Defects
,Foreword
The preparation of this catalogue has been quite interesting. It gave me the opportunity
to talk to various people selling textile products at retail outlets, vendors, tailors, friends
and family members and realize their perspective of textiles.
Shop owners at Zainab Market and Rex Centre were extremely cooperative and showed
enormous patience. Also helpful were various other tailors and sales personnel dealing
in different textile products mainly in the areas of Clifton and Defence. My conversations
with them provided a lot of information based on experience and common sense.
Friends and family members apart from being sources of defects also viewed my work
from time to time. Their comments helped me better understand how to present my
defects in the most effective manner and developing the classification system of the
assignment (See section 2).
Also faculty at TIP provided help wherever possible with valuable comments which
further helped me classify certain defects.
, 1 Preface
This assignment is a collection of defects that occur in textile processing. Initially we
were asked to collect 4 defects originating from each of the following stages of
processing.
1. Ginning
2. Spinning
3. Cutting
4. Weaving/ Knitting
5. Pretreatment
6. Dyeing/Printing
7. Finishing
8. Stitching
The assignment date was eventually extended and we were told that defects could be
picked from any stage of processing with a minimum of 32 defects.
The defects presented are from a vast range of processing. Some additional defects
showing mistreatment of products have also been included.
One major problem faced during this assignment was the fact that our industries are
very secretive about their operations. Students were not allowed to take cameras inside
units with or without references. Shopkeepers in various markets were generally helpful.
During my hunt for defects I came across one shopkeeper who screen printed T-shirts
himself and sold them at a retail outlet. This gentleman did not allow me to take
photographs of some of the defected articles at his shop even though the work he was
performing was not rocket science and commonly practiced.
It must be noted that it is extremely difficult to identify the exact stage of processing
which causes a defect. Some of the defects therefore, based on suspected stage of
cause have been assigned multiple categories (see defect no. 3.39) while some are
classified as subclasses of certain process (see defect no. 3.47). Issues with
identification have been further addressed in section 2.1.2.
