Cutting Techniques

True-Bias is the direction on a fabric at a 45-degree angle to the warp and weft threads. Its main characteristics are:

Maximum stretchability compared to warp and weft directions.
Provides better drape and fluidity to garments.
Helps garments conform smoothly to body contours.
Offers resilience, reducing wrinkles and maintaining shape.

The blanks are filled by: Knife cutting and woven fabrics. Knife cutting is the fastest and most commonly used method of fabric cutting in the garment industry. It uses a sharp blade to cut through multiple layers of fabric quickly and accurately. However, knife cutting is suitable only for woven fabrics, which have a stable grain and structure, allowing clean cuts without distortion. It is generally not recommended for knitted or stretch fabrics that require different cutting techniques to avoid stretching or fraying. Knife cutting can be done manually or with an automated cutting machine for mass production.
