What should you check after cutting the fabric?

After cutting the fabric, it is essential to check the alteration finish. This step ensures that the edges of the fabric are properly finished to prevent fraying or unraveling, which could compromise the integrity of the garment. A clean alteration finish indicates that the fabric has been processed correctly and is ready for further construction or assembly.

Checking the alteration finish is crucial for achieving a professional look in the final product. It helps identify any necessary modifications that may need to be made prior to sewing, ensuring that the fabric pieces will align correctly and maintain their shape during the sewing process.

While other aspects like sewing machine settings, ironing quality, and customer feedback are important in the overall sewing process, they are generally addressed at different stages. The alteration finish is specifically relevant right after cutting, making it the priority check at that moment.
