Garment Fusing। Different elements used in the garment industry

Fusing? 

Fusing is a process of introducing interlining materials/sheet in-between the parts of the garment. Fusible Interlining sheet is coated with thermoplastic polymer resin and it is used to ensure a fixed shape, good strength and stability of a garment.

Garments Making Flow chart । Garments' Components

A garment making process consists of several essential processes. These operations are executed steps by steps to make the desired garment item like t-shirt, polo shirt, trouser etc. The process flow chart of making a garment has been outlined as below-

Negotiation – the dialogue between opposing parties (customer vs vendor) to a deal whereby they attempt to reach an agreement. Virtually every business process requires some degree of negotiation. To progress in business and in most personal endeavours, negotiation must be employed. Negotiation starts after the successful technical meeting on the item or garment to be ordered. 

Fabric cutting । Methods of Fabric Cutting in Garment Industry

Fabric cutting is one of the preparatory processes of garments manufacturing. It is done to separate different parts of a garment from the lays of fabrics according to pre-designed marker with various size ranges placed on the lay. After the cutting operation, the cut pieces are sorted out, numbered and bundled as per different sizes.

Inspection systems for Apparel Industry। Common Garment Tests

Different inspection systems are being used at different phases of garment manufacturing in order to ensure the right quality of the products as per customers' expectations. 

Interlining in Garment Manufacturing

Interlining?

Interlining is a sheet of fusible or non-fusible material that is used in-between the layers of fabric to give a certain shape and strength. For example, interlining is used in the collars, cuffs, waistbands to ensure the shape. Right interlining should be carefully selected to avoid any types of damage to the garments/parts of the garments. Interlining may be introduced to the garment parts either by sewing or fusing depending on the types of interlining being used.
