Before fabric is issued to the cutting department, a swatch is to be taken off each dye batch of fabric, plus collars and cuffs, and mounted onto a continuity card for checking against approved swatch. If a batch is received which does not match the approved swatch, then the fabric is to be rejected. Collars and cuffs should be tested and treated in the same way.


2. Collars/cuffs

Ensure that the correct lot numbers are attached to the main fabric


3. Cutting table

Whew laying out fabric only lay out one lot number at a tune. Check for dye evenness, knitting faults and hand feel.


4. Numbering
