Unroll a test length
Mark where each edge lies after relaxation. Identify the edge zone that cannot hold a full piece flat without being forced under a clamp.
Run the marker again
Place the widest piece between the stable edges and check the required margin. If the piece only fits under tension, recalculate the layout before placing the order.
Mingpin buying note
ACT identifies stretch and set as relevant physical properties for knits.
The number on a width label does not establish the stable cutting area.
Request the backing reference and mark the usable area on a cutting sample.
