Abstract

A study of thread tensions on a lockstitch sewing machine was made, measuring simultaneously both the needle and bobbin thread tensions. Investigates the relationship between the peak tensions generated during the experiments and the corresponding seam balance. It was found that under the conditions of the experiments it is possible to define an envelope of conditions under which balanced seams will be obtained.
