Abstract
Functions of fusible interlinings to the top fabric are to enhance the formability for a beautiful silhouette and elastic potential to the deformed fabric under the bending and shearing deformations during wearing, which decide appearance and wearing properties of the garment. The objective of this study is to analyse fitness of fusible interlining to the thin worsted fabric with various structural parameters. For the purpose of this objective, specimens with various weft yarn twists and weft densities of thin worsted fabric are prepared for 3 harness fabrics. Three fusible interlinings which are made by cotton 100%, cotton 43%/viscose rayon 57% and PET 30%/viscose rayon 70% are used for adhering to thin worsted fabrics. Mechanical properties of these thirty adhesive fabrics fused with these interlinings are measured by KES-FB System for analysing appearance and wearing properties of garment state and for examining the fitness of fusible interlining to the thin worsted fabrics with various fabric structural parameters. Same procedures are performed under repetition of dry cleaning of adhesive fabrics for analysing relationship between repetition of dry cleaning and fitness of fusible interlining to the various thin worsted fabrics.
