general area and are shade controlled.
|
|
Each layer edge is checked for unacceptable skew / torque.
|

Lightweight fabrics or off grain fabric use to relax & make it
tension free to prevent problems in stitching.

print appearance on the garment.
|
|
Stitching
|
|
Time and motion study is done before any style
commencement.

|
R&D department does product engineering to increase
productivity using folders & attachment also do all necessary requirement

In-line quality check are maintained at each level and the same are
followed religiously with regard to core aspects of stitching:
|
|
