Fabric spreading is a process where fabric plies are spread to the required length and width according to a marker dimension to prepare for cutting. There are two types of spreading: flat and stepped. Spreading can be done manually or mechanically using semi-automatic or fully automatic machines. The objectives are to correctly align the fabric plies by length and width and allow for large-scale cutting while saving fabric.

systematic way. It is a process by which plies of fabric is spread in order to get required length and width as per marker dimension. This is preparatory operation for cutting of the fabric.

➢ Objects of Fabric Spreading:
1. To place the number of fabric plies to the length
of the marker plan correctly aligned as to the length and width. 2. To cut garments in large scale and saving fabric through the use of multi garments marker plan and the saving in cutting time per garment that result from cutting many piles at the same time. 3. To make every ply flat and plain. 4. At correct tension.
➢ Types of Spreading: There are two types
of spreading
1) Flat spreading 2) Stepped spreading.
• Method of fabric spreading:
1. Manual method 2. Mechanical method : a) Semiautomatic
b) Full automatic
Semiautomatic:
Spreading machine is run on the rails (two rails) which
are placed at two side of fabric spreading table surface and operated by motor. Fabric roll is set in a predetermined place of the machine. Spreading machine is run from one side to the other side of table by using electrical & mechanical motion and fabric is spreaded to make lay.
Full automatic:
This is the improvement of semiautomatic machine.
There are so many advantage of this machine to make fabric lay because; this machine is operated by controlling with the help of robot and micro processor. Techniques of Spreading:
There are four types of fabric spreading
techniques available in clothing industry:
1) Face up with same direction.
2) Face up with opposite direction. 3) Face down & face up with same direction 4) Face down & face up with opposite direction
Face up with same direction:
In this system when fabric laid on the table
its face is keep up with same direction .
Face up with opposite direction:
In this system when fabric laid on the table its
face is keep up & the fabric direction is opposite.
Face down & face up with same direction
In this system when fabric laid on the table its face is keep down & up with same direction.
Face down & face up with opposite direction
In this system when fabric laid on the table its
face is keep down & up but the direction are opposite.
