Shaoxing Mujia Textile Co., Ltd. publishes stitch density bands for its eleven cotton eyelet designs, because the ring must be stitched before the hole is cut. The qualities run 100-130 GSM (grams per sq metre) at 135 cm, 300 m minimum per design.

Zhuji, China – November 12, 2026 – Shaoxing Mujia Textile has published the stitch density bands behind its eleven eyelet designs, on the argument that the order of two operations decides whether an eyelet survives the first wash: the ring of satin stitch, a close parallel stitch that builds a raised band, is laid around the future hole first, and only then is the centre cut away.

The order is not a detail. If the hole is cut first and stitched after, the edge is raw, the yarns are unanchored, and the first wash frays them. The difference is invisible on the sample table and obvious after one wash, which is why a wash test on the strike-off is used to catch it.

Two numbers decide an eyelet, and neither is the weight. Hole diameter sets the construction. A small hole is a heavy satin dot with a centre cut out of it. A large hole is an open ring that needs a stabiliser to keep its shape once the cloth starts moving. The crossover sits around one centimetre: below it the stitching does the work, above it the cloth does.

Stitch density is the number that is rarely quoted. It is measured in stitches per centimetre of circumference around the ring. Too few and the ring is thin, so the hole edge frays through. Too many and the ring becomes a hard disc that puckers the surrounding cloth.

The two are linked, and that link is where designs fail. A 12 mm hole needs more stitches to hold its circumference than a 3 mm one, but the density, stitches per centimetre of circumference, should stay in a similar band, and the file is where that band is set.

Shaoxing Mujia Textile produces to the customer’s file specifications. If the file specifies a 12 mm hole at a density that suits a 6 mm hole, the sample will look correct on the table and the bulk will fray in the wash. The only place to catch it is the strike-off, the trial run made before bulk.

The programme runs eleven designs, E-01 through E-11: four full-density all-over designs and seven open, sparser motifs. The fabric is 100% cotton, 100-130 GSM (grams per square metre), 135 cm wide, with a minimum order of 300 m per design and a running lead time of about 10 days. The eleven designs are those currently cut and photographed; further motifs can be added. A new motif is a new plate, which is a cost and a lead time rather than a refusal.

“The density is in the file, so the mill can only run what the file says,” says Emily Zhou, founder and director of Shaoxing Mujia Textile Co., Ltd. “The buyer who asks for the density number before approving is the one who does not get a bulk problem.”

Weight sits in a narrow band for a reason: 100-130 GSM is the working range. Below 100 the ground cloth is too light to carry a large ring without distorting. Above 130 the cloth stops reading as broderie anglaise, the English eyelet embroidery, and starts reading as heavy lace. Childrenswear usually sits at the lower end, 100-110 GSM, because the cloth has to drape on a small body. Womenswear blouses work better at 115-125, because the ring holds its shape through a shoulder seam.

Three things show up on a washed strike-off. The hole edge is the first: a sound eyelet keeps a clean, slightly rounded edge, and a weak one shows fibre ends lifting out of the ring. The second is the shape of the hole under tension along the weft, where a ring that is under-stitched deforms into an oval before the surrounding cloth does. The third is the grid: even holes read as a regular pattern of brightness, and one dim hole in a row means the cut did not clear.

The mill weaves the ground cloth in Fengqiao, Zhuji, on 30 Lenado air-jet looms, which carry the weft across on a jet of air, in a 5,000 square metre shed, about five million metres a year, since 2012. The embroidery runs at a partner mill, and the company says so: it weaves and holds the strike-off approval between the buyer and the embroiderer, which is why it can give the stitch density of a specific design rather than quoting a range. The same applies to dyeing, which also runs at partner mills.

The company does not print an infant certification claim. Where a market requires one, the certificate holder’s name and number are provided so the buyer can verify it directly.
