Pieces knitted in accordance with the pattern, pattern and color are sent to quality control, and the first checks are made with the help of a lighted table or sense organs (hand-eye), and the faulty ones are separated. The defect-free parts that pass the control are sent to the overlock section and the edges are basted. After basting, it is washed and dried in the appropriate washing program. Knitted pieces are sent to the first iron and the pieces that are ready for cutting are cut according to the patterns produced according to the model. If there are decoration features before the assembly work, it is sent to the relevant unit for hand-made operations. Later, the side and top labels of the knitted pieces, which are transferred to the ready-made clothing section for side seams and to the remayo section for tape and collar attachment, are attached in these sections.
