Another difficult look to achieve would be to have all the the lines meet up, however, when trying to check, the lines did not match, therefore the squares were not equal.]]> 2018-11-28 18:39:40 UTC https://padlet.com/25230392/quy23086xox1/wish/308970420 Velvet Fabric Lay Plan 25230392 https://padlet.com/25230392/quy23086xox1/wish/308982253 A hard quality of velvet to work with as the nap pile goes in one direction so you cannot lay the pattern pieces in any direction, otherwise when putting the pieces together, the velvet would look all over the place, the shines would show in different angles.]]> 2018-11-28 18:56:31 UTC https://padlet.com/25230392/quy23086xox1/wish/308982253 Manually lay-up fabric within tolerance in accordance with organisational rules, codes, guidelines and standards. (3.5) 25230392 https://padlet.com/25230392/quy23086xox1/wish/308994493 The manufacture 'Fashion Enter' fabric guideline tolerance when manually lay-plan fabric is to use at least 85% of fabric.

However, there are some fabrics such as velvet, one-way prints, stripes and checks, etc, that consume more fabric in order to make the end result more pleasing to look at.]]> 2018-11-28 19:13:38 UTC https://padlet.com/25230392/quy23086xox1/wish/308994493 Identify acceptable material faults and mark for future identification (3.6) 25230392 https://padlet.com/25230392/quy23086xox1/wish/309015187 Chalk marks, small stains may be acceptable, especially ones that can be washed and removed. So are small tears in the fabric but not big slashes that obviously cannot be fixed or patched with extra fabric.
The manufacturer usually indicates these small defects with stickers, to make the tailor aware of it.
In the industry, to avoid the defects in clothing, the usually cut extra fabric or lay the garment over the defect to cover it.]]> 2018-11-28 19:46:19 UTC https://padlet.com/25230392/quy23086xox1/wish/309015187 The Lay Planning Process: CAD/CAM (3.2) 25230392 https://padlet.com/25230392/quy23086xox1/wish/311748521 This is done digitally, and is a safe and efficient way to make and create designs for the masses. When sending rough copies to designers for, the prints and information are sent through as files, some are so detailed that you can physically see the texture through the computer. It also comes in handy for the sending the "materials" overseas as samples. This does not waste any material and is therefore economic. However, a disadvantage would be that it costs quite a bit to buy the equipment needed for this process as well as training the staff. It takes quite a bit to make that money back as well but the overall outcome would be worth it.]]> 2018-12-06 11:25:42 UTC https://padlet.com/25230392/quy23086xox1/wish/311748521 The Lay Planning Process Manual (3.2) 25230392 https://padlet.com/25230392/quy23086xox1/wish/311755973 this also contains the objective of 3.1]]> 2018-12-06 12:00:11 UTC https://padlet.com/25230392/quy23086xox1/wish/311755973 Characteristics of Woven Fabrics (2.2) 25230392 https://padlet.com/25230392/quy23086xox1/wish/311811875 -Fray easily
-when a being burnt as a test, the fabric will turn to ash, and fall away when touched, because of its wool element.
-woven fabrics usually have a nap, the texture will show which way the fabric must be pressed.
Examples of woven:
-Worsted
-Calico
-Muslin]]> 2018-12-06 14:22:45 UTC https://padlet.com/25230392/quy23086xox1/wish/311811875 Characteristic of Knitted Fabric (2.3) 25230392 https://padlet.com/25230392/quy23086xox1/wish/311829151 -Flexible

Some say that the Lycra fabric isn't as comfortable for a while so there is a well-known competitor of it - polyester. It is cheaper to produce and can keep its colour, being resistant to chlorine.]]> 2019-01-23 00:23:13 UTC https://padlet.com/25230392/quy23086xox1/wish/323270593
