Our team’s advice

• It is recommended to cut the pieces of garments only according to the main/machine direction of the knitted fabric.
• It is recommended to avoid stretching/pulling during the cutting – make sure that the cutting machine cuts, does not damage/tear and tension the knitted fabric during of cut process. It is recommended to use only a sharp knife and sharpen the edge of the knife regularly.
