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.
