Fabric break

Fabric break

The fold that forms when a fabric is folded or turned over is called a fabric break . The term breakline is also common for such a fold .

With the so-called “cutting in the fabric break”, the fabric lies twice and the cut-out parts are mirrored. In this way, for. B. a right and a left sleeve or a right and a left pant leg part. When cutting large parts that are only required once, the cut piece of paper, which is folded to half size at the edge marked with a broken fabric , is placed against the broken edge of the fabric.

The crease is a fabric break ironed in the middle on the front and the back of a pair of trousers .
