2. The Advantage of Core Spun Thread compared toSpun Threadregarding the quality of the finished garment AMANN GROUP 2010

3. Construction of sewing thread Spun thread Core spun thread Cut fibers Cut fibers = Spun Continous filament = core PES PES/PES AMANN GROUP 2010

4. The difference of core spun thread Spun thread Advantages of core spun threads e.g. Saba C Advantages of spun threads • Smaller diameter than spun threads while having same breaking strength • More meters on spool • Optimized elongation behavior and less shrinkage (washing, drying) • Higher abrasion resistance • Less knots and thick places • Universal • Lower buying price • For thick ticket numbers: Used for special effects on decorative stitching AMANN GROUP 2010

5. Breaking strength: Construction of sewing thread Comparison of core spun threads – spun threads AMANN GROUP 2010

6. Abrasion resistance (based on Martindale abrasion testing / DIN 53863-T3): Construction of sewing thread Comparison of different thread constructions AMANN GROUP 2010

7. The difference of core spun thread Spun thread ADVANTAGEof core spun threads (e.g. Saba C) compared to spun threads • Smaller diameter than spun threads while having same breaking strength • smaller needle size can be used – therefore less danger of material damages, especially in knitwear • More meters on spool • Higher efficiency because of less changes of bobbin Meters on normal standard bobbins: Spun thread 120 - app. 70 m Core spun thread 120, e.g. SabaC 120 – app. 82 m Core spun thread 150, e.g. SabaC 150 – app. 113 m AMANN GROUP 2010

8. The difference of core spun thread Spun thread ADVANTAGE of core spun threads (e.g. Saba C) compared to spun threads • Optimized elongation behavior and less shrinkage (washing, drying) • Less problems with seam puckering in very fine and delicate fabrics • Higher abrasion resistance • Less problems with damaged seams in case of washing procedures of Jeans or “gone” seams on very exposed seams • Higher efficiency because core spun threads (SabaC) can stand the strain of high speed sewing machines without thread breakages AMANN GROUP 2010

9. The difference of core spun thread Spun thread ADVANTAGE of core spun threads (e.g. Saba C) compared to spun threads • Less knots and thick places in the sewing thread • Less problems with thread breakages • Each thread breakage means • less efficiency (average time loss for each thread breakage: 1 min) • suffering quality (there should be no seam beginning in decorative seams) • Less problems with needle breakages • Each needle breakage means • less efficiency (average time loss for each needle breakage: 5 min) • Damages in material: In case of a needle breakage the machines are still sewing with the needle already broken – means there will be wholes in the fabric – could mean – the half finished garment goes into waist AMANN GROUP 2010

10. The difference of core spun thread Spun thread • Universal usage of the Saba – Product – Range (Ticket No. 30 to 150) • Application on all fast running high speed sewing machines, multidirectional sewing units, automated sewing machines (e.g.buttonhole machines) – and all types of garments (sports wear, lingery, ladies wear, men´s wear, home textiles…..)
