6. Integrity & Respect
Ethical Guidelines & Code of Conduct for Q.A Auditor
Purpose: To communicate the integrity, objectivity and capability expected from Q.A auditors, as
well as, to provide a means for the Q.A auditors to pledge their commitment to these principles, the
integrity of Q.A Auditors establishes trust and provides the basis for relying on their judgments. Q.A
auditors must be objective in evaluating, auditing and communicating information about the facts
being examined and not be unduly influenced by their interests, or those of others, in making
judgments.
Q.A Auditor Shall:
Perform work with honesty, accuracy, fairness, and responsibility.
Not engage in activities that might discredit the audit profession or organization.
Not join in any activity or relationship that may affect his unbiased assessment.
Not accept anything that may damage, or appear to damage his judgments.
Not represent any interest that conflict or compete with the auditor's own interests or that
of his associates.
Not accept any bribe, commission, inducement, gift or benefits.
Report to management, if facing any conflict/ attitude problem from the person of any other
department.

Report any complaint to his senior staff.
Act professionally, accurately and in an unbiased manner.
Continually improve the proficiency, quality and value of audit services.
Fully develop all professional competencies necessary to carry out tasks as an auditor.
WHAT IS QUALITY?
Standard achieved by process controlling to provide defect free product to the customer.
A measure of excellence or a state of being free from defects, deficiencies and significant variations.
Quality is usually perceived as the applications ability to fulfill the reasonable requirements and needs
set by the developer or the end user.
ELEMENTS OF QUALITY
1. Performance means Color Fastness / Pilling Resistant / Minimum Shrinkage / Color Bleeding
Resistant / Moisture Absorbency & Quick Drying / Assures Comfort / Collar Rolling up
Elimination.
7
2. Features mean prominent parts of quality.
3. Reliability means trust & confidence of customer.
4. Conformance means Certification / Confirmation that goods / services meet the requirements of
legislation, accepted practices, prescribed rules & regulations, specified standards & terms of a
contract.
5. Durability means time period of usage without any problem.
6. Serviceability means service rendered without affecting any of the mentioned factors.
7. Perceived means understanding customer requirements.
8. Aesthetics means The Art / Design / Fashion / Style.
When the above eight elements are fulfilled in an excellent way, then we can say that our product is up-
to the standards required by the customer. Any failure in full or part of the above will be of poor quality.
Hence we can say that the above eight elements are the standards that we should meet to satisfy the
customer.
WHAT IS QUALITY CONTROL?
Quality control is a process that is used to ensure a certain level of quality in a product or service.
The ISO definition states that Quality Controlis the operational techniques & activities that are used to
fulfill requirements for quality.
Q.C Systems
1. Feeding / Loading System
In the process of feeding / loading, the feeder or loader should ensure that the sequence of cut
parts in the bundles is not disturbed.
At the time of feeding / loading, any conspicuous defect should be returned or replaced with
part of same shade.
The feeding / loading quantity should be counted and ensured that it is correct according to
quantity mentioned at barcode of the bundle.
2. 7-0 System (Seven-Zero System)
3. Traffic Light Control System
4. 5 Part Ticket System
5. On the Spot Defect Recovery System
All above mentioned systems (7-0 system, Traffic Light Control System, 5 Part Ticket System &
On the Spot Defect Recovery System) work together at the time of implementation.
All machines will have green flags at starting time.
The rowing Q.C or Q.C inspector should randomly select seven pieces from each bundle, of all
operations.
The 7 pieces should pass at (0) zero defects. If a single defect is found, the total bundle fails
(Rejected).
Then the green flag at machine will be replaced by Q.C inspector with a yellow flag. The first part
of 5 part ticket is issued to the machine operator one at this time.
Operator who stitched the bundle will have to inspect the full bundle for faults in his operation &
rectify defects immediately (on the spot) up to specification or replace the defective pieces with
whatever appropriate.
If the rowing Q.C or Q.C inspector identifies the same mistake for second time (in same
operator) then the yellow flag is replaced with red flag & second part of 5 part ticket is issued.
The operator has to fallow the same procedure as before. Now the rowing Q.C or Q.C inspector
will do a follow up inspection of 3 consecutive bundles of the same operator, by issuing the
balance 3 follow up tickets (one at a time).If the 3 follow up inspection results passes, then green
flag is re-installed. If any of the follow up inspection results fails, then 3 follow up re-starts from
that point.
