FABRIC FAULTS
3
WOVEN FABRIC FAULTS
4
1. STARTING MARK WARP YARN HEALD SHAFT
FIG: LEVELLING STATE OF WARP YARN IN LOOM
FIG: SHEDDING STATE OF WARP YARN
REASON: THE MAIN REASON OF STARTING MARK IS THE EXTENSION OF WARP YARN DUE TO THE TENSION THAT CREATS ON IT.
REMEDIES:TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM WE HAVE TO MOVE THE BACK REST IN THE BACKWARD POSITION.
5
2. LOOSE WARP IN FABRIC
REASONS:a. IF THE TENSION OF WARP
YARN IS LOW IN WARPING, THEN THIS FAULT APPEARS.
b. IF THE BEAM CONTAIN BROKEN WARP YARN.
REMIDIES:c. THE WARP TENSION IN
WARPING SHOULD BE EQUAL AND UNIFORM.
d. WE HAVE TO MOTIVATE THE WORKER TO TAKE CARE OF THE FABRIC.
6
3. DOUBLE END
REASON: a. AFTER SIZING IF THE TWO ENDS OF WARP
STICKS TOGATHER. AND IF THE WORKER DON’T OBSERVE THAT PROPERLY THAN THOSE ENDS CAN GO TOGATHER THROUGH THE SAME HEALD EYE AND CAN CREATE THIS PROBLEM.
REMEDIE: WORKER HAVE TO BE VERY CARE FULL
ABOUT THIS MATTERS.
7
BROKEN WARP
REASON:IF A WARP YARN BREAKS AND IF THE DROPPER DON’T FALL ON THE DROPPER BAR , THEN THIS FAULT ARISE.
REMEDIES:1. OPERATOR SHOULD WALK AROUND THE
MACHINE TO OBSERVE THIS SORTS OF PROBLEM.
2. IF THE PROBLEM IS IN THE DROPPER BAR THEN, WE HAVE TO CHANGE THAT BAR.
8
TIGHT END
REASON:IF THE TENSION OF A WARP YARN IS MORE THAN THE OTHER ENDS PRESENT IN THE LOOM THEN THIS PROBLEM ARISE. THIS OVER TENSION PRODUCED ON WARP DURING WARPING AND WEAVING.
REMEDIES:TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM WE HAVE TO FIND THESE ENDS AND HAVE TO ADJUST THE TENSION.
9
FLOAT OF WARPREASON :IF SOMEONE PULL THE FABRIC TOWARDS THE CLOTH ROLLER INTENTIONALY OR UNTENTIONALY THEN WE CAN HAVE THIS FAULT.
REMEDIES:WORKER HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFULL ABOUT THE BUTTON WHICH CAUSES THE FABRIC TO COME FORWARD.
10
WRONG END COLOUR
REASON:IT HAPPENS DUE TO THE WRONG DRAWING OF COLOUR YARN.
REMEDIES:
1. WORKER HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFULL DURING DOING THE JOB OF DRWING.
2. AFTER FINDING THE FAULTS WE HAVE TO REMOVE THE FAULTY COLOUR YARN AND PLACE A CORRECT COLOUR YARN.
11
BROKEN PICK
REASONS:1. IF THE SPEED OF THE MACHINE IS TOO
HIGH, THEN BEAT FORCE OF THE REED TO WEFT YARN WILL BE TOO HIGH.
2. IF THE PRESSURE OF THE RELAY NOZZLE AND ELCA IS TOO HIGH.
REMEDIES:2. WE HAVE TO REDUCE SPEED OF THE
MACHINE.
2. WE HAVE TO REDUCE THE PREESURE OF RELAY NOZZLE OR ELCA.
12
MISS PICK
REASONS: IF A WORKER START A
STOPPED MACHINE WITHOUT PICKING THE BROKEN WEFT FROM THE SHED THEN THIS TYPE OF FAULT ARISE.
REMEDY: WE HAVE TO MOTIVATE THE
WORKER TO DO JOB PROPERLY DURING TIME OF PICK FINDING.
13
DOUBLE PICK
REASON:IF THE CUTTER DON’T WORK PROPERLY.
REMEDY:THE ANGLE OF THE CUTTER SHOULD BE CHANGED OR IT’S BLADE SHOULD BE CHANGED.
14
SNARL OR LOOSE WEFT
REASON:IT HAPPENS DUE TO THE MALFUNCTIONING OF THE PFT OR DUE TO LOOSENESS OF THE FILLING YARN ORTHE WRONG ALIGNMENT OF PRE-WINDER TO FIXED NOZZLE.
REMEDIES: 1. THE DEGREE OF THE PFT HAVE TO BE
PERFECT.2. THE PRESSURE OF THE MAIN VALVE,
RELAY VALVE AND RELAY NOZZLE SHOULD BE PERFECT.
