6. Test Specimens
6.1 Replicate sets (two sets each for laundering and drycleaning) of simulated pant leg specimens prepared as follows.
6.2 Cut one front and one back panel for each simulated pant leg required. with the longer 600 mm (23.5 in.) dimension in the fabric length direction.Place a front panel over a back panel with the face sides together and align the lengthwise cut edges on one side. Stitch the two panels together about 16 mm (0.625 in.) in from the cut edges. along with 6(X) mm (23.5 in.) length. using the 301 stitch, (X)-3 cord sewing thread and 8-10 stitches per 25 mm (1.0 in.). Next. align the opposite lengthwise cut edges and stitch together in the same manner as above.
Turn the tubular specimen inside out so that the face side is on the outside.
For pant leg specimens without culTs. turn in the top and bottom edges to form 5 1-mm (2-in.) hems and stitch in position abou 6 mm (0.25 in.) from the raw edges. Be sure to burst open the side seams (no pressing) before stitching in these areas.
The patterns fbr the simulated pant leg allow br a cuff at the bottom end. For a cuffed leg, turn in and stitch the top hem a.s above. At the bottom, turn in a 76 mm (3-in.) length and stitch as above, then turn up the hem to make a 38 mm (1.5 in.) cuff and tack at both side seams.
NOTE 1 —Separate test specimens are required for washing and drycleaning.
NOTE 2 —Normally creases are not pressed in simulated pant leg specimens made from flocked fabrics. However, if pressed-in creases are desired in flocked fabric specimens, the pressing procedure used should he representative of that used by commercial manufacturers.
Test Conditions, and one of the applica-ble wash temperatures for the washing machine selected, as shown in M6 (see www.aatcc.org for latest version of the monograph). At the completion of the drying cycle, remove the load from the dryer and separate the pieces.AATCC 142 pdf download.
