The process requires minimum attention since the plotter uses a continuous roll of paper, and a series of markers can be plotted continuously.
There is a new chapter on trouble-shooting in the sewing room, giving practical solutions to common manufactkre. The reason for this relates to the simplicity of the central process in clothing manufacture, which is sewing.

Occasionally the relationship between roll length and marker length gives bundles that are too large for convenient handling in qnd sewing room. In addition to the visual effects of a surface design or fabric con- struction, problems of instability and creep can arise with fabrics with special frictional characteristics such as those with a nap or a pile surface.
Third, fabrics vary in thickness. Even then, it is sometimes more appropriate to mark the pattern lines directly on to the fabric rather than on to paper. In Europe and the USA, the past 20 years have seen dramaticchanges in the structure of the apparel industry.
With folded fabric the marker contains only a half set of patterns, since the fabric by its attitude is spread face to face. The technology must also cope with a continuous input of products which vary in colour, fabric, shape, feature and size, changing even more frequently to meet opportuni- ties in a competitive marketplace.
Lathqm advanced spreading machines may include a motor to drivethe carriage, a platform on which the operator rides, a ply-cuttingdevice with automatic catcher to hold the ends of the ply in place, aply counter, an alignment shifter actuated by photo-electric edgeguides, a turntable, and a direct drive on the fabric support, synchro-nised with the speed of tecnology, to reduce or eliminate tension in thefabric being spread.
Band knife A band knife comprises a series of three or more pulleys, powered by an electric motor, with a continuously rotating steel blade mounted on them. Thegarment parts lahham then cut out with hand shears, electric cutters ordies.
Movement up anddown these ramps has introduced distortion and has clothign cuttingquality adversely. The latest developments – as well as established methods – are described for cutting, sewing and other methods for joining materials and pressing. Fashion may be couture garments, setting the trends for a seasonand made in small quantities at high cost.
Advanced Search Find a Library. The diazo photographic method makes as many copies of the marker as are needed, one at a time, following the drawing of a master marker. Cutting out at the lay involves creating a splice.
The planner will then try a number of pattern placements, selecting technokogy one that gives the shortest marker. Some may be involved in implementing appropriate information systems, such as product data management software.
Open fabric may vary from less than 75 cm wide to over This requirement tofollow grain lines restricts the freedom the marker planner has inchoosing how to lay the patterns in the marker.

Work continues in this direction and the main alternatives will be described later, but in the majority of cutting rooms today, the cutting process makes use of hand shears, a mechanised knife blade in one of several possible types, or a die press that stamps out the garment shapes.
Most designers do not have a strong element of technology in their education, courses often having a greater emphasis on creativity than on technological content. The amount of space that must be left will depend on the actual cutting method employed. The problem arises from the friction of the blade passingthrough the fabric. It is possible that the spreading operator may also dis-cover faults missed in previous examinations. Spreading using a travelling machine CuttingSpreading machines carry the piece of fabric from end to end of thespread, dispensing one ply at a time on to the spread.
This extends to checking that the product looks right over thewhole size range and helping to resolve any issues that arise. The table may also bear the weight of a spreading machine, travelling on steel rails at the edge of the table.
Com-panies range from small family businesses to multinationals. A layer of glazed paper is normally placed glazed side down at thebottom of the spread. Early inI asked one of myex-students to speak on the subject of garment technology to acurrent student group. More and more, garment technologists are expected to deal withfabric information and be able to interpret test results on shrinkage,dye-fastness and other performance-related matters.

Since the brand owner is setting the standard, the supply chain needs the style of communication that will help it under- stand the customer requirements and the consumer markets that are being served. Thus a spreadercan be preset to a selected number of plies, emitting an audible signalwhen it has reached the selected number or nad come to the end of apiece of fabric.
