exceeds the number of articles that it is possible to lay in one spread, several equal
spreads are made to reach the required garment quantity (see Table 4.1, second position).

4.2.9 The fixing of a marker on top of the spread

After spreading of all required fabric plies, a marker printed on paper of thickness
2
45–80 g/m is placed on the top ply (see Fig. 4.7). It is precisely positioned to the
previously precisely aligned left edge of the spread. If automated cutting process is
performed, instead of the preprinted marker other cut component identification meth-
ods can be used (see Section 9.3.8).

4.3 Fabric spreading modes and their application

Depending on the pattern and other properties, a fabric may be spread in different
ways. The spreading mode determines the placement of the face side of each fabric ply
in a spread – up or down and the placement direction of each fabric ply in a spread – in
single or both directions.
