Seamless

 Conventional sweaters can be produced by sewing together the various parts, knitted separately, such as the front body, back body and sleeves. A new method of knitting is made possible by using the state-of-the-art computerised flat knitting machines, where an entire garment can be created in one piece, straight off the machine, without the need for linking or sewing. Such type of knitwear are generally referred to as ‘complete garments’ or ‘seamless knitwear’.

With the technology of ‘Seamless’ Knitwear machines becoming ever more sophisticated and versatile in product designs, Niki Tait takes a look at some of the innovations in the market.

By delivering a whole article of clothing in one complete piece, there is a lot of expected in time and cost reserve funds, under this creation strategy. There is no work escalated cutting, sewing or connecting processes. Also, there is no material waste as the piece material that is discarded subsequent to removing each example in traditional creation is disposed of. Being electronic, the innovation can be applied to a little part creation, with more prominent assortment, or even single thing creation for making one-off made-to-quantify knitwear. Numerous specialists in the weaving business concur that total article of clothing sewing will turn into the standard strategy for weaving during the 21st century




Advantages and Disadvantages of seamless garments
Advantages
1. Improved aesthetic value and comfort
2. Cost saving
3. Waste reduction
4. Lower lead-time
5. Flexibility
6. Quality and durability

Disadvantages

1. There are technical limitations in the seamless technique to knit every garment type/shape currently produced by cutting and sewing. The main problem has been the fabric take down in keeping equal tension of each loop (i.e., stitch).

2. The machines used for manufacturing seamless garments are costlier, and more skilled operators are required.

3. A fault during knitting (particularly a hole or a barré) damages the whole garment.

4. Seamless garments are costlier as compared to seamed garments.

5. While lightweight, next-to-skin garments score advantage points for comfort, this is slightly less important for outerwear garments, where the seam can become a style/fashion feature.

6. Another problem is caused during alternate needle selection, which makes fabrics more open and less elastic than conventional fully fashioned garments. This problem occurs mainly in the welt or the cuff areas.
