Jul 06, 2022

The lining includes two kinds of lining cloth and padding.


Interlining is mainly used for clothing collars, cuffs, pockets, culottes waist, hem and suit chest and other parts, generally containing hot melt adhesive coating, usually called adhesive lining. According to the difference of the base fabric, the adhesive interlining is divided into woven interlining and non-woven interlining. The woven backing cloth is woven or knitted, and the non-woven backing cloth is pressed from chemical fibers. The quality of the adhesive interlining is directly related to the quality of the garments. Therefore, when purchasing a fusible interlining, not only the appearance is required, but also whether the parameter performance of the interlining is consistent with the quality requirements of the garment. For example: the heat shrinkage rate of the interlining should be as consistent as possible with the heat shrinkage rate of the fabric; it should have good sewability and tailorability; it should be able to firmly bond with the fabric at a lower temperature; it is necessary to avoid the front of the fabric after high temperature pressing. Adhesive; strong and durable adhesion, anti-aging and anti-washing.


Pads include shoulder pads for tops, chest pads, and hip pads for bottoms, etc. The texture is thick and soft, and generally no glue is applied.


When choosing clothing linings, you should pay attention to:


1. The lining should match the performance of the clothing fabric. Including the color of the lining, unit weight, thickness, drape, etc. Heavy fabrics such as flannel should use thick linings, while thin fabrics such as silk fabrics should use soft silk linings, and knitted fabrics should use elastic knitted (warp knitting) linings; the padding color of light-colored fabrics should not be dark; polyester The fabric should not be lined with cotton.


2. The lining should match the function of different parts of the garment. Stiff linings are mostly used for the collar and waist, and thicker linings are used for the chest lining of outerwear; flat linings are generally used for the waist of culottes and cuffs of clothing; stiff and elastic linings Should be used for a neat and crisp look.


3. The lining should match the service life of the garment. Garments that need to be washed should choose washable lining, and consider the dimensional stability of washing and ironing of the lining; cushioning materials, such as shoulder pads, should consider the ability to retain shape to ensure that they will not deform within a certain period of use.


4. The lining should match the equipment used for garment production. Professional and supporting processing equipment can give full play to the auxiliary modeling characteristics of cushion materials. Therefore, when purchasing materials, combined with the working parameters of bonding and processing equipment, targeted selection can play a multiplier effect with half the effort.
