Gathering of fabric due to its tension being less than that of stitches; typically due to improper thread tension, inadequate hooping or inappropriate backing.
Result of the fabric being gathered by the stitches. Many possible causes include incorrect density, loose hooping, lack of backing, incorrect tension or dull needle.
The crinkling, shriveling or wrinkling of a coat of finishing material upon drying.
Result of the fabric being gathered into small folds or wrinkles by the stitches, caused by incorrect density, loose hooping, having no backing, incorrect tension or a dull needle.
The wrinkling of names, numbers, and crests. This is caused by the differing degrees of shrinkage between the jersey and the items sewn onto it. A good sign of game use.
Result of fabric being gathered by the stitches. Possible causes include loose hooping, lack of or improper backing, incorrect tension or a dull needle.
A condition in a carpet seam, often due to poor layout or unequal stretching, etc., wherein the carpet on one side of the seam is longer than on the other side, causing the long side to wrinkle or develop a "pleated" effect. (See BUCKLING.)
Refers to the wrinkled appearance of a seam, which can be caused by a number of factors including: 1) Structural jamming; 2) Tension puckering, and 3) Feed puckering. A&E's Perma Core® is recommended on many fabrics to minimize seam puckering because of its high tenacity and excellent lubricity characteristics. (See Technical Bulletin, Seam Puckering.)
