Abstract
In this study, the sewing feeding force and its regularity which is an indicator to stich length regularity were measured using a computer-based measuring systems under the real conditions of sewing process. This system was established to measure the feeding force directly using a gauge piece and a strain meter. The effect of sewing machine setting in terms of speed, presser foot load and stitch density on the feeding force and its regularity from stitch to another were studied. The effect of sewing parameters in terms of number of layers and sewing line direction were also studied. The effect of sewing machine setting on the distance of slippage between fabric layers and the relation between feeding force regularity and stitch length regularity were investigated. The established computer based measuring system could be used as a testing instrument to identify the different ideal sewing parameters for different kinds of fabrics in order to improve the sewing quality.
