Intimates and underwear – Ladies’ Briefs

Intimates and underwear – Ladies’ Briefs

Ladies’ briefs demand high levels of seam elongation, exceptional softness and comfort. We offer a diverse range of sewing threads which includes micro-filament polyester as well as more conventional types.

Approximate thread consumption is 65 metres for ladies briefs and 40 metres for girls briefs.

Depending on the required final quality, alternative thread types may be used. Thread size will determine needle size.

For more information, check out our recommendations below.

Disclaimer

Where two Tex sizes of thread have been suggested the choice will be determined by:

The demands of the stitching operation
The amount of load / demand placed on the seam
The stitch definition required (topstitching)

Coverseaming on ladies’ and girl’s underwear may involve the following stitch types:

406 – Twin needle coverseam
407 – Three needle coverseam
605 – Three needle coverseam with a top covering thread
607 – Flatseam, Four needle coverseam with a top covering thread

The recommendations in the table below apply to all of these stitch types. The choice of which thread to use for top cover is determined by the appearance required. Popular top covering threads include; Gramax, Epic and Sylko. On woven material the overlock and coverseam loopers should use Epic Tex 18.

In order to avoid damage to the fabric during the sewing of knitted underwear, ball point needles are generally recommended.

The sewing thread recommendations laid out above are intended as a guide to aid the construction of garments with good quality seams. As garments of the same generic type differ in terms of fabric substrate and construction, and both making up methods and post make up processing can greatly vary, these recommendations should be viewed as a good starting point for thread selection.

Garment specific recommendations for thread and needle selection as well as accurate thread consumption figures and on-site technical support can be obtained by contacting your local Coats' office.

These recommendations and consumption figures are intended as a guide only and are given in good faith but without warranty or liability on the company or its employees.
