Cutting and Slitting

NO CLAIMS ARE ACCEPTED AFTER FABRICS HAVE BEEN CUT TO ORDER

METHODS OF CUTTING

A. Ribbons (Minimum 20 meters):
Circular Blade Slitter – Fabric rolls can be cold cut to a minimum width of 1/2”.
Hot   Knife Fusing Machine - Many synthetic fiber fabrics and some   polyester/cotton blends     can be cut with fused edges, to reduce   and/or prevent fraying. Minimum width 2 inches.

B. Swatches (Minimum 1 meter):

Die cut and hand cut, with cutting room equipment.
Straight Edges - Edges can be sewn with an overcast stitch to prevent fraying.
Pinked Edges - Edges are “pinked” (^^^^^^^^) to reduce fraying of woven test materials.

Synthetic   fiber fabrics can be cut with two fused edges and two cold cut edges or   with four fused edges provided the swatch is no larger than 4” x 6”.
Fabrics can be cut and balanced into five or ten gram pieces with an adjusted tolerance as specified.
