The document discusses different techniques used in apparel production like types of seams, stitches, machines, spreading and marker modes used for shirt manufacturing.

The main types of seams and stitches discussed are superimposed seam, bound seam, lapped seam and edge finishing seam. Different machine types and their uses are also listed.

Sewing machines like lockstitch, overlock and chainstitch machines. Non-sewing machines include fusing machine, iron and collar turning machine are used. Specific machine types and their application in different parts of the shirt are provided.

SPREADING MODE

● A spreading mode is the manner in which the fabric piles are laid out for cutting.

● A proper spreading process in garments may affect on productivity, quality, and cost of the production. Fabric spreading is very
important task to maintain proper shape of the fabric before cutting of garments.

● Two fabric characteristics that determine the spreading mode are the direction of the fabric face and direction of fabric nap and
the pattern of the garment.

Spreading Machine
DIRECTION OF FABRIC NAP

● The surface directionality


or the view of the fabric is
called a nap.

● Nap decides asymmetry or


symmetry of the fabric

● Symmetric fabrics have no


nap direction i.e there is
no change in the
appearance when the
fabric is turned 180
No visible nap of the fabric, therefore it is a symmetric fabric degrees in the same plane.
DIRECTION OF FABRIC FACE

FACE - ONE - WAY

● All the plies are spread in both


directions, with their faces side up.

● After a ply is laid it is cut across its


width from the roll of cloth.

Placement of fabric plies performing in a ‘face one way in both directions’ spreading ● To ensure that the face side in all plies is
mode
upward, the cloth roll at the end of each
ply has to be rotated around 180 °.
FORMAL SHIRT PATTERN

Patch pocket with flap

In this pattern, Front, sleeve and sleeve lap is


asymmetric whereas back, back yoke, cuff,
collar, collar stand and patch pocket is
symmetric.
MARKER MODE

● The marker mode is determined by fabric symmetry and directionality of fabric.

● The term nap is used to indicate the fabric is directional it is different end to end and it is created by its structure (cut and uncut
piles, finish or a directional print).

Open, Nap-one-way (N/O/W) marker

● This marker mode consists of all the pattern pieces


facing in one direction, towards top generally.

● It’s common with asymmetric fabrics or directional


prints, where direction of the nap or the print face an
important feature in the garment.

● The open, N/O/W marker uses F/O/W, N/O/W


spreading mode for highest quality.

● However, the speed of this spreading mode is slower


and the marker layout is less economical.
Nap One Way, Face One Way (NOW, F/O/W)

[1] Spread the fabric by pulling out the desired length from the roll.
● The highest quality of spreading is
achieved.

● Each layer of fabric is spread with the face


up.

● The fabric is spread in one direction only,


from the end of the table to the beginning.

● For this mode of spreading, the patterns in


an open marker are placed N/O/W.

● Good for one way fabrics

● Laying efficiency around 50%

(manual cutting) This is a slow method of spreading however, because after
each layer is spread, the fabric is cut at the end and the

machine and operator transverse back to the opposite end of
the table to begin spreading the next layer of fabric (known as
“deadheading”, which means traveling without a load). This
process is repeated until all the plies needed are spread.
