Garment method for making garment

Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention provide a system and device for making garment. One embodiment, for example, includes a system that comprises a processing device and a sewing module that sews garment material to facilitate making the garment. The system further comprises memory that includes a thread count manager having instructions stored in the memory. The instructions are executed by the processing device and include logic configured to instruct the sewing module to sew the garment material based on counting threads of the garment material rather than using the geometric shape of pieces of garment material.

         27 . The garment prepared by the process as defined in  claim 24 , further comprising the step of describing the orientation of the edge of the garment material by the orientation in the warp or fill direction as the edge of the garment material is traversed. 
     
     
         28 . The garment prepared by the process as defined in  claim 24 , further comprising the step of counting threads of the woven material based on warp and fill when weaving in a loom, the warp being in the machine direction and fill being in the cross direction. 
     
     
         29 . The garment prepared by the process as defined in  claim 24 , further comprising the step of counting threads of a knit material based on the formations used in the woven material. 
     
     
         30 . The garment prepared by the process as defined in  claim 24 , further comprising the step of describing the geometry of the garment material by counts in a manner where the perimeter of the garment material is in a closed loop, the perimeter of the garment material being mathematically described as a closed shape by way of a two or three dimensional array of thread counts including orientation. 
     
     
         31 . The garment prepared by the process as defined in  claim 24 , further comprising the step of instructing the sewing module by the instructions comprising logic to sew the garment material based on the orientation of the threads. 
     
     
         32 . The garment prepared by the process as defined in  claim 23 , further comprising the steps of:
 counting threads of a cut piece after cutting the garment material; and   using the thread count by the sewing module to configure sewing of two or more pieces together based on at least one of the following: a calculated sequence of thread counts and the orientation of threads for both parts resulting in a sewn garment.   
     
     
         33 . The garment prepared by the process as defined in  claim 23 , wherein the step of sewing by the sewing module further comprising sewing the perimeter or markings on the garment material based on at least one of the following: tracking a pattern that amounts to following a predetermined sequence of thread counts and the orientation of threads. 
     
     
         34 . The garment prepared by the process as defined in  claim 23 , wherein the step of sewing by the sewing module further comprising sewing two or more pieces of material together based on at least one of the following: a predetermined sequence of thread counts and the orientation of threads for both parts, resulting in a sewn garment. 
     
     
         35 . A garment prepared by a process comprising the steps of:
 storing a thread count manager in memory, the thread count manager having instructions;   executing the instructions of the thread count manager by a processing device;   instructing a cutting module by the instructions to cut garment material; and   cutting the garment materials by the cutting module based on the instructions comprising logic to cut the garment material based on counting threads of the garment material.   
     
     
         36 . The garment prepared by the process as defined in  claim 35 , wherein the step of cutting the garment by the cutting module further comprises cutting the garment material into discrete pieces based on the geometry of the garment material that is described by counts in a manner where the perimeter of the garment material is in a closed loop, the perimeter of the garment material being mathematically described as a closed shape by way of a two or three dimensional array. 
     
     
         37 . The garment prepared by the process as defined in  claim 35 , further comprising the step of inspecting the garment material by a vision module for defects during the cutting of the garment material. 
     
     
         38 . The garment prepared by the process as defined in  claim 35 , further comprising the step of marking the cut material as part of the cutting process so as to facilitate subsequent sewing or cutting operations, or both. 
     
     
         39 . The garment prepared by the process as defined in claim  16 , further comprising applying the mark on the cut material by a printing process, which includes ink jet or contact device. 
     
     
         40 . The garment prepared by the process as defined in claim  17 , further comprising applying the mark on the cut material by a distinctive cut out of the garment material at an edge or in the interior. 
     
     
         41 . A garment prepared by a process comprising the steps of:
 storing a thread count manager in memory, the thread count manager having instructions;   executing the instructions of the thread count manager by a processing device;   instructing a sewing module and a cutting module by the instructions to sew and cut garment material, respectively, which facilitate making the garment; and   sewing and cutting the garment materials by the respective sewing module and the cutting module based on the instructions comprising logic to sew and cut the garment material, respectively, based on counting threads of the garment material.
