Woven polyester edges can unravel when the cut releases yarn ends from a low-friction or relatively open construction. Fabric strength in a tensile test does not describe how quickly those ends escape during handling and sewing.

A smooth polyester lining can help a jacket, skirt or uniform slide over an inner garment. Yet too much slipperiness, static accumulation, seam drag or poor moisture handling may reduce comfort. Evaluate the lining as part of the garment system.

Polyester mesh can be woven from monofilament yarns—single continuous strands—or multifilament yarns made from bundles of fine filaments. Their surface characteristics, softness, aperture stability and cleaning behaviour differ, but performance also depends on weave and finishing.

After a polyester sublimation transfer, some visible image may remain on the paper. That alone does not establish a defective print. Poor transfer yield must be evaluated using the final fabric shade and repeatable comparisons of paper, ink, contact and press settings.

Printed polyester can develop set-off when the decorated face contacts another fabric layer before the ink or finish is sufficiently cured, dry or stable. Heat, winding pressure and long storage may make the defect appear only after the roll is opened.

Hot-knife cutting can seal loose polyester filaments at a webbing cut edge, but excessive heat may leave a stiff, glossy or brittle zone. The cut method needs to be qualified for the actual strap, not accepted on appearance alone.
