What is fabric cutting? // Requirements of fabric cutting//

Fabric cutting:

Cutting means to cut out the garments pieces from lays of the fabric with the help of cutting template or marker. At a present, the use of the term cut can difficulty. It is used in the sense  of cutting room, an area which normally includes the activities of marker planning, spreading and preparation for sewing.

     Requirements of fabric cutting:

             In achieving this objective, certain requirements must be fulfilled:

                1.      Precision of cut

                2.      Clean edges

                3.      Unfused edges

                4.      Support of the lay

                5.      Consistent cutting

1.      Precision of cut:

Garments can not be assembled satisfactorily and they may not fit the body correctly if they have not been cut accurately to the pattern shape.

                        Its depends upon some factors;

                           The method of cutting employed

·                                             The market planner

·                                              Marker making

·                                             Skill ness of the opeartpor

2.      Clean edges:

  The raw edge of the fabric should not show fraying or snagging. To get this knif blade must be well   sharpended.

3.      Unfused edges:

  The build-up of heat in the knife blade comes from the friction of the blade passing through the      fabric. This, in extreme, leads to scorching of the fusing of the raw edges of thermoplastic fibre    fabrics such as polyamide and polyester.

  Remedy:

·       Use anti-friction paper between the layers

·       Showing down cutting speed

·       Use well-sharpened blade

4.      Support of the lay:

The cutting system must provide the means not only to support the fabric, but also to allow the blade to penetrate the lowest ply of a spread and sever all the fibers.  Polyethyene sheet is kept over table and gum tape is used to fix it.

5.      Consistent cutting:

To get the consistency of cutting, all plies are clamped tightly to the table so that all pieces are cut some pressure of plies occur.

           

Causes:

            Knife setting

             Skillness of operator

Remedy :

                Knife setting will be 90 angle
          Needs skill operator
