What does the measuring department determine?

• The fabric color for each style

• The fabric yardage needed for each style and size of garment

• The number of machines required for manufacturing

• The sewing techniques to be used

What is the main purpose of the computer software in the fabric measuring process?

• To automate the cutting process

• To create the optimum fabric layout for efficient fabric use

• To design the garment

• To operate the sewing machines

How are markers attached to the fabric?

• With sewing machines

• By hand stitching

• With adhesive stripping or staples

• Using computerized sensors

What is the role of the markers in the cutting process?

• To color the fabric

• To prevent fabric waste during cutting

• To sew the fabric pieces together

• To measure the thickness of the fabric

What is the purpose of fabric spreading?

• To lay out fabric pieces for cutting

• To ensure proper color distribution

• To measure fabric width

• To sew multiple fabric layers together

What type of machines can be used for cutting fabric?

• Hand saws

• Band cutters, rotary blades, and reciprocal blades

• Laser cutters and 3D printers

• Fabric sewing machines

What does the sorter do in the sorting/bundling process?

• Colors the fabric

• Sorts the patterns according to size and design, and makes bundles of them

• Stitches the bundles together

• Assembles finished garments

Why is precision important in the bundling step?

• Because mismatched bundles can create severe problems

• To ensure even fabric thickness

• To enhance fabric color quality

• To speed up the sewing process

What happens at the sewing stations?

• Fabrics are dyed in various colors

• Different operators perform specific sewing tasks to assemble the garment

• Machines cut fabric into pieces

• Fabric is washed and dried

How do some sewing machines work during the assembling process?

• They sew garments automatically without any operator

• They work sequentially, feeding finished steps into the next machine

• They perform multiple tasks at once

• They only make buttonholes and sleeve insets