3. THE ALIGNMENT OF THE PREWINDER SHOULD UNIFORM AND STRAIGHT.
15
WEFT BAR
REASONS:IF COUNT OF YARN VARY FROM CONE TO CONE OR WITHIN THE CONE THEN A BAR OF WEFT WILL APPEARED IN FABRIC AFTER WEAVING.
REMEDY:TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM WE NEED TO BUY YARN WITH UNIFORM THICKNESS.
16
BALL
REASON:IF THE WARP IS TOO MUCH HAIRY . THEN THE REED WILL CREATE BALL IN WARP YARN IN- BETWEEN HEALD SHAFT AND REED . IF THE BALL IS SMALL ENOUGH TO PASS TROUGH THE DENT OF REED THEN THEY WILL FORM THE BALL IN FABRIC.REMEDY: TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM WE HAVE TO CHANGE THE REED, OR REDUCE THE TENSION OF THE WRAP YARN.
17
HOLES
1. IF WE TRY TO CUT THE BALLS OF THE FABRIC WHICH MAKES THE LOOK OF THE FABRIC POOR THEN IT WILL BE CUT ALONG WITH THE WARP. THIS WILL CREATE HOLE IN THE FABRIC. THIS HOLES BECOME BIGGER AFTER THE FINISHING PROCESS. 2. IT CAN BE HAPPEN DUE TO THE CLASH BETWEEN FABRIC AND SHARP EDGE OF MACHINE PARTS.
REMEDIES: 1. IF WE CONTROL THE BALL WE
CAN CONTROL HOLE. 2. WORKER HAVE TO CAREFULL
DURING THE TRANSPORTATION OF FABRIC FROM ONE FLOOR TO ANOTHER TO AVOID SHARP POINT TINGLE WITH FABRIC.
18
OIL SPOT
REASON:OIL SPOT ON THE FABRICS ARE CAUSED BY TOO MUCH OILING ON LOOM PARTS FROM OTHER SOURCES.
REMEDY:THIS STAINS ARE REMOVED SCOURING.
19
TEMPLE MARK
REASON:IF THE PLACEMENT OF RING IN THE TEMPLE BAR IS WRONG OR THE PRESSURE OF TEMPLE TO THE FABRIC IS TOO HIGH.
REMEDY:THE SETTING OF TEMPLE SHOULD BE PERFECT. AND THE BRISTLE SHOULD BE SHARP AND EASY GOING.
20
TEMPLE PIERCED HOLE
REASON:IF THE RING OF THE TEMPLE IS DAMAGED THEN WE WILL HAVE THIS FAULT.
REMEDY:THE BRISTLE OF THE TEMPLE SHOULD BE SHARP AND EASY GOING.
21
CUT, TORN SELVEDGE
REASON:IF THE CUTTER DON’T CUT THE EDGE THE OF THE FABRIC PROPERLY OR IF THE WEAVE IN THE EDGE OF THE FABRIC IS NOT PROPER. THEN WE WILL HAVE THIS FAULT.
REMEDIES:1. WE CAN SOLVE THIS PROBLEM BY
CHANGING THE BLADE OF THE CUTTER.
2. BY CHANGING THE DEGREE OF THE CUTTER.
3. BY APPLYING SUITABLE WEAVE SYSTEM IN THE EDGE OF THE FABRIC.
22
REED MARK
REASON:IF THE DENT OF THE REED IS DAMAGED THEN WE WILL HAVE THIS KIND OF FAULTS.
REMEDY:THE REED HAVE TO BE CHANGED
23
SLUB
REASON:IF THE YARN CONTAIN UNEXPECTED SLUB IN IT, THEN THOSE SLUB WILL BE APPEARED IN THE FABRIC AS A FAULT.
REMEDY:THE QUALITY CONTROLER HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFULL ABOUT THE ABOUT QUALITY OF THE YARN.

Garment defects:
Any abnormality in the Garment that hinders its acceptability by the consumer ,is
called Garment defect. These are defects that are found in the fabric; mostly these
are caused by the sewing lines.
Garment defects
43
Garment defects can be separated into three categories:
1. Fabric defects:These are defects that are found in the fabric; mostly these are not caused by the sewing lines. E.g. running shade, selvedge-to-selvedge shade, holes, staining mark, missing yarn, foreign yarn, slub , hairiness etc.
2. Workmanship and handling defects: These are defects that are directly caused by production section, this would include both the cutting and sewing section. Buyer’s approved samples must be referred to maintain perfect workmanship.
