Sewing Department in Garment Industry:
Garment manufacturing is quite different from any other conventional manufacturing. It is not a continuous production method. Each style is a different product that requires a different type of fabric, color, buttons, thread, etc. The sewing process is one of the most important stages in labor-intensive ready-made clothing enterprises.
In this section, each and every sewing machine and job of machine operators should be inspected on a routine basis for identifying, correcting, and controlling faults and maintaining the quality of products. To ensure the quality of the product, quality control personnel have to control quality in a different section in the garment industry, which is directly or indirectly involved with the production.

Many factors are related to sewing. So the sewing section is not only fabric join, it is a core part of the garment manufacturing industry.
