    Sewing Thread Consumption

    Sewing thread is required for seam sewing/assembling, overlocking, various types of stitching, buttonholing, label attachment
    etc. Clearconception in sewing thread consumption calculation of garments is essential for a merchandiser to estimate the total
    number of cones required for a specific order and to purchase the sewing thread accordingly. 

    There are two methods usually used to determine the sewing thread consumption: 

    1. Measuring the actual length of sewing thread consumed in a specific length of seam. 

    2. Calculating the sewing thread consumption by using mathematical stitch formula based on stitch class, stitches per inch (SPI),
    thickness of the seam, thread tension, thread count etc. 

    Following is a list of thread consumption of different sewn garments. This list is based on typical garment construction.
