Abstract: A fine-denier polyamide/cotton/spandex bi-stretch fabric was developed based on floats. The issues of fabric bind hemming, surface hairiness, and elasticity enhancement were discussed. After testing, fabric organization design and on-machine process optimization can resolve fabric bind hemming, while a combination of light singeing and light setting processes effectively manage surface hairiness and maintain elasticity. All the indices of the developed fabrics meet standard requirements, and they offer good wearability and functionality.
