This document discusses quality control in garment sewing. It outlines several key factors in ensuring quality like proper fabric and materials, well-maintained machines, accurate stitching and measurements. Common defects like skipped stitches, shade issues, and seam puckering are described along with their causes and solutions. Maintaining quality is important to satisfy customers' expectations for the right product, quality, timeliness and undamaged condition. Close monitoring of all production steps from input materials to packaging is needed to control quality in garment sewing.

5. Quality is defined as the level of acceptance
of a good or service. It is a very essential
requirement for any kind of product. Every
product should maintain the standard quality
level.
21st century of globalization market are
becoming more and more complex, that’s why
every industry are facing a high level of
competition for their business. So the product
must fulfill the customer requirement. For this
reason every product should maintain the
quality level.
Sewing is the craft of fasting or attaching
objects using stitches made with needle &

6. Objectives
 Knowing the customer need
 Designing to meet them.
 Faultless construction To
maximize the production of goods
within the specified tolerances
correctly the first time.
 Certified performance and safety.
 suitable packaging .

7. Satisfaction Quality can be ensured
from the customer’s point of view by
providing
Right product.
Right quality.
Right time.
Undamaged condition.

8. Quality level of a garment we need to
observe some specific sector
 Fault free fabric.
 Shade matching of the garments.
 Making the pattern as per buyer
requirement.
 All the different parts of the garment
should have the perfect size.
 Good stitching, seam formation should be
perfect.
 Additional accessories such as button,
zipper, tag, level is in right position.

10. Quality Control in Sewing
Section
 Input material checking
 Accessories checking
 Machine is in well condition
 Thread count check
 Needle size checking
 Stitching fault should be checked
 Garments measurement check
 Seam fault check
 Size mistake check

11. Some Defects occur in sewing
section and remedies

12. Some place in the stitch line where the
stitch does not formed
Cause:-
 Failure of needle to enter loop at
correct time.
 Needle deflection or bent needle.
 Thread loop failure due to
incorrect needle size for thread
size.
 Incorrect sewing tension in the
needle.
 Thread loop failure due to
incorrect setting of thread
control mechanism.
Solution:-
 The sewing tension in the needle
should be proper.
 Perfect needle size for thread
size.

13. Needle breakage defect
Cause:-
 Excessive tension in needle thread
 Excessive needle heat, groove or
eye blocked with melted fabric
 Thread fraying at needle
 Thread trapped at thread guide
 Thread trapping at the base of
cone.
Solution:
 The needle has to change
immediately. If the scratch on the
garments is very big or deep the
product should be rejected.
 Use stronger thread or adjust
tension.
 Reduce Increase thread guides
and reduce disc tension

14. Oil mark in garments
Cause:-
• During the sewing operation
oil can accidentally slick out
from the machine and drop on
the fabric and spotted.
Solution:-
 Spot lifter chemical use to
remove the oil the mark of the
garments. At first the spot
lifting chemical spray on the
garments spot then air blown
by the machine. The spot
remove.

15. Seam Pucker
Cause:-
 Fabric and / or thread instability.
 Poorly controlled fabric feed.
 Extension in sewing thread.
 Incorrect tension setting.
 Structural jamming or inherent
pucker.
Solution:-
 Adjust feed timing and fabric
control for maximum pulling of the
fabric.
 Check tension level in the thread,
Sew with minimum tension
possible.
 Always adjust bobbin thread
tension first then needle thread
tension.

16. Shade problem
Causes:
 It is also may be a problem in
cutting section where this
parts made numbering
mistake.
For the lack of experience or
concentration of worker and
if different parts are mixed by
worker.
Solution:
 Shade problem parts are
separate and actual parts are
attached.

17. Kacha problem
If unexpected parts are
shown by the garments
from sewing area then this
problem is occurred.
Causes:
 For lack of experience or
concentration of worker.
Solution:
 The unexpected part is cut
out precisely.

18. Stitch line uneven
Cause:
 This fault is occurred by
operator.
Solution:
 The stitch has to open and
again sewing. Non
matching thread: Some
times when sewing is done,
the garments and the
sewing thread looked shade
variation.

19. There are certain quality related
problems in garment
 Color effects - Color defects that could occur are
difference of the color of final produced garment to the
sample shown, accessories used are of wrong color
combination and mismatching of dye amongst the
pieces.
 Sizing defects - Wrong gradation of sizes, difference in
measurement of a garment part from other, for
example- sleeves of XL size but body of L size. Such
defects do not occur has to be seen too.
 Garment defects - During manufacturing process
defects could occur like faulty zippers, irregular
hemming, loose buttons, raw edges, improper button
holes, uneven parts, inappropriate trimming, and

20. Non sewing defect
 Defects due to fault materials, like fabric,
buttons, zipper etc.
 Defects due to wrong pattern, wrong
marking.
 Defects due to wrong spreading ,wrong
cutting.
 Defects due to wrong bundling.
 Defects due to staining, oil marks.
 Defects due to wrong ironing, wrong folding.
 Defects due to wrong packing etc.

21. Stitch defect
 Skipped stitch: Missing in loop formation & speed
variation in feed dog is the main cause of these defect.
 Staggered stitch: This type of defect occurs for thin
needle if needle size and thread count are not
matched and needle displaced then this defect also
appear.
 Unbalanced stitch: This type of defect appears to un-
uniform thread tension.
 Variable stitch: If feed dog is not in right track then this
type of defect occurs.
 Open stitch: This type of defect occurs due to blunt
needle and poor strength of sewing thread.
 Needle mark: Needle is the main element of sewing

22. Various defects in garments
 Broken buttons
 Broken snaps
 Broken stitching
 Defective snaps
 Different shades within
the same garment

31. FIVE COMMON SEWING
MACHINE MISTAKES & HOW
TO FIX THEM

32. (1) The needle unthreads itself
when worker start
sewing only just threaded the
needle and as soon as they
put their foot down on the
pedal the thread decides to
come out of the needle. It is
Simple to solve though , firstly,
make sure they have a few
inches of thread pulled
through the needle and out
towards the back of the
machine before begin.
Secondly – and this is
something it took a little while
to discover when worker first
began sewing – check the

33. (2)The fabric is
jiggling around like
crazy Lower the
presser foot, The
presser foot holds
the fabric in place
stitch neatly, not
free style. The
stitching is really
uneven.

34. (3)If the stitching looks loopy
on one side and tight on the
other, first reaction might be
to blame the thread tension
setting on the machine.
Some times be right – in
which case, try adjusting the
tension dial and test sewing
on a scrap of fabric until the
stitching looks even on both
sides of the fabric. Yet often
it’s not the tension dial that
needs changing – it’s the
way threaded the bobbin,
which also affects the
tension.

35. (4) Stitching is crazy tight
on the top side Again, this
could need to adjust the
tension dial, but before
go doing that, just check
that spool thread isn’t
caught on the little silver
tension discs on top of
the machine.

36. (5) The threads are
knotting up together,
This is another really
common issue – that
threads knot up either
on the fabric, or worse,
they get jammed in the
machine and have to
yank them out or even
unscrew the needle
plate to get them out.
Before start sewing,
check that both spool
and bobbin threads are
sticking out towards the
back of the machine –
otherwise they can get
twisted up in the

37. Conclusion
Quality control plays an important role in
readymade garments production. Nowadays
buyer requires specific quality in all major
parts of the finished products. What special in
this report is that the information data and
description very much objective & practical.
We have tried to complete this project work as
much we can. It will help us to maintain the
quality of the garments in garments
production. Finally after completing this
assignment we will get some idea about
quality control of garments sewing which will
help us in the future as well as in rich our
knowledge.
