Stitching Unit Update: Fabric Cutting and Template Size Correction

Facilitated by Shabana K H

Today in the stitching unit, we completed cutting all the remaining fabrics from yesterday using the templates after ironing them. When we randomly measured a few cut pieces to check accuracy, we noticed a size discrepancy because the thickness of the cardboard templates caused the marked size to increase from 4.5 cm to about 5 cm on the fabric. To achieve the correct size, we adjusted and reduced the template size to 4.1 cm, which successfully yielded the required 4.5 cm fabric pieces. Following this, we corrected all the remaining pieces that had been cut at 5 cm down to 4.5 cm. Finally, we mixed and matched the cut fabric pieces to verify that the colors, designs, and cutting patterns coordinated and matched as intended.
