You will need to understand how products are made in industry and some of the processes involved.

[|Jeans Production.] A really good video about how jeans are made in a factory. Shows many of the machines that you need to know about as well as repetitive flow production, quality control and various fabric finishes. You really should watch it!

[|Spreading, lay planning and cutting.] How fabric pieces are cut out in industry. Often an exam question. Involves CAD/CAM and reducing waste by laying out the pattern pieces as close together as possible. They also ask about cutting the fabric with a laser, saw or knife and the safety procedures.

[|Pressing in industry]. A mass production alternative to ironing.