3. Trims, accessories and embellishment defects:
Garment defect categories
44
Remedies:
1. Machine feed mechanism must be better quality
2. Sewing thread must be selected properly
3. Thread tension must be kept in limit
Seam Puckering: refers to the gathering of a seam either just after sewing or after
laundering causing an unacceptable seam appearance.
Seam Puckering
Causes: This problem arises due to uneven stretching on to plies of fabric during sewing , improper thread tension , wrong sewing thread selection , dimensional instability of the plies of fabric etc.
45
Drop stitch/Skipped stitch: Irregular stitching along the seam.
Remedies:1. Examine the setting and timing between needle and hook or looped.2. Placing of needle properly.3. The tension of thread should be adjusted.4. Needle size & thread size must be adjusted.5. The pressure of pressure foot must be adjusted accurately.
Drop stitch/Skipped stitch
Causes: It appears due to improper handling of cut pieces or machine usage.
46
Wavy/staggered stitching: Stitches are not straight.
Remedies:
1. Needle to be changed
2. Needle size and thread size should be changed
3. Feed mechanism to be changed
Causes: It appears due to improper handling of cut pieces, faulty feed mechanism, needle deflection or wrong needle etc.
Wavy/staggered stitching
47
Open seam or broken seam: Portion of the garment that has not been covered by sewing thread.
Remedies:
1. Proper setting and timing between needle and looper or hook.
2. Proper handling of the parts of garments
Causes: This happens due to improper handling of the parts of garments , improper setting and timing between needle and looper or hook etc.
Open seam or broken seam
48
Broken Stitch: Non-continuous sewing thread.
Remedies:
1. Proper machine usage
2. proper trimming
Broken Stitch
Causes: It appears due to improper trimming or machine usage.
49
Uncut/ loose thread: Extra thread or loose thread on seam line.
Remedies: 1. Garments finishing should be checked properly.
Uncut/ loose thread
Causes: It appears due to improper trimming or finishing.
50
Holes: Broken holes in the fabric where you are able to see through the fabric to the other side.
Remedy:Better inspection of fabric and cut piece. Ensure that fabric and cut pieces that are not up to standard are not put into line and production is wasted. Replace not standard cut pieces with usable ones before input.
Cause:Holes can come from fabric or it could be caused by the production side, either by improper trimming or broken needle puncturing the fabric.
Holes
51
Shading Variations within different parts: Seams appear to be lighter or darker than the other seams surrounding it.
Remedies: After cutting the garment parts must be kept in proper bundle with number.
Causes: It arises due to improper cutting, bundling and numbering.
Shading Variations within different parts
52
Seams not aligned at crossing of seams: Seams are not lined up at intersection of seams.
Remedy: When these defects starts to appear at close to 2% or 5 pieces, the production must be informed and the operator must re-trained in the proper usage of the machine.
Seams not aligned at crossing of seams
Cause: Defects generally come about either from improper handling of the cut piece.
53
Others: Misaligned buttons and holes ,unfinished buttonhole, missing buttons, wrong placement of labels, hang tag, wrong folding or poor folding , improper packing into cartons – all these defects come from finishing section.
Others
54
Sizing defects: (Difference in measurement of various parts of garments), wrong placement of pocket, buttonhole, embroidery and prints , measurement discrepancy- all these problems come from pattern section.
Poor ironing: if not sufficient, there might be creases and crinkles on garment surface and if ironing is too heavy, there might be shining mark on garment.
misaligned buttons and holes ,unfinished buttonhole, missing buttons, wrong placement of labels, hang tag, wrong folding or poor folding , improper packing into cartons – all these defects come from finishing section.
Others
55
Trims, accessories and embellishment defects:These defects include color, size and placement of trims such as labels, sewing thread, screen print, embroidery designs, zipper, hangtag, lining, button and any kind of trims.Defects are given below:
1. Unmatched color of thread2. Broken button and zipper tape3. Short zippers 4. Faulty zippers5. Wrong labels6. Improper size of the labels7. Printing mistake of labels and cartons 8. Broken poly bag 9. Wrong hanger10. Improper embroideries and prints. Etc.
Remedy: This type of defects occurred due to unawareness. That is why during production the garments should be checked properly (In line inspection) and the booking of trims &accessories must be given as like as artwork.
Trims, accessories and embellishment defects:
56
3. Trims, accessories and embellishment defects:These defects include color, size and placement of trims such as labels,
sewing thread, screen print , embroidery designs, zipper, hangtag, lining , button and any kind of trims.
Defects are also classified (as per extent of defect) into Critical, Major and Minor defects.
1.Critical defects are defects that are not allowed to be shipped and are the most serious of defects (0%).
2. Major defects are serious defects that are not allowed over a certain percentage (3%) depending on buyers
requirements3. Minor defects are serious defects that are not allowed over a certain
percentage (5%) depending on buyers requirements