8
The rowing Q.C or Q.C inspector should inspect critical operations every hour. Other operations
could be confined to an inspection of once, twice or thrice according to the criticality of faults.
7. Inspection of Every 5
th
Piece By Machine Operator
The operator should inspect his operation, on every 5
th
piece to determine any faulty during
stitching.
8. End line Inspection (100% Inside-Out)
All pieces that complete all operation should be checked inside out by end line inspectors.
9. Clipping Inspection
Clipping (Trimming of Thread) should be inspected for broken stitches, hang threads & clipper
cuts. This is a 100% inspection.
10. Pressing Inspection
Pressing tables should be marked with length and width of all sizes of garments according to
buyers specifications.
Pressing Inspection is done to evaluate.
(a) Correctness of Shape of Neck / Shoulder / Sleeve / Side Seam / Bottom Hem in Uppers /
Tops & Shape of Waist / Side Seam / Inseam / Leg Opening in Bottoms.
(b) No Shine Marks / Crease Marks on seams.
(c) No Excessive moisture by steam.
(d) No Color Fading.
(e) No Dust Marks / Stain Marks / Oil Marks.
(f) Pressing as required.
10. Final Inspection
Final inspection should inspect 100% garments to filter any defect / fault passed by previous
practices.
This inspection should verify trims and accessories used.
Any defect identified should be addressed immediately (A recovery of the defect or replacement
for rejection should be done).
Inspection is conducted to evaluate the first passed yield (FPY).That is the first time pass
percentage on an hourly basis.
The defects identified are segregated into 3 main categories.
(a) Rafu / Mending
(b) Stain
(c) Repairing (Alteration)
A) Rafu / Mending: - Rafu is minor fabric faults which are mend able.
Very Important Factors
Visible darning is not acceptable.
Operational darning could be accepted. If it is not conspicuous / visible.
Any fabric fault mended by knitting needle (Knitted) and not prominent to the naked eye, could be
accepted.
Any defect that is not according to the above factors should be discarded as totally rejected items.
B) Stain: - If any Dust spot, Oil Spot or any other stain spot could be removed by either stain
removers or light washing without affecting the Color, Appearance, Hand Feel, & Specs could be
accepted.
Any slight patch dispersed as a result of the above process, should be discarded as a reject.
C) Repairing (Alteration): - If any sewing defect could be recovered by re-work, without effecting
seams or body quality standards, it is acceptable.
9
If the rework results are miss-shape, specs variation, miss alignment, or any other defect, then
product should be discarded as reject.
Any garment having uncut / loose threads should not be moved to packing area.
11. Measurement Audit
100% of garments should undergo critical specs inspection. (for Tops-Body length, Chest, Sleeve
length, neck, armhole & shoulder) (For Bottoms-Side seam, inseam, waist and leg opening).
All other measurements as defined by the particular buyer should undergo for random
measurement audit as per requirement.
Any garment that is not within the specified tolerance limit should be discarded as fault.
Please note this does not mean that all garments should be within tolerance. This tolerance limit is
allowed to accommodate any human error which rarely occurs.
12. Folding & Presentation (or Hanger Pack)
The inspector should ensure that there is no dust, fluff or loose thread inside of the packaging
area. Appearance should be attractive and eye catching.
The folding should be even and balanced & according to the specifications.
The accuracy in the position of label, accurate shape after folding, not looking miss-aligned after
folding and all other factors pertaining to folding should be given extra care.
Accuracy of labels, stickers, tags or any other attachments should be ensured.
Accuracy of measurements, marks, numbers, sealing & opening of the poly bag should be ensured.
Accuracy of size and sticker or any other accessories on poly bag should be ensured.
Accuracy of hangers and size stickers, size of hanger, quality of hangers, printing, stamp,
alignment & packing performance should be ensured.
13. Packing Inspection
Please note that there is zero tolerance for any packing error. Packing should be 100% accurate.
Accurate quantity in cartons should be ensured.
Accurate size garments in cartons should be ensured.
Accuracy of pre-packs, ratio packs, catalogue packs, mix packs (if allowed) should be ensured.
Accurate P.O # & Style # should be ensured.
Accurate assortments should be ensured.
Carton dimensions, carton marks & numbers, carton quality, no of plies, shade, sealing ability,
hanger packing...etc. should be ensured.
Ensure that security slip is pasted (if required) while sealing carton with inspector signature, Id
number, unit number, and P.O code.
