Fabric spreading and cutting:
At first the fabrics spread on the cutting table by manual or
machine. Generally 60-100 ply of fabric lay at a time. If
there is any problem or faults in the fabric then they want
to avoid this fault. But if one cutting piece have any fault
then it is very difficult to match the shade of the fabric.
Usually the cut piece again cut if there is fabric remain at
the end of the fabric roll.
