  12 FACTORS TO CALCULATE ACCURATE THREAD CONSUMPTION  What is thread consumption per garment? How many threads required to sew a garment is called thread consumption. Sample selection for thread consumption calculation is very important, we have to select the right sample and size. Thread consumption calculation should consider proper allowance to avoid thread shortage or exceeding. Even thread cost is low than other cost of garment materials, thread consumption calculation is a very sensitive process. Providing incorrect thread consumption may lead to issues in production and delivery. Thread consumption formula, Thread consumption = (Seam length x Frequency x Factor) / 100 + Allowances What are the facts that should be consider making an accurate thread consumption report. 1. Samples Type When we select the sample for thread consumption calculation, we must be checked the type of sample. As below mentioned there are many types of samples. In all of them, we ha...