Ensure that carton tape/ adhesive tape/ gum tape / sealing tape adhere properly to cartons
without bubbling or cracking.
Ensure that cartons look attractive, clean, without bulking, un-smashed, without damage, without
excessive carton tape protruding at the corners and stackable without disturbance.
Ensure the accuracy of carton stickers (ASN, MCL,OCR, etc) and undamaged stickers are fixed.
WHAT IS QUALITY ASSUARANCE?
Preventive action taken to eliminate defect.
It indicates the development of controls to ensure a quality system or
Preventive measures taken to ensure the quality of both product & quality system.
Quality Assuranceis the process of determining whether products meet customers requirements.
Role of Quality Assurance Department
Implementation & Monitoring Quality Systems
To update the quality manual with updated quality standards, systems & procedures.
To develop SOP and working guidelines to Q.A staff.
10
The Q.A department is required to induce the Q.C dept. to implement standard quality systems
required by the customers to improve and maintain required OQL.
The implemented quality system should be monitored on daily basis so that the system runs
without any stoppage.
The quality system should be very strong so that nothing could penetrate through & result in
failure of audits or rescreening.
Training & Evaluation of Quality Staff
It is the prime responsibility of the senior quality staff to train all the Q.A staff to achieve skilled
levels within a short frame of time.
The Q.A dept. in coordination with the production dept. and Q.C dept. should train the Q.C team
to achieve skilled levels.
A training program should be designed which will enable to execute simple and proper training
to enhance the skill levels of Q.C & Q.A staff up to standard.
The Q.A department will evaluate all the inline and final quality control inspectors on their
performance.
The evaluation will be based on the Overall Quality Level (less than 4 %) for any merit or
reward systems.
Assuring Quality of Products
Through accessory audits
Through Inline inspectors evaluation / inline audits at inline findings.
Through final inspectors evaluations on daily basis by Q.A batch auditor.
Through 100 % batch wise audit of finished goods before packing. The audit will be conducted at
A.Q.L 1.5. FPY (First Pass Yield) is also calculated at this stage along with OQL%.
Through internal audits (Packing & Quality) of packed goods at AQL 1.5 by Q.A final auditor.
Through units evaluation (by Q.A management staff).
WHAT IS DIFFERENCE BETWEEN QA & QC?
Quality Assurance is process & system oriented & focuses on defect prevention; while Quality
Control is product oriented and focuses on defect identification.
WHAT IS AQL (Acceptable Quality Level)?
Probability of acceptance.
This is the degree to which defect can be accepted in a shipment (or shipped). This describes a level of
acceptance of defects in a shipment.
An acceptable quality level is an inspection standard describing the maximum number of defects that
could be considered acceptable during the random sampling of an inspection.
CLASSIFICATION OF DEFECTS / FAULTS
The defects can be classified into three below categories.
Critical Defects / Faults
A defect that is likely to result in a hazardous or unsafe condition. This type of defect results in
rejection. Critical defects cannot be shipped under any circumstances.
For examples, sharp edges on glass items or metal items, labels which violates legal requirements.
Major Defects / Faults
A serious defect affecting appearance, performance or durability to such a degree that the customer
would not buy the item if they saw the defect or the defect will result in dissatisfaction when used
under normal conditions.
Minor Defects / Faults
Minor defects do not affect the product's marketability or usability, but represent workmanship
defects that make the product fall short of defined quality standards.
WHAT IS OQL (Overall Quality Level)?
11
Percentage of occurrence.
This describes the actual occurrence of defects in process.
WHAT IS AUDIT?
The general definition of an audit is an evaluation of a person, organization, system, process, project or
product. Audits are performed to determine the validity and reliability of information & also to provide
an assessment of a system's internal control.
It is defined as the random inspection of the population according to given standards.
1. Review
2. Inspect
3. Assessment
4. Exam
(Random Inspection)
FINAL STATISTICAL AUDITING
1. It enables the supplier to evaluate his product in process controls.
2. It is the suppliers last chance to find problems before shipping.
3. It provides the supplier with information on his out going quality level.
4. It enables supplier to maintain OQL at certain level.
5. It enables supplier to take corrective action to produce quality product.
WHAT IS DEFECT?
