Then we examined leather using a number of test methods like thickness, tensile strength, abrasion and seam pucker according to standards. . Tests took place into conditioned atmosphere of 21ºC and 65% RH. Comparisons have been made between the two different types of sewing machines and also between the two different thread types this was done with reference to seamed lines’ durability, efficiency and appearance.
