PU leather fabric
PU is a type of synthetic leather , its appearance is similar to natural animal skin and is its best substitute.
PU clothing has the advantages of being waterproof, breathable, and environmentally friendly, but the disadvantages are that it is not wear-resistant and easy to peel. This chapter talks about some precautions during the production process of PU leather:
1. The surface of PU fabric is astringent and difficult to thread, but it is not recommended to use silicone oil because silicone oil may It will not evaporate locally, causing the parts of garments that use silicone oil to become smooth and soft, creating a different feel from the parts that do not use silicone oil.
Then how to sew PU leather? Here are some small methods:
A. Use detergent and water instead of silicone oil (but dry the fabric in time after use to prevent mildew spots).
B. Use plastic press corners when cutting seams and lines. Do not use metal press feet, otherwise it will easily damage the surface of the fabric, and sew with cardboard or film.
C. When cutting the wide seam and cutting the thread, because PU is elastic, it is easy to twist. You can use the presser foot roller to assist in sewing.
D. PU leather has a certain degree of elasticity. Anti-deformation linings need to be applied to curved areas. And it is not recommended to use scissors on curved areas. PU is two-layer composite, which may cause wrinkles and unevenness after scissors are used.
2. PU fabrics have weak folding and ironing properties and are not resistant to high temperatures. Avoid ironing as much as possible in terms of process settings. When unavoidable, do not iron directly with an iron. It is necessary to put a layer of separator cloth on the iron. It is best to choose breathable polyester yarn to cover the iron before ironing.
3. PU leather garments must be kept dry enough during storage, otherwise mildew spots will easily appear. Try not to stack them when hanging them. Two layers are combined. The fabric is prone to creases at the folds and is difficult to remove.