1. Defects are prominent.
2. Affect the sale-ability of a product.
3. Affect the desirability/ durability/ serviceability of a product.
4. Significantly different from the specification of the product.
HOW TO IDENTIFY A DEFECT AND CORRECTIVE ACTION (CLCA Close Loop Corrective Action)
INSPECTION LEVEL
Concentration of eyes hands & minds to focus on the area of inspection. This will yield an optimum
inspection level where no defect will penetrate through.
GENERAL GUIDE LINES FOR INSPECTION
Identifying a defect depends upon the amount of inspector, focusing or concentrating on the
area of inspection.
The level of inspection or the skill level of the inspector totally depends on his amount of
concentration.
The level of inspection can be either 100% or 0%.There is nothing in-between.
If the inspector identifies all defects, his inspection level is 100% that means his level of
concentration is very good.
12
If an inspector misses even one defect, his inspection level is 0% that means his level of
concentration is poor.
FACTORS INVOLVED IN LEVEL OF CONCENTRATION
The following are the four major factors which are involved in level of concentration.
(a) Hands
(b) Eyes
(c) Mind
(d) Environment
(1) All these factors should be focused at the same time in the same area of inspection to
obtain best results.
(2) If the eyes and both hands are focused, but the mind is not, then there is possibility to pass
mistakes.
(3) Similarly if only one hand is used and the other doing some other work, mistakes are possible.
(4) Same way if eyes are not focused but the hands are moving, again mistakes are
Over sighted.
(5) If during inspection extra person gathered there is possibility to pass mistakes.
INSPECTION SEQUENCE
(1) To avoid missing of any operation during inspection, it is ideal to follow sequence
In inspection.
(2) Usually recommended sequence for apparels inspection is clock wise sequence or
Clock wise inspection.

Stages of Garment Manufacturing Process
What Is Ginning?
It is a process in which cotton lint and other contaminations in the cotton are eliminated. Purified
cotton is compacted to bales for commercial use.
What Is Spinning?
It is combination of all processes which are involved in conversion of fiber into yarn. In textile when we
say spinning then we mean to say about the final process in the transformation of fiber into yarn.
Mixing: Mixing of different lots of cotton.
Blowing: Input is mixed cotton & output is Lap, like a sheet of paper rolled over a steel rod.
Carding: Input for carding is lap which is obtained from blowing section & out put is Sliver, like
rope.
Drawing: Drawing is a process in which different slivers are combined together to produce
single sliver. Normally 8 slivers are feeded behind one drawing machine and get an end product
in form of single sliver.
Combing: If fine yarn is required then this process is added.
Simplex: Sliver obtained from Drawing is input of simplex machine while Roving is its end
product. Roving is a big bobbin having refined sliver but thin and slim than sliver.
21
Ring: In this section roving from simplex section is turned into fine & sophisticated yarn of
different counts.
What Is Count?
Count is the fineness of yarn. Number of hanks per pound is called count (one hank is equal to 840
yards). We may say that if one pound cotton makes one hank count will be 1. If same weight of cotton
makes 10 hanks then count will be 10 and if it makes 20 hanks then count will be 20. Count can be
measured by given formula,
Count = length in hanks/ Weight in pound.
Single yarn having 20 count can be written as 20/ 1, if 20/ 2 it means 20 double, if 20/ 3, 20/ 4, 20/ 5 it
means count 20 is three ply, four ply, or five ply etc.
Count always irreversibly proportion to diameter. If count is fine e.g. 20 or 22 yarn will be fine and thin.
If count is coarser e.g. 12 or 10 then yarn will be thick. The woven or knitted fabric with higher count
will be fine and smooth but it may not be durable.
Different Counts of Yarn
10 Single 22 Single 32 Single
12 Single 24 Single 36 Single
16 Single 26 Single 40 Single
20 Single 30 Single 50 Single
Counts from 10 single to 16 single are coarser, from 20 single to 30 single are medium and from 32
single to 50 single and upwards are fine.
What Is Knitting?
It is a process of making fabric by interloping one or more yarns, instead of two sets of yarns crossing
each other in weaving. Tubular machines are used for knitting. Machine gauge and setting will be
different for the different fabric types.
Types of Knitting:
Flat Knitting
Circular Knitting
Types of Knitting Machines:
Single Knit
Double Knit
What Is Dyeing?
