Abstract
This study aims to objectively evaluate cotton fabrics by varying the denier of fusible interlining. The author collected four types of cotton fabric (sateen, duck, twill, and corduroy) and three types of interlinings (10D, 20D, and 30D). Then they tested six mechanical properties and hand for sixteen specimens. Sateen was the representative cotton fabric used for this evaluation. The mechanical properties of sateen are as follows: mechanical properties of the fusible interlining fabrics increase as B, 2HB, and G as the denier increases in the interlining, which implies that garment stability increases. Furthermore, MIU, LC, and SMD increased slightly after fusing the interlining. The results of a sensibility evaluation of the sixteen specimens are as follows: Koshi increased after fusing the interlining, but Numeri and Fukurami decreased. The total fabric hand value decreased after fusing the interlining, but the interlining denier increased in ascending order of 10D, 20D, and 30D.
