QUALITY
•Ideal condition of excellence.
•Product quality is based on a product attribute.
•User-based quality is fitness for use,
• manufacturing based quality is conformance to requirements,
•value based quality is the degree of excellence at an
acceptable price
ISO 9000:2000 Defines it as “degree to which a set of inherent
characteristics fulfill requirement.”

3. 02
Quality inspection in apparel industries:
“Visual examination or review of raw materials, partially finished
components of garments and completely finished garments in
relation to some standards, specifications, or requirements, as
well as measuring garments to check if they meet the required
measurements.”

4. 03
Quality inspection in apparel industries:
•done to control quality of garments.
•Checking of fabric,
•sewing thread,
•button,
•stitch,
• zipper,
•garments size etc
according to required standard or specification is
known as inspection.
•Quality inspection is important for every section of apparel
industries.

5. 04
Steps in apparel industries to control quality
1. Raw Material Inspection;
2. In Process Inspection;
3. Final Inspection;

6. 05
Raw Material Inspection:
•Fabric Inspection
•Sewing Thread Inspection
•Trims & Accessories check

7. 06
Fabric Inspection
• done through Fabric Inspection machine.
• very important for every industries .
• In fabric inspection their checks several things i.e. in fabric are
there any defect available or not. In fabric, fabric defects viz.
off shade or shade variation, hole in fabric, barre effect etc.
can be visual after entering into the store room. For those
defects it will be problem able for making garments making.
• In fabric inspection, also check fabric strength, color, quantity
To check fabric there are different system i.e. 4 point system,
10 point system etc.

Sewing Thread Inspection
During stitching fabric frequently brakeage of sewing thread
is one of the great problems for garments manufacturing. So
that it is necessary to check
•thread construction,
•sewability,
•color,
•imperfection,
• finish, package
•density,
•winding,
•yardage of sewing thread.

12. 11
Sewing Thread Inspection
•In thread construction
•thread number,
•thread ply,
•thread tenacity,
•thread elongation,
•number of twist
is necessary to check.

13. 12
Trims & Accessories check
•Button,
•Zippers
• interlining,
• label &
•tags
also need to check so that quality can be maintain according
to required quality.
•For button,
•button strength,
• button color,
• quantity etc
are checked.

14. 13
In Process Inspection
• Inspecting different parts of garments before sewing are
called in process inspection.
• It starts from marker making, than fabric spreading, fabric
cutting, fabric sewing, pressing or finishing checking is done
in process.
– marker making
– fabric spreading
– fabric cutting
– sorting/ bundling
– fabric sewing
– seam defects
– assembly defects
– pressing/ finishing defects

15. 14
Marking inspection
Factors which must be checked
• It is necessary to check all the parts of garments pattern are in
marker.
• In marker labelling or coding of pattern should be checked
• Pattern direction should be checked.
• The entire pattern are sated correctly.
• Pattern grain line is very important thing which must be
considered during marker making.
• During marker making every pattern pieces dimension should be
accurate.
• During marker making fabric length and width should be
considered.
• Marker width
• Notches & drill marks
• Knife clearance
• Checks and stripes (mittering)

16. Pattern Grading Defects
1. Grade Not Conforming to Specification measurements
Finished product not measuring to specified dimension and
component parts not fitting in relationship to notches, openings and
seams such as armholes sleeve heads neck bands, neck openings
and side seams inseams, waist measurements and etc.
2. Distorted Grading:
Unbalanced patterns which would cause twisted seams, puckering,
pleating and a general uneconomical yardage waste.

17. Marking defects
1.Shaded Parts:- All component pans not included in same section.
2. Pieces not Symmetrical:-Will not sew together without puckering or
pleating.
3. Not Marked by Directional Lines:-Bias will not lit together, causing
twisting, puckering. pleating and a general mismatching of component
parts.
4. Skimpy marking:-Marker did not use outside perimeter of pattern.
Pattern moved after partially marked to fit into space.
5. Notches and Punch Marks:-Left out., not clearly marked or misplaced.
6. Marker Too Wide:-Parts will not catch in lay, causing skimpy garments or
requiring results.
7 Marker Too Narrow:-Results In wasted material.
8. Mismatched Plaids-Marker did not block component parts to match.
9. Misdirected Napping:-Patterns not marked in same direction and napped
fabrics.

