Critical characteristics of fabric quality
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to find out the significance of fabric quality to home sewers and the major characteristics used in assessing fabric quality. The results showed that quality was of primary importance in purchasing fabrics. It was also revealed that subjects were more interested in the physical characteristics of the fabric rather than its performance characteristics. These crucial characteristics were color, print, design, fiber content, weight and fineness.
