Why is this important?A store owner saw the handbag you made at school and ordered 25 from you. How can you ensure that the ones you make will all have the same size, design, and quality?Slide4

How is Grading Done
Grading can be done by:
a CAD (Computer Aided Design) software program
orBy hand on paperSlide7
Developing a Marker
Marking
is the process that uses a computer or paper to create an outline of the shape of the pattern piece .
The markers are then placed on the fabric in a way ensure the least amount of wasted fabric possible.Image Source:

Spreading the Fabric
Spreaders
are machines used to place multiple layers of fabric so they can be cut into pieces ready for assembly.Slide9
Cutting It All Out…The
cutting
process usually involves one of two primary types of machines:
Electric Cutting Knife Laser Cutting MachineSlide10
Electric Knife MachineSlide11
Computerized Laser CutterSlide12
Assembling the ProductApparel
a
ssembly usually involves one of four basic methods:
Tailoring/Whole GarmentProgressive Bundle/PieceworkUnit Production
Modular ManufacturingSlide13
Tailoring/Whole Garment
One person creates the design, pattern and assembles the garment from start to finish.

Modular ProductionMultiple operators work together as a team to create the product with each individual performing multiple steps.Slide17
Standards of Quality Control
When measuring the quality of a finished product, there are two different types of quality to consider
Design Quality
Manufacturing QualitySlide18
Design QualityDesign quality takes into consideration the features that are part of the design of a garment.
Certain
sewing techniques and seam finishes are used on higher quality garments that would not be seen on garments of lesser quality –
ie. bound seams, top stitching etc.Slide19
Manufacturing QualityManufacturing quality considers the care with which a garment has been created. Workers in this area of inspection would look for:
color defects
construction defects
sizing defects
