Types of Fabric Lay
Fabric Lay:
Spreading means the smooth laying out of the fabric in
superimposed layer (plies) of specified length and after spreading the shape of
fabric plies is called fabric lay.
During spreading no of lay should be not more than 300.
Types of Fabric Lay:
I.According
to construction:
a) Straight lay,
b) Stepped lay.
a) Straight
lay:
In straight lay each ply of
fabric is spread according to marker length. Use of marker lay is more.
b) Stepped
lay:
Ply of fabric lay is not
spreaded according to marker length i.e. arranged step by step. A different
type of marker is essential for stepped lay. Its use is very much less because
of fabric wastage and lay making is difficult.
Difference
between Straight lay & Stepped lay:
|
Straight lay
|
Stepped lay
|
|
1. Each ply of fabric is
spreaded according to marker length.
|
1. Each ply of fabric is
not spreaded according to marker length i.e. arranged step by step.
|
|
2. Mostly used.
|
2. Less used.
|
|
3. Less fabric wastage.
|
3. More wastage.

4. To make lay is simple.

5. A marker is used.

5. Different type of
marker is used.

II.
According to direction of
spread:
a) Fabric spreading from
right to left,
b) Face to face fabric
spreading &
c) Zig-zag lay.
a)
Fabric spreading from
right to left:
Face
side of fabric for each ply is either upper side or down side but fabric
spreading direction side is always same. After spreading of each lay, fabric
end is cut then again from same end fabric is spreaded.
b)
Face to face fabric
spreading:
Face
side of fabric ply is spreaded face to face and for lay preparation. Roll of
fabric is essential to turn after spreading of each ply. For this special
spreading machine is used.
c)
Zig-zag lay:
Zig-zag lay is prepared by
storing spreading of fabric from one end to other end not cutting fabric and by
holding continuously fabric spreading. In Garments Industry zig-zag lay is used
mostly and for asymmetric fabric, this lay problem.
