I. Read and translate the text. Cutting

One should keep in mind that before cutting all wool fabrics should be shrunk. We know that shrinkage may be done by hand by means of shrinkage machine. The shrinkage machine is capable to shrink wool fabric to such a degree that they would not shrink on subsequent treatment.

The shrinkage machine is special conveyors consisting of heating and steaming chambers; the conveyor itself being inclined horizontally, this slope give the maximum shrinkage in length during the treatment by steam and vibration.

We are going to have a discussion on cutting. All garments begin in a design room. Here designers sketch out their ideas for a new model using high-fashion magazine, various showings to help them to keep in the current mode. Then cutting itself is being done.

Cutting requires considerable kill because the fit of the garment depend to on a great extent upon the accuracy of the cutter. Cutting has become more complicated by the introduction of new fabric with different characteristics.

Cutting methods vary considerably. The cutting operations can be done by single operators or by a tern of operators. There are three main operations: spreading, marking and cutting.

The term "spreading" refers to the laying out and piling of piece goods on the cutting tables. The spreading operation varies with the methods used: cutting on the open and in the fold, spreading by hand or machine; laying fabrics face to face to beck and spreading the fabrics all in the same direction. Good spreading result in a lay in which each ply lies perfectly flat and without tension. Today electric and hand operated cloth spreading machine are known to be widely used for all natural and synthetic materials.
