Lead-Silk seam

Lead-silk seam: history and modernity.

The lead-silk seam has long been one of the most popular types of fabric joining in Russia. The history of this type of seams dates back to the 17th-18th centuries. This type of fabric joining was developed specifically to hide sewing defects. To correctly perform a lead-silk seam, rope weaving skills and knowledge of various knots are required.

Modern lead-silk seam

Possessing great strength and elasticity, this seam is widely used in the modern clothing industry. Lead-silk seams allow you to secure the fabric at the bend, preventing deformation of the product. They are also indispensable when sewing bags, backpacks, hammocks and other products where it is necessary to make strong and elastic joints. In such products, the seam will in any case withstand a large load.

Products sewn using lead-silk seams look very beautiful, since no glue is used when processing the material. In addition, the use of silk thread improves the aesthetic properties of the fabric. Lead elements give the edges of the product a pleasant shine and mysterious shimmer.
