Description
**Spreading (Preparation)** Involves laying fabric in multiple layers (plies) onto a long table, aligning the selvages (edges) to ensure precision and avoid waste.
* **Alignment and Tension:** The fabric must be stretched without excessive tension to prevent deformation or shrinkage after cutting.
* **Pairs (or Face-to-Face):** Plies are stacked with right side to right side or wrong side to wrong side.
* **Odd (or One-Way):** All plies are placed with the same side facing up.
* **Resting:** Knitted fabrics, especially, require a "resting" period on the table after spreading to relax the fibers.
* **Defect Marking:** The operator must mark possible fabric defects so they are excluded from cut pieces.
* **Marker Making (Nesting)**
* Marker making is the drawing of patterns onto the topmost fabric layer (or onto paper placed over it), aiming for maximum material utilization.
* **Smart Nesting:** Positioning patterns to minimize scraps (leftovers).
* **Grain Direction:** Respect the fabric's grain direction (vertical or horizontal) indicated on the patterns.
* **Cutting**
* Using manual or automatic tools to cut all fabric layers simultaneously, following the marker lines.
* **Machines Used:** Vertical cutter (straight knife), circular cutter, band knife, or automated cutting tables (CAM/Laser).
* **Organization:** After cutting, pieces are sorted by size, color, and style for delivery to the sewing department.
