How many people are aware that checked fabric generally produces more fabric waste than plain fabric in the production process? There are few current academic recourses that discussed the reasons for this.
The purpose of this research is to investigate the factors that affect checked fabric waste in the cutting stage and develop appropriate solutions to reduce fabric waste that is beneficial for reducing production costs and environmental impact.
Check pattern types include symmetrical and asymmetrical check patterns.
All check matching areas for a ladies' tailored jacket. The necessity of check matching directly affects the fabric waste for checked fabric.
Consistency of check pattern position between multiple jackets of the same style.
Reducing garment length can be an option to reduce fabric waste, however, the size of the check repeat needs to be considered carefully.
Three experiments (from top-left-right). Developing marker plans to reduce fabric waste in checked fabric in the cutting stage.
