weft, and bias). Two types of seams with three types of sewing stitches were used: the SSa seam with the 514 stitch, the SSa seam with the 516 stitch, and the LSq seam with the 516 stitch + the top stitch 301.
The sewing properties of the study samples were examined. The finding showed that the sewing direction of broadcloth fabrics had a significant effect on the seam pucker and had no significant effect on the seam stiffness for the two sample groups, while the sewing direction of broadcloth fabrics had a significant effect on seam appearance for group 2 samples and had no significant effect on it for group 1 samples. Moreover, the sewing direction of knitted fabrics had a significant effect on the seam pucker and had no significant effect on the stiffness and appearance of seams for group 1 samples, while it had no significant effect on all sewing properties for group 2 samples. Both the stitch and seam type had a significant effect on the seam stiffness and had no significant effect on the puckering and appearance of seams for the two sample groups.