It is the process of coloring the fabric according to the required color and shades through different
processes in different stages such as,
Singeing
De-sizing
Scouring
Bleaching
Mercerization
Types of Dyes:
Direct Dyes
Reactive Dyes
Disperse Dyes
Sulpher Dyes
Vat Dyes
Fabric Finishing
22
In this process, fabric is treated with some mechanical or chemical process before or after dyeing or
printing to give the fabric a fancy/ novelty touch to make it more durable, flexible, soft and good in
appearance & handling.
Cutting is the process of converting fabric into sew-able cut parts. It consists of following processes
Getting the fabric: Issuance from fabric store.
Spreading: Manually or through computerized spreading machine.
Pattern marking: Manually or through computerized GGT pattern making.
Cutting: Hand cutters or with modern automatic cutters.
Bundling: All cut part according to roll or lot.
Sewing is the process of converting fabric cut parts into garment with the help of different machines
according to the specified seam classes and stitch types.
Finishing in this process stitched garments are inspected for further purification of defects occurred in
the sewing process.
Packing is the stage in which finished garments (after finishing) are packed according to the buyers
requirement using different packing accessories and different quantities in the carton.
Internal Audit-External (Buyers) is the stage of random inspection of the finished packed goods ready
for shipment either by internal Q.A (pre-final or final) or by the buyers auditors or third party
inspector in case of any ambiguity.
Shipment Move if OK Otherwise Re-Screen If the shipment is ok then it is moved. Otherwise it will be
100% rechecked to meet the required quality standard.
Fabrication
Generally there are two types of fabric.
1. Woven Fabric
2. Knitted Fabric

****The knitted stitches that occur in vertical columns are called Wales, and those in horizontal rows
are called courses.
Stitches & Seams
Stitch: Is a formation of thread for the purpose of making a seam or stitching.
Seam: Consists of a series of stitches used to join two or more plies of material / fabric.
23
Stitching: Consists of a series of stitches used to finish the edge or decorative stitch a single ply of
material.
Types of Stitches
There are two basic types of stitches
1. Lock Stitch (Examples for lock stitch are zigzag & button hole).
2. Chain Stitch (Examples for chain stitch are over lock & flat Lock & usually used loopers).

(In special cases, audit can be conducted at General Inspection Level III.
Quality Audit: General Inspection Level II, A.Q.L 1.5 (MILSTD105E)
SOPs
1. Take packing list and make sure either they paste ASN/ MCL at cartons or not. If no then
audit should be stopped. If they paste then make sure calculation of cartons after it take
down the sample size in pieces and cartons. If number of colors in one shipment is more than
six then packing and quality audits will be conducted @ general inspection level III.
2. Then count the number of cartons according to the packing list color wise or size wise as well
as check ASN/ MCL, Barcode information, after confirmation paste the stamp and mark
cartons as per sample plan.
32
3. Before opening cartons, check seal and security slip. It should be pasted up & down both
sides of the cartons.
4. Every auditor should check appropriate signature of specific mark & should stack the
marked cartons color & size wise.
5. Now open the cartons color wise & size wise & check qty of garments as per barcode & ASN /
MCL, which is required, either solid packing or assorted.
6. After checking qty, check accessories according to accessory card and contract; check color
code, lot #, P.O# and size code with respect to ASN/ DTS/ Barcode detail.
7. In hanger packing, check the hanger whether it is at front side or reverse. It should always
like question mark on front.
8. During checking packing, we have to select sample size for measurements & quality audits. If
packing audit rechecks then quality audit stopped.
9. After it perform measurement audit according to the sample size and make specs report.
10. Any measurement that is out of tolerance needs to be circled and recorded on the
measurement sheet.
11. After measurements audit start quality audit as per audit criteria. Before starting quality
audit, all the sample garments should be counted again & should be color wise and size wise.
12. Garment should be checked clockwise and when a defect is found, it must be marked, but the
inspection of the garment must continue until the whole garment has been reviewed.
13. Upon completion of audit, the defective units are tallied and the following action is taken:
If the number of defective units found is/ are equal to or less than the acceptable level, the
lot will be considered acceptable.
If the number of defective units found is/ are equal to or greater than the reject level, the lot
will be failed (rescreen).
14. Make the packing and quality audit reports and show the OQL % of the shipment.
15. If audit is ok then auditor should sign the gate pass & should move the pass cartons in his
supervision. While signing the gate pass, auditor should review the color, size, po, style &
date, pcs qty & cartons qty mentioned at gate pass with sample plan.