18. 17
Spreading inspection
Factors which must be checked
• Fabric Nature
• Ply alignment
• Ply tension/slackness
• Bowing
• Splicing
• Grain-line
• Shade variation
• Selvedge alignment & tightness
• Fabric width
• Checks
• Static electricity

19. Spreading Defects
1. Uneven Spreading:- Front edge of lay is not even, resulting in front or back
edge of marker not catching all ply.
2·. Narrow Material:- Bolts or rolls of material too narrow to cover marker
width.
3. Missed Sectional Breaks:- Sectional marker breaks too long or too short.
Parts in lay will be short or material wasted.
4. Improper Tension:- Cloth spread too tight or too loose, causing parts not to
fit in sewing or distorting dimensions of garments.
5. Mismatching Plaids:- Material spread too loose or too tight causing plaid
lines to run diagonally or bow.
6. Misdirected Napping:- Air pockets not removed. Napped material reversed
in spreading.
7. Improper Matching of Face of Material:-Not spread face down, face up or
face to face as required.

20. 19
Cutting inspection
Factors/defects which must be checked
• Frayed edge
• Fuzzy, ragged or serrated edges
• Ply to ply fusion
• Single edge fusion
• Pattern precision
• Notches & drillers
• Cutting Equipment precision

21. Cutting Defects
1.Marker or Perforator:- Not stapled or stencilled on lay to catch both edges
causing parts to miss in cutting. Too tight or too loose, distorting dimensions of
garment. Perforated stencil ,not powdered or inked, sufficiently to show distinct
lines, notches and punch marks.
2. Misplaced Piece Rate Tickets or Bundle Members:-Attached to, or marked on,
wrong bundles, causing mixed sizes or land shades.
3. Drill Marks:- Drill marks misplaced, not perpendicular, omitted or wrong side drill
used.
4. Opening Slits:- Cut under above to the side or at incorrect angle. Not cut
through entire bundle or omitted.
5. Improper Cutting:- Not following marker lines, resulting in distorted parts. Letting
knife lean causing top and bottom ply to be of different sizes.
6. Notches:- Misplaced, too deep, too shallow or omitted.
7. Oil Spots:- Equipment improperly oiled or cleaned.
8. Improper Knife Sharpening:-Causing ragged, frayed or fused edges on
bundles.
9. Knife or Scissor Cut:-Piece damaged by over run in cutting previous piece.

22. 21
Sorting/ Bundling inspection
• It is necessary to check numbering, sorting, and bundling is
done accurately.
Defects.
1. Not Stacked in Numerical Order: Bundle numbers not in
order on rack skid or box.
2. Matching Linings: Wrong size or wrong material.

48. •Excessive Seam Puckering - Wovens
DESCRIPTION: Where the seam does
not lay flat and smooth along the
stitchline.
Caused by one of the following:
1) Feed Puckering - where the plies of
fabric in the seam are not being
aligned properly during sewing;
2) Tension Puckering - where the thread
has been stretched and sewn into the
seam. The thread then causes the
seam to draw back and pucker;
3) Yarn Displacement or structural
jamming - caused by sewing seams
with too large of thread that causes
the yarns in the seam to be displaced,
giving a puckered appearance.

49. MINIMIZING EXCESSIVE SEAM PUCKERING:
1)Use the correct thread type and size for the fabric. In many cases, a
smaller, higher tenacity thread is required to minimize seam
puckering but maintain seam strength
2) Sew with minimum sewing tension to get a balanced stitch;
3) Make sure machines are set up properly for the fabric being sewn;
4) Check for proper operator handling techniques.

turned.
– A defect in “A” zone is considered more serious than a
