INTRODUCTION TO THE ORGANISATION:

The Textile industry occupies an important place in the Indian economy by virtue of its size,
employment, its contributions to the domestic products and exports. It is the second largest sector of the Indian
economy next to agriculture.

Textile technology education is based on industrial ground. Theoretical background is not sufficient so,
industrial training is an essential part of study to make a technologist technically sound in this field. Industrial
training provides us that opportunity to gather practical knowledge.

YARN – RAW MATERIAL:

Yarn is a long continuous length of interlocked fibres suitable for the production of textiles, knitting,
sewing, weaving, embroidery, rope-making, etc.
KNITTING:
Knitting is the method by which thread or yarn may be turned into cloth or other fine crafts. MUHILAN
KNIT GARMENTS use combed yarn for knitting. Converting yarn into fabric by intermeshing loops which are
formed with the help of needles is known as knitting. The cloth which is manufactured from the machines are of
various types i.e., fine, interlock, thick pick, etc. Each type of cloth is manufactured in different kinds of
machines.

DYEING:
Dyeing is the process of imparting colours to a textile material in loose fibre, yarn, cloth or garment form
by treatment with a dye. To make the cloth look white in colour, it is bleached. The process of dyeing involves
machines called Vinches in which the dye chemicals are mixed with water. Here the dyes are mixed according to
the necessary colour. After this process is over, the clothes are made to dry. Then they undergo the next step.

COMPACTING:
After the dyeing process the coloured clothes undergo a process called Compacting or steaming. This
process is done to reduce shrinkage. Compacting facilitates the checking of each and every lot for shrinkage. This
guides towards the necessary changes required to control the shrinkage as required by today’s quality
standards.

PRINTING AND EMBROIDERY:

The print house comprises of two divisions:
i. Rotary printing
ii. Chest printing
Embroidery can be done all over the fabric with as much as seven colours along with sequins, cording,
boring, etc.

CUTTING AND SHAPING:

The cutting unit is the smallest unit. For the cutting and shaping process, specialized cutter and
spreading machines are used. The cutting and shaping capacity for every shift varies depending upon the size of
fabric to be cut (infants, men, women). There are two different types of cutting:
I. Machine cutting
II. Lay cutting
The cloth is given proper shape by cutting it. The pattern for cutting is given by the pattern master. The cut down
pieces are arranged to 40 pieces and a bundle is made. The size and the number is written on the bundle for
identification. Then the cloth is sent to the stitching unit.

STITCHING (OR) SEWING:

Stitching or sewing or tailoring is the fastening of cloth or other materials using needle and thread.
Stitching is done in different styles:
 Over lock
 Flat lock
 Ordinary stitching machine
  Button attaching machine
 Singer machine

Over lock:
The over lock machine is mainly used for joining two or more pieces of cloth. Over lock stitch machines
that are used for edging, hemming or seaming purposes. These machines sew over the edge of one or two
pieces of cloth after cutting the edges of the cloth and thus create finished seams easily and quickly. These
machines utilize loopers fed by multiple thread cones.
1 needle, 3 threads
2 needles, 4 threads
3 needles, 5 threads

Flat lock:
Flat lock sewing machines are used for providing flat and non raveling seams on the garments. These
machines are provided with a cutting attachment for attaching the seams on the fabric. These machines are
widely used to join parts of knitwear.
1 needle, 2 threads
2 needles, 3 threads
3 needles, 5 threads

CHECKING:
After finishing the stitching process the garments are also tested for any stains or damages. If any stains
are found they are removed using stain removers. In case of any damages, the particular piece is kept
separately. Here, the quality of the garments is checked strictly.

IRONING AND PACKING:

After verification of quality the garments are neatly sent for ironing. The garments are properly ironed
and then sent for packing.
While packing the tags and the price lists are fixed for each and every piece. They are packed using
packing materials like carton boxes, etc according to the requirements of the buyers.

INSPECTION:
As quality has been the hallmark of the products of this company, they execute the the stringest tests at
each and every stage. The most common inspection tests carried out are as follows:
