The garment cutting section is the most crucial in garment industries. In this section, fabrics are cut according to the marker dimension. There are two types of fabric-cutting methods. One is manual, and the other is computerized. Cut fabrics are sorted according to the sizes and then numbered. Numbering is done to avoid shade variation of the fabrics. So, during numbering, extra care must be taken.
The bond knife is used to cut smaller parts of garments. The straight knife is mainly used in garment industries to cut long portions. It can also cut the curve portions of garments.
