“…The characteristic damage of seam grinning is shown in Figure 5 . The results of our research are comparable with the study [ 12 ], where the seam failure is determined by the direction of the specimen’s die-cut. In both fabric types, the weft and warp are significantly different; hence, the variable form of destruction is closely related to the cutting direction of the samples.…”

“…In the weft direction, with a stitch length of 4 mm and a needle type LR 90, the breaking force was lower by 1.16% (426.36 N) than that of PVC faux leather (431.06 N), which is a statistically non-significant difference. Moreover, the study [ 12 ] confirmed that, in general, the strength of the seam is higher in the warp direction.…”

“…To minimize the deformations in the fabric in the seams and to keep the seam strong and durable if possible, it is necessary to select an appropriate sewing thread, stitch length, and other parameters such as needle characteristics, thread tension, and stitch type [ 9 , 10 , 11 ]. The study [ 12 ] is aimed at the static tensile tests for selected upholstery fabrics and the identification of the most optimal connections for fabric and stitch. The conclusion was drawn that the fabric tensile strength was the highest for Secret 10 fabric.…”

With their properties, upholstery covering materials significantly influence the quality of upholstered products. These materials form the surface layer of upholstered furniture; any damage to this material is immediately visible to the user. We consider the stitches connecting the covering fabrics to be one of the critical points of the upholstered surface, therefore they must have the required strength. Faux leather is one of the most used upholstery materials. The main aim of the paper is to determine the effect of upholstery faux leather, stitch length, point needle, and needle size on the strength of the stitches and the seam efficiency. The results of the experiment proved the suitability of using a sewing needle LR for joining covering materials such as faux leathers. The highest force to seam a rupture in the joints was achieved in the direction of the warp yarns of the underlying layer of PU (Polyurethane) faux leather with a stitch length of 4 mm and needle type LR/90. The highest seam efficiency was achieved with seams in the direction of the weft yarns of the PVC (Polyvinyl chloride) faux leather underlying layer with a stitch length of 4 mm and needle type LR/90. If the underlying layer of faux leather is a fabric with canvas binding, a higher seam efficiency of joints is assumed.

Among the many materials utilized in the production of automotive components are textile materials. Long-term use of vehicle seats causes the textile material used to cover the seats to degrade. Because of this, drivers and vehicle owners critically inspect such deteriorated car seat covers before getting a new one. This study is aimed at identifying the various factors that influence drivers and vehicle owners’ decisions about the choice of seat covers. In addition, to determine the factors that influence customers’ perception of locally manufactured seat covers by upholstery artisans. Structured questionnaire and online google form were used to collect data from 1042 respondents across the 16 regions of Ghana. The five main factors that customers focused on were identified using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) with Varimax rotation. Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) was used to predict the perception factors of local upholstery artisans and customers using the Smart PLS software. Textile resistance and accessibility, durability, quality, perception and aesthetics were the selection factors. The findings showed that consumers of automotive textile materials take into account the aforementioned aspects before making purchases, therefore manufacturers should pay attention to these factors to increase efficiency. The study concludes that local upholstery artisans need to concentrate on these factors in their operations.
