The aim of the present work is to investigate the influence of finishing products on sewing needle penetration force. For this purpose, only concentration of chemical product was varied, three different concentrations of each chemical additive were used. Fabric’s characteristics (weight, weave, density, composition and thickness), needle properties (size, shape and metal) and the speed of needle penetration were conserved for all treatment. Various treatments were applied such as mercerizing, water proofing, wrinkling treatment, stiffening and softening. Many encouraging results were established. Thus, needle penetration decreased when using products improving threads movement for instance the softening products. Finishing fabric with 35g.L-1 of softening resin decreases needle penetration force by 27% compared to untreated fabric. However, it rose when making films on the fabric surface for example the waterproofing treatment.
