Stitched fabric has drawn increasing attention as reinforcing materials
for high performance composites due to the integrity and wide variety in
them. It is lightweight, strong, tough and flexible. It has permeability
property of its interbundle channels, even if stitch size is relatively
small. The effect of the stitches is different for different stitch size, off-center position, slope, array, distribution density, and also the average darcy velocity in the fiber bundles. The stitched fabric process is known as "tackle twill". It produces more vivid colors and it is much more durable.