16. If audit is rechecked then auditor should not sign the gate pass.
Note:
Always inspect the complete sample size. Do not assume, after inspecting a few piece, the lot
is good the inspection must be completed before making such an assessment.
Q.A not allows the audit of lot with mixing of different styles or Pos. Each style and PO will
be audited separately.
For rescreened/ failed shipment, the concerned unit/ Q.C will take corrective action to bring
the lots quality to an acceptable level. The concerned unit will be responsible for 100%
reinspection of the lot to sort out or correct all defective garments. The concerned unit will
present lot to Q.A for reaudit after reinspection (100%). The concerned unit is not allowed
to put rejected pieces back into the failed lot during or after re-inspection. The rejected
pieces must be corrected or removed from the lot prior to present Q.A audit.
Observations: An observation is, when an inspector notices that there is a quality or packing
call out, beyond the scope of the pieces that are pulled for inspection. Possible examples are,
when the inspector notices that all of the pieces in a carton are missing labels, even though
the inspector is only pulling 3 pieces from that carton for the actual inspection. Or if during
inspection, Inspector notices that 50% of the lot had pressing marks, puckering etc, all
pieces pulled in sampling should be counted as a defect within the AQL. In these cases, the
auditor will clearly explain the quality call out and how it relates to the scope of the
inspection in the observations section of the report.

Sampling plan
By keeping in view the quality standard & requirements of MTMs valued customers, Q.A is determining
& measuring the quality of all products by using sampling plan MILSTD105 E.
MILSTD105E: is a random sampling inspection method and is the most widely accepted
method of sampling by attributes based on the mathematical theory of probability. It provides
the number of samples to be inspected in a given shipment / lot size. It also provides specific
criteria for acceptance or rejection of a shipment / lot based on the number of defects found, and
provides a fair assessment, to both buyers and sellers, related product quality.
AQL (Acceptable Quality Level): is the quality level which is for purposes of sampling
inspection. It is the limit of satisfactory manufacturing process.
How TO PICK SAMPLE SIZE
For Pieces Sample
Total Pieces in (color, size) / Total Pieces in (shipment) X Total sample Pieces.
For Cartons Sample
Total Cartons in (color, size) / Total Cartons in (shipment) X Total sample Cartons.

machine & should correct the needle &
loopers / shuttle timing.
When we are putting the thread, but not
following the thread path given at machine.
While putting the thread in machine,
should follow the thread path.
When we are using low quality thread &
TPI are not as per required standard.
Should use the quality thread to stop the
problem.
When needle is clamped improperly.
Needle should be clamped properly when
needle is changed.
Twist direction should be accurate.
For sewing thread, the twist direction
should be (Z) clock wise.
When thread tension is too tight.
Thread tensions should be checked & it
should be normal.
2 Broken Stitch
When thread tension is too tight.
Should check the thread tensions & it
should be proper.
When thread strength is too low & using
wrong ply thread.
Should use the correct ply thread,
keeping in view the fabric type & quality
of fabric.
When using low quality thread which has
some hairiness.
Thread should be properly waxed & there
should not be hairiness at thread.
Negligence of clipping operator. Make sure to follow clipping S.O.Ps.
Due to handling problem of machine
operator when he completes his operation
& pulling out the garment from machine.
Machine operator should control
handling problem & he must be educated
to cut the extra thread by machine cutter.
3 Needle Cut
When wrong type & size needle is used.
Wrong type needle should not be used &
needle size should be correct.
When use the damage needle. Should replace the needles time by time.
When re-dyed fabric is used & as it
become harsh by re-dying.
Use the special needle for re-dyed fabric
to avoid the needle cuts.
When needle will heat up. Follow machine wise standard R.P.M.
4 Puckering
When operator pulls the fabric not properly
& fabric parts are not equal in length.
Cutting parts should be equal & should
control the operator handling as well.
When upper & lower thread tension is tight
but fabric is relaxed, it will create
puckering.
Upper & lower thread tensions should be
properly adjusted.
When different kinds of fabric are stitched
together. They will create puckering due to
fabric behave.
Operator should carefully stitch such
fabrics keeping in view the fabric
behave.
After washing, when fabric shrink but
thread not shrink & vice versa.
Fabrics shrinkage should be controlled. It
should not be more than or less than
given shrinkage tolerances.
58
5 Open Seam
Uneven cutting of parts / components.
Uneven cutting of parts should be
controlled from cutting department.
