#Textile Fabric Inspection Machine

[raven-at-the-writing-desk]

Hey there, hi there, ho there! It’s your friendly neighborhood tailor! Pleasure to meet you Fellow! I’m quite the seamstress, and I always love to have people to practice styles on! I have, here with me, an entire wardrobe for you and your little brother there! I’ve got winter coats, summer shorts, formal wear for any kind of stuffy event, and a line of loungewear for any kind of casual affair! Hehehehehe. These are a little more experimental outfits, but a charismatic, distinguished gentleman such as yourself would be able to pull it off seamlessly, I’m sure. *Pushes the enormous mountain of clothing to Fellow to try on* Don’t worry about any cost, I just want you to be ready for any occasion. Everyone deserves to look and feel their best. Clothes make the man and all that. I…sincerely hope you and Gidel find something out there worth doing. Take these around for a spin and see how they work. I’ll make any adjustments necessary.

So tell me, do you wanna go?

The dressing room curtain wasn't red nor velvet, but pushing them aside felt like the opening night to a grand show anyway. Fellow and Gidel stepped out, dressed in brand new outfits--similar in construction to the originals, without the holes or the mismatched fabrics. They had been trying on various threads provided by the town's local tailor for the last few hours--and, at the end of the day, this was what felt most comfortable to the duo.

A full-length mirror had been propped up against the wall, allowing them to inspect their figures in full dress. Gidel twirled and twirled until he got dizzy and had to take a seat. Fellow adjusted his lapels many times over, admiring the look and feel of brand new fabrics and buttons.

"Hmph. Not bad. Not bad at all," he said to his smug reflection.

"You're both so handsome," the tailor gushed. "The clothes suit you well."

"You sure we can have all of this for free? No strings attached?" Fellow asked warily.

His eyes darted to wheeled rack that displayed many more items. He almost breathed a sigh of relief to see it still there. Not a figment of his imagination, not a reward to be yanked away at a moment's notice. Something tangible and real.

"Yes, really! I'd appreciate it if you took them off of my hands. They're some of the season's old fashions--they've been hard to move--and some experimental pieces I made in my off-time that don't have mass appeal. It'd be a waste to not let them be worn and shown off." They chuckled to themselves. "Besides, free advertising for the shop, am I right?"

His eyes lit up, mouth breaking out into a smile that showed all of his teeth. "Hot dog! Didja hear that, Giddie? We’re set!”

The two scrambled to gather their new things. Left uncollected for too long, and they feared the clothes would vanish.

The tailor peered into their changing stall and, upon spotting their old discarded outfits strewn on the floor, tutted. They bent, retrieving them.

“You forgot to pick up your…”

They stopped.

The dark green trousers they had picked up bore large diamond shapes along one pant leg, a design most unusual. Textiles with red, green, and golden patterns pilled in the diamond holes, sealed in place with neat, tight lines of stitching. Saddle, passing back and forth—the sign of hand, not machine, stitch.

There’s talent here, they realized. Untapped potential.

The tailor cleared their throat.

“Excuse me, but have you ever considered taking up the needle and thread for a career…? If so, I might just have the apprenticeship for you.”

His Rose From Eight (part one)

Quick Summary:

A girl from the districts. A man who rules them. And a love that was never supposed to bloom.

Hope you love the first part xx

Coriolanus Snow POV:

Coriolanus Snow hated going to visit the districts, especially the lower district. He hated the people who seemed so ungrateful, while the capitol only made sure they survived. But he had to visit once in a while, it was his duty as the president of Panem.

But he wouldn’t go alone, no, he wasn’t going to be alone in this shithole. So his cousin, Tigris, walked beside him, arm linked into his. Tigris loved fashion and so he didn’t hesitate to bring her to district eight, where they produce clothes and textile products.

“Look Coriolanus, they are starving.”

Tigris pointed to two women sitting on the ground, searching through trash cans. It disgusted him, seeing people acting so inhuman, without any decency. He wanted to yell at the women to stand up and act decent, but he controlled himself and forced himself to answer Tigris.

“If they were working instead of sitting on the streets, they would have enough money to buy food, Tigris.”

He said, no empathy could be found in his voice. He thought the people of the districts were lazy sometimes, rather complaining about their hunger than working to get some bread on the table. Luckily Tigris stayed quiet for the rest of the walk while they passed more hungry citizens. 

“President Snow, it is a great pleasure.”

Factory Boss Oswald Krane appeared in his eyesight, while he strode towards him. Oswald Krane was a middle-aged man, one of the most fortunate persons in district eight. He didn’t have to work hours and hours in the factory, but he watched over those who did. They shook hands and afterwards he turned his attention to Tigris. They also shook hands and then Krane led them to the factory. The factory was the first stop in Coriolanus’ busy schedule and he just wanted it to be over with it.

“The workers are excited for your visit, president Snow, They feel honored.”

Krane told him, leading him through the front door of the factory. Machines could be heard and he heard several people coughing within the first few seconds. Coriolanus knew the workers couldn’t give a shit about his visit, they probably hated the capitol and every citizen. But they would be too scared to show it, so their fake smiles and demeanor were enough for him. At least they knew who was in charge of everything.

“So has the production increased?”

Coriolanus questioned while inspecting the workers. Their bodies were thin and vulnerable, he could see their bones and their faces were slim. Some capitol citizens paid a lot of money to look like that, but he rather have his workers with a little bit more fat on them, just so they can work harder.

