Marker is the thin paper in which all necessary pattern pieces are drawn, in such a way to minimize the fabric wastage. It gives the special instruction for cutting. It can be done both manually and computerized method.

• Marker making can be done by two processes one is manual method and another is computerized method.

– In computerized method all information are in the pre fashionable data file and an operator helps the computer to make the best choice.

– In manual method marker making is done by efficient marker maker.

• In this process, at first production pattern is entered in the memory of computer by using digitizing, scanning, and full size production pattern also stored in memory of computer but all pattern pieces are displayed in miniature from at the top of screen.

• There are two types of computerized marker is available.• Automatic marker making• Interactive marker making

• Automatic marker making: • Computer makes marker itself. Marker making is done automatically by

previously planned data more efficient marker is obtained by this method.• Interactive marker making:• It is a common process, where the planer makes the marker with the help of

computer. All the pattern pieces are displayed in the miniature from at the top of the screen. A horizontal line in the middle of screen is seen which is called width of marker. A vertical line placed left side of horizontal line is

Marker is attached fabric lay by pin or gum. Marker works as a guide during fabric cutting. Marker paper is cut during fabric cutting for that marker copy is needed. These are many methods of duplicating methods of duplicating marker making:

Drawing the marker by hand:

•Carbon duplicating method

•Sprit duplicating method

•Photograph or light sensitive paper method

•Perforated marker

•Computerized marker

•Photographic system

• Drawing by chalk or pencil:

• In this method marker is drawn directly on fabric. According to marker plan pattern pieces are directly placed on the fabric then chalk is made by pipe clay or wax or fluorescent. In requires more time and highly skilled planer. It is an ancient method. It is less use in garments industry but more use in tailoring.

14

The marker planner measures his success by the efficiency of the marker plan. If the marker efficiency is high the fabric wastage will be less. Fabric price is half of total price of garments. So 1% marker efficiency means that profit include with total profit. For that increasing marker efficiency is more important. Marker efficiency cab be calculate by following formula-

Marker efficiency=

15

Factor related to marker efficiency are as below:1. Marker planner:2. Size of garments:3. Marker length:4. Marker width:5. Pattern engineering:6. Fabric characteristics:7. Marker making method:

16

At first a marker maker placed big patterns on marker paper. Then small pattern are placed in the gap of the big patterns to minimize the fabric wastages. After that pattern pieces are moved in various directions to increase the maker efficiency.

The obstacles of marker:

1. Grain line .

2. The design and characteristics of finished garment.

3. Symmetry or asymmetry of fabric.

4. The design and characteristics of finished garment.

17

Generally highest uses of marker depend on marker efficiency.

But some fabric wastages are happened which are the out of

control of marker plan. Descriptions are as below, which are

the causes of fabric losses.

1. Ends of ply lose2. Losses of fabric Ends3. Selvedge losses4. Purchase loss

Without practical knowledge education cannot be effective. So the importance of the practical visit as well as mill visit is beyond discussion. First of all we want to say with great regret that through garment industry is a blooming sector for Bangladesh which can boost up our economy but there lies deficiency in using technology.

It is mentioned that our visited textile mills is a composite factory having garments, knitting and dyeing section but there are only three textile engineer and the others are non technical person. That’s why they use manual process for marker making, fabric spreading and fabric cutting will be done. They use a technology to reduce the wastage of fabric that is to maintain the fabric width according to the cutting table width. It is mentioned the computerized marker making is not effective for the knit project as well as the weaving project.
