Style characteristics of Organza and polyester FDY fabric after ironing

Types of fabricUn-ironed liningDescriptionIroned liningDescription
40g/m2 organzaIrregular shape; light and soft effectRegular shape; can show the colour of adhesive lining
300g/m2 twill polyesterRelatively regular shape; hierarchical effectRegular shape; sharper creases

Relationship between fabric thickness and folding spacing (example: snake belly origami)

Fabric paper mould sizeInitial fabric 255g/m2DescriptionInitial fabric lined with plain paperDescriptionInitial fabric lined with hard resin liningDescription
Paper mould spacing 6.5cmProper paper mould spacing; creases and stripes match very well; dislocation-freeDistance between paper moulds is appropriate; creases and stripes match well; slight dislocationPaper mould spacing is too small; creases and stripes do not match; there is dislocation
Paper mould spacing 6.8cmPaper mould spacing is too large creases and stripes do not match There is dislocationDistance between paper moulds is appropriate creases and stripes match well Slight dislocationProper paper mould spacing creases and stripes match very well, dislocation-free

Effect comparison of direct folding technique in different fabrics

FabricFolding timeCrease sharpnessEffectConclusion
White cotton cloth34sNot ironed: creases are clear and moulding is stable.After ironing: ironing effect is obvious and creases are clear.Low folding difficulty; moderate thickness of fabric after folding and ironing; shape is easy to fix; very suitable for direct folding when making small units.
Polyester fabric43sNot ironed: creases are clear and moulding is stable.After ironing: ironing effect is obvious and creases are clear.Low folding difficulty; moderate thickness of fabric after folding and ironing; shape is easy to fix; very suitable for direct folding when making small units.
PU coated fabric29sNot ironed: creases are relatively clear and moulding is stable.After ironing: ironing effect is not obvious, and creases are relatively clear.Low folding difficulty; the fabric is still thick after folding and ironing, and it is not easy to fix; more suitable for direct folding when making small units.
Organza79sNot ironed: creases are not clear and moulding is unstable.After ironing: ironing effect is not obvious, and creases are not clear.High folding difficulty; after folding and ironing, the fabric is too thin and the shape is not easy to fix; not suitable for direct folding when making small units.
