A cutting guide having a seam allowance recess and methods of cutting a piece of material with such cutting guide.

A method of scribing abrasion aesthetics, patterns, images, serial numbers, ply markings and/or other information, such as sizing or care information, on fabric such as denim, before or during the fabric cutting process is provided. The method comprises loading the panel abrasion software, pattern marker software, and fabric scribing software; placing the fabric on a flat surface under at least one laser; laser scribing ply numbers, serial labels, fabric markers, and panel abrasions on the fabric; cutting the fabric into fabric lengths; spreading the pre-abraded and pre-marked fabric lengths on top of each other to create multiple plies in precise alignment; cutting shaped panels along the lines of the pattern marker with a conventional knife, laser, or other appropriate cutting tool; and stacking the abraded, labeled and shaped panels robotically or manually for sewing.

A sliding sheet includes a fabric layer is disclosed. The fabric layer includes warp yarns and weft yarns. The warp yarns are interlaced with the weft yarns. The sliding sheet has a first edge extending in a length direction of the sliding sheet. The warp yarns are bent toward a middle portion of the first edge. A method for manufacturing the sliding sheet is also disclosed. An auxiliary yarn is woven with the warp yarns and the weft yarns to form a fabric raw layer. A tension for weaving the auxiliary yarn is adjusted so that the tension of the auxiliary yarn is greater than the tension of the warp yarns, thereby bending the warp yarns in the fabric raw layer toward the auxiliary yarn. The fabric raw layer is heated to fix the shape of yarns, and cut into the fabric layer to form the sliding sheet.

The invention relates to a die for cutting a shape or pattern from a material, the die being composed of a base plate (1) comprising an upper surface (2) and a lower surface (3). The die comprises one or more raised edges (4) in the form of a pattern or shape to be die-cut or embossed, on each of the upper and lower surfaces, such that the die can be used to die-cut or emboss two sheets of material simultaneously.

A rotary cutter insert can include a body configured to cover a first portion of a surface of a rotary blade. Further, the body of the rotary cutter insert can have an angled cutout configured to expose a second portion of the surface of the rotary blade so a rotary cutter can be used while the rotary cutter insert is in place. The rotary cutter insert reduces the area of exposed rotary blade that could potentially injure a user, thus making the rotary cutter significantly safer.
