REQUIREMENTS FOR FABRIC CUTTING The following points must be fulfilled in fabric cutting: 1. Precision of fabric cuttin ! Fabric cutting should be done accurately as per exact dimension of the pattern pieces in the marker. Accurate cutting depends on methods of cutting and marker planning. If manual cutting method is used, then cutting accuracy depends on sharpness of knife, skill of operator, and attentiveness of operator. omputer controlled cutting and die cutting have their self cutting accuracy. ". Consistent cuttin ! !hatever be the cutting method used for fabric lay cutting, it should be ensured that the shape of the cut components from top to bottom lay are of exact si"e and shape, otherwise the garments produced will be defective. #. Infuse$ e$ e! #uring fabric cutting, the friction between the fabric and the blade produces temperature in the blade$ the temperature may be up to %&& & . If the fabric contains synthetic fibres e.g. nylon, polyester, acrylic or their blends, then fused edge may result in the fabric. As because most of those fibres melt at around '(&& . Therefore, sticking of cut edge of fabric will increase the fabric wastage. )oreover, the fused edge after cooling will form hard bid, which will be a problem of irritation during use of garments. To avoid the problem of fused edge formation, the following steps may be taken: *. '. %. .. +educe the height of the lay$ +educe the cutting speed$ ,se anti-fusion paper in the lay at regular interval$ /ubricate the knife during cutting.

%. Su&&ortin of t'e (a)! 0urface of the cutting table depends on methods of fabric cutting. The table surface should be capable to support the lay as well as to ensure that all the plies are cut at a time during fabric cutting
