EVALUATING THE EFFECT OF SEAMS ON COLOUR FASTNESS PROPERTIES OF TEXTILE FABRICS

Textile fabric has many properties. Fastness property is one of the most important properties of them. It is the resistance of textile materials to resist against destructive factors such as abrasion, heat, light, wearing, acidic etc. Colour fastness defined as the resistance of colour to fade or bleed of a dyed or printed textile material to various types of influences like water, light, rubbing, washing, perspiration etc. to which they are normally exposed in textile manufacturing and in daily use. This study concerns with the effect of seam parameters, such like seam allowance, seam types, stitch length and stitch types, on the colour fastness properties, such like wash fastness, light fastness and rub fastness.
