Summary
A job that aligns fabric patterns so they connect seamlessly, preparing for cutting and sewing processes.
Description

They measure the fabric's width and length, draw cutting lines using rulers or templates, and visually inspect for any misalignment. This is primarily standing work in a factory, requiring high-precision collaboration with sewing workers and pattern makers.
