18.4 The spreading and cutting of fabrics with
high-cut pile
Fabrics with high-cut pile (see Fig. 18.5) are spread in a single ply and cut manually
using shears or automated way by laser.
18.4.1 Manual cutting
The cutting must be done from the reverse side of the material. The backing/substrate
fabric is cut carefully using the tips of the shears and the pile is moved aside from the
cutting line to avoid damaging it (see Figs 18.6 and 18.7).
