    Types of Markers

    1. A mixed marker
    A mixed marker is the most popular type of marker. When the
    garment is asymmetric, or for the purpose of obtaining good efficiency,
    the mixed marker is used on fabric that is spread open and face up on the
    table. For most woven fabrics, and flat open knits, mixed markers offer the
    best utilization of fabric because the patterns are placed wherever they fit
    best in the length of the marker.

    2. An open marker
    An open Marker is the second most popular type of marker. When
    the garment is asymmetric, or for the purpose of obtaining the best
    quality from the spreading process, the open Marker keeps pairs of
    parts (left and right) close together in the length of the marker. The
    open Marker is used on fabric that is spread open and face up on
    the table. For most woven fabrics, and flat open knits, open markers
    offer the second best utilization of fabric.

    3. The closed marker


    The closed marker is used under special circumstances. As only one
    half of the pattern set is used, the fabric spread on the table is folded in
    its length and is oriented face to face. After cutting, any one pattern piece
    would yield the left and right piece of the garment when choosing a pair of
    consecutive plies. Styles that have certain pattern pieces that cover the
    full width (a one piece back versus a left and right back pattern piece) can
    be oriented on the control fold of the marker(see Spreading Closed
    Goods). Cutting through at the fold, yields a one-piece part.

    4. The closed-on-open marker


    The closed-on-open marker is similar to the closed marker. However,
    since there is no fold at the selvedge, the pattern pieces must be either
    left or right. Styles with one-piece parts like a one piece back panel cannot
    be made using a closed-on-open marker without blocking and re-laying.
    For any one part in the marker, a pair of consecutive plies of fabric
    (spread face to face) produces the left and right pieces of the garment.
    Fabric dyeing must be consistent to use this method, as garments will be
    constructed of two consecutive plies of fabric.

    5. Blocking and re-laying


    Blocking and re-laying in the spreading process may be used in
    conjunction with a closed-on-open marker. To take advantage of a
    symmetric garment, and placing a half set of patterns in the marker, when
    one pattern in the garment is full body width (rather than left and right
    patterns), for two consecutive sizes in the marker, only the larger pattern

    of the two is placed in the marker. After the part is cut, the cut block for
    the pattern is divided in half, and the smaller size pattern of that part is
    placed on the second half. This is then recut to the smaller size.

    6. Single Section Marker.


    When the patterns of all the different sizes are scattered throughout
    the full length of the marker (placed wherever they fit the best), the
    marker is known as non-sectional or single section marker. This marker
    type has the highest utilization of fabric (highest efficiency) as the highest
    quantities of patterns (of all marker types) are fitted together. The marker
    often has multiple sets of the most commonly ordered sizes depending on
    the ratio of sizes ordered.

    7. Section Marker.
    Markers with more than one section, known as section markers are
    utilized when the order ratios are unknown in advance. The section
    marker facilitates producing different order ratios using the same marker
    through step spreading. Although at the lowest efficiency, single-section
    markers permit total flexibility in matching varied order ratios.

    8. Remnant/ End bit marker


    Remnant fabric is the end bit left after the complete laying of a single
    fabric roll. This fabric conventionally thrown aside or used for part change.
