The disclosure herein generally relate to manufacturing of garments and more particularly to a system for automated manufacturing of garments. The system is configured to automatically perform operations on fabric sections to manufacture finished garments without manual intervention and at low costs. The system monitors the operations performed on the fabric sections and automatically adjusts the alignment/handling of the fabric sections to ensure quality finished garments. The system eliminates human error and enhances the sewing quality and increases production of garments.

A method and tooling for manufacturing flexible articles of manufacture such as garments, bags, backpacks and accessories that require hemmed edges. The method and tooling are compatible for use in an automated system and simplify the hemming process by performing the hemming operation on a flat pattern of material before the pattern of material has been joined with other patterns of material to form a finished or intermediate three-dimensional workpiece. This facilitates the formation of the hem by allowing the hem to be formed on a flat material pattern on a flat surface, thereby facilitating the folding, creasing and affixing of the hem without the requirement of human dexterity and labor.

A cloth edge curl correction device includes: a support plate extending along the direction of feed of a cloth at a front position of a turn-back guide device folding up and down over a given width the edge part of the cloth to be fed into a needle location position on a cylindrical bed; a cloth support provided near the support plate and supporting the cloth from the under; and an air ejection nozzle ejecting air toward a base part of the cloth support. Ejected air from the air ejection nozzle is applied to the edge of the cloth on the cloth support so that a curl generated in the edge is smoothed and corrected and then the cloth is fed in a manner that the edge goes along the support plate.

A sewing machine for hem includes a turn-back device provided in front of a needle location position on a sewing machine bed, the turn-back device turning back an edge part of cloth into a state of being folded one above the other, and then feeding the turned-back cloth. In front of the turn-back device, a feed belt and a cloth presser foot are arranged opposite to each other with a cloth feeding path in between. By virtue of operation of a rotary solenoid performed on the basis of a detection result of a detector arranged in front of the opposing portion, the cloth presser foot is raised and lowered and thereby holds the cloth in cooperation with the feed belt so as to exert a movement force in the right and left directions onto the cloth.

A decorative engineered self-hem and a method to prepare the decorative engineered self-hem in a single fabric is disclosed herein. It is prepared without having any additional cut and sew, with various weave patterns designed in a design area 10-20 inches from a selvedge area and the rest of the fabric is woven in conventional weave pattern such as satin/twill. The method of preparation includes cutting the fabric parallel to a selvedge area; folding the fabric overlapping the selvedge area; and folding the full fabric horizontally and, at the same time, hemming of edge of the selvedge area to finish.
