Abstract The mechanical properties of seaming stitch have been frequently reported. However, the frictional characteristics of seaming stitch have long been ignored. In this article, to reveal the influence of sewing process on the fabric’s friction, we measured the coefficient of friction (COF) of fabric with different seam patterns. These seam patterns were fabricated by using controllable sewing thread and sewing process. On the basis of our experiment, we found that the COF of fabric’s front was higher than that of fabric’s back. Another conclusion is that the COF in the weft direction was higher than that in the warp direction. Additionally, thin sewing thread, long stitch, and large seam space can cause low COF. On the contrary, relative high COF is generated by thick sewing thread, short stitch, and small seam space. According to our results, we expect to provide the matching suggestion between the fabric and seam pattern from the point view of trichology.
