Fabric Layer

Tagged Resources Ltd
Leicester
An established Fashion supplier is seeking an experienced Fabric layer. You will be responsible for laying up fabric accurately and efficiently in preparation for cutting, ensuring optimal fabric utilisation, correct alignment, and quality standards are maintained throughout the spreading process.

The role:

Check work orders, markers, and cutting plans before starting each lay.

Inspect incoming fabric rolls for obvious faults, shade variation, width issues, and roll labelling; report discrepancies to the supervisor or quality team.

Spread and layer fabric by hand or using spreading equipment according to marker, ply height, nap, stripe, check, or directional requirements.

Align selvedges, control tension, and eliminate wrinkles, bowing, or skewing during spreading.

Count and record number of plies laid and ensure correct fabric types and colours are used for each marker.

Label lays clearly (style, size range, colour, fabric code, roll numbers, ply count) for traceability.

Minimise fabric wastage by following marker plans, using end bits effectively, and segregating usable remnants.

Follow company quality standards and highlight fabric defects, contamination, or shading issues promptly.

Keep the laying area clean, organised, and safe; follow all health and safety procedures, including manual-handling practices.

Work closely with cutters, pattern room, and production planning to meet daily targets and delivery schedules.

Complete basic production records (lay sheets, roll usage, wastage logs) accurately.

Requirements:

Experience in fabric laying/spreading or cutting-room work in an apparel/garment environment (high-volume supplier experience desirable).

Good understanding of different fabric types (knits, wovens, stretch, stripes/checks) and how they behave during spreading.

Ability to read basic production documents: cutting tickets, markers, lay plans, and style information.

Strong attention to detail and accuracy in alignment, ply counts, and labelling.

Physically fit and comfortable with standing, bending, and lifting fabric rolls within safe limits.

Basic numeracy and record-keeping skills.

Ability to work to targets while maintaining quality and safety.

Team-oriented, reliable, and punctual.
