Comparison of High and Low-End Processes for Knitted Sweaters

In recent years, the technology of computerized flat knitting machines has been advancing, and many sweater factories have appeared all over the world. Factories are generally concerned about the high-end manufacturing process of sweaters only in the selection of yarns, thinking that sweaters made with high-end yarns are naturally high-quality sweaters. But in fact, whether a sweater is high-end or not is not only judged by this criterion but also involves the ironing and sewing processes, and so on.

Today, let's briefly talk about the difference between high and low-end sewing processes from the perspective of sewing.

1. About the Neckline Sewing
   • The low-end process is often a direct link, resulting in sharp seam points. The seams thus processed will have raised points, which are not smooth to the touch and uncomfortable to wear.
   • High-end craftsmanship has a smooth surface at the seams, and hand-stitching makes the neckline seam flatter and smoother, making it more comfortable to wear.
2. About Shoulder Seams
   • Low-end craftsmanship has sharp points on the cuffs and wrinkles on the seams. This kind of craftsmanship will result in the cuffs not being flat enough and easy to wrinkle, affecting the overall appearance and comfort.
   • High-end craftsmanship makes the shoulder seams straight and fully molded. High-end technology ensures the shoulder stitching is straight and neat, without unnecessary wrinkles, resulting in a more beautiful appearance and more comfortable wear.
3. About the Trimming of Collar Stitches
   • Low-end craftsmanship has collar stitches that go beyond the trim line. Such treatment will make the collar stitching look untidy and lack aesthetic appeal.
   • High-end craftsmanship has collar stitches hand-stitched for neat seams. Hand stitching makes the neckline stitching neater and more beautiful, enhancing the overall texture and appearance.
