After completing the fabric spreading then the fabric cutting is started. To cut out pattern pieces of garment components as per exact dimension of the patterns from a fabric lay is called fabric cutting. The term fabric cutting is only applicable for garments manufacturing technology. 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 ness of operator, and attentiveness of operator. Computer controlled cutting and die cutting have their self cutting accuracy.
During fabric cutting, the friction between the fabric and the blade produces temperature in the blade; the temperature may be up to 300°C. If the fabric contains synthetic fibers, e.g. nylon, polyester, acrylic or their blends, then fused edge may result in the fabric. As because most of those fibers melt at around 250°C. Therefore, sticking of cut edge of fabric will increase the fabric wastage Moreover, the fused edge after cooling will form hard bid, which will be problem of irritation during use of garments.
