(b) Face up in both direction:

In this method, the fabric can be spread without cutting from one end to the other, in one continuous motion
based on the marker length. By this method, we can arrange or spread the fabric in a zig zag manner with
folding at the both ends. In this type, the right side and the wrong side of the fabric layers are facing the
right side and wrong side respectively. This is suitable for the fabrics which are not having the tight and
wrong side difference and also for double side printed fabric.

(C) Face down in a single direction
All the plies are placed in a single direction with their facial side down. After a ply is laid it is cut across its
width from the roll of cloth. This method of spreading is used in knitted fabrics where the cut edges roll.
When the face side up spreading is used, it is difficult to fix the ply ends.

This spreading mode cannot be used in the following situations:
• Where a design has asymmetric components and the pattern pieces in a marker is positioned side-up
with their face;
• Where fabric faults have to be rejected during spreading.

(d) Face to face in a single direction’ spreading mode:
The first ply of material is stretched side-up with its face. The ply is laid and then cut across its width from
the roll of cloth. The fabric roll is rotated around 180 ° after or during the ‘ dead-heading ‘ process and the
next ply is spread in the same direction with its face side down wards. The tissue is distributed in both
directions. The fabric is folded at the end of each ply, and the spread proceeds in the opposite direction. So,
the first ply has its face up, the second ply has its face down and the third ply is face-up again.