“Yes, the production increased just like we planned.”

Kane explained proudly. A scream could be heard and it was clear a body part of a worker had been caught in a machine. He saw Tigris flinching and he knew she hated being here, seeing people in this state was hurting her.

“Are they eating enough?”

Coriolanus questioned again, pointing at one of the workers who looked like she hadn’t eaten in days. Kane stayed quiet for a while, just leading them through the factory.

“Enough to keep them working, sir.”

Kane answered but Coriolanus wasn’t content with it. He didn’t really care about the workers, but he wasn’t ruthless.

“Enough but not well.”

He contradicted, setting his firm gaze on the boss of the factory. He could see Kane swallowing and looking scared, but he quickly put his mask back on.

“We give them enough money to pay for food, some just rather spend it on something else.”

Kane answered, but Coriolanus knew he was hiding something. But then, his gaze found someone. A girl, sitting on a chair, her fingers around a piece of fabric and scissors in her other hand. She didn’t look like she was starving, she looked normal, almost like the ladies in the capitol. He could see her in the capitol, her looks were nothing like all the other workers. Kane caught the way Coriolanus’ gaze was set on the girl, so he took action.

“You there, come here!”

He barked at her, which made her body tense. She looked up to see her boss, Tigris and president Snow looking at her, but she didn’t move immediately.

“I said come here!”

Kane barked again and now she came into action. Slowly she walked over to the three of them, scared of what was going to happen. Kane grabbed her wrist and yanked her forward when she was into his reach.

“This one eats well enough.”

He said. Coriolanus hated the fact he addressed her like she was an object and not as the most beautiful person he had ever seen. Now that she was closer, he could inspect her face even better. He saw her blue eyes that looked scared and her full lips.

“And why is that?”

Coriolanus asked, now turning his attention to Krane.

“She works, knows how to keep her head down. But I’m sure she has connections on the black market, we give everyone around the same salary.”

Krane answered, still having a strong grip on her wrist.

“You can let go of her, Krane. I’m sure she won’t walk away.”

He ordered Krane and Krane looked shocked, but still let go of her wrist. He could see a light bruise forming on her wrist due to his strong grip, but she didn’t bulge.

“What’s your name?”

He asked her and she looked surprised that the question was meant for her.

“Seraphina.”

She said, her voice not sounding weak but careful. Seraphine, what a beautiful name, he thought. It was a name for the capitol, not the districts.

“President Snow, I think we have to continue our walk through.”

Krane sounded and Coriolanus wanted to punch him in his face. He just wants to have a conversation with the lady in front of him that he was very interested in, how dare he make him leave? He knew Krane wanted to talk about business later on the walk through and he didn’t need Tigris to be there with him. 

“Tigris, you can keep Seraphina company while I continue the walk through.”

He told Tigris and Seraphina seemed surprised. Kane was also surprised, but he hid it more well.

“Go back to work.”

He ordered Seraphina and she nodded, walking away from them. 

“I will be back shortly, just talk with her and get to know her.”

He told Tigris before continuing his walk with Kane.

Seraphina Corvelle POV

Seraphina wasn’t used to having company, especially not from people from the capitol. But Tigris seemed sweet, unlike her asshole boss Kane.

“What are you working on?”

Tigris questioned, sitting beside her on a wooden stool. Some peacekeepers stayed behind to watch over Tigris, to make sure she wasn’t going to be attacked by Seraphina with scissors or fabric.

“A dress, someone requested it from the capitol.”

Seraphina explained, showing her the fabric. It was a beautiful fabric and she wished she could make her own clothes from it, but that wasn’t allowed.

“I’m a fashion designer too.”

Tigris told her. Seraphian wanted to tell her she wasn’t a fashion designer, she was simply a worker, but she kept her mouth shut. She could get into trouble if she said those words to someone so important, someone so close to the president.

“Really? That’s so cool.”

Seraphina forced herself to sound interested, but she would rather have Tigris go away. She has enough money to earn.

“Yes, I love my job. Although Coriolanus says I don’t have to work anymore, but I argued that life without working is too boring.”

She didn’t know why, but hearing the first name of President Snow coming out of Tigris’ mouth, creating some feeling in her stomach. It felt too personal to hear his first name. She wished having the decision to work or not to work was something she could spend her time thinking about, here in the districts they don’t have a choice.

“Well it certainly keeps you occupied.”

Seraphine agreed, setting her scissors in the fabric.

Coriolans Snow POV:

Coriolanus sat in his office in the train they arrived in. He was tired after another dreadful day talking to factory bosses about production and the well -being of the workers. But he couldn’t get his mind off of one thing, or rather, one person. Seraphina from the first factory he visited still lingered in his mind and he was eager to know more about her. So he called in Tigris, who had spent quite some time talking to her. He walked out of his office into the large living area. Tigris was sitting on one of the couches, reading through a fashion magazine. It was ironic, reading about clothing trends in the capitol while you are visiting the district they make the clothes in.

“Hello Tigris.”

He announced his presence in the room and she looked up from her magazine. 

“I thought you would’ve been asleep by now, you had a long day.”

She replies, putting her magazine down. She was already in her nightgown, ready to go to bed.

“I just wanted to have a little chat with you before I go off to sleep. How was your conversation with Seraphina?”

Coriolanus hadn’t had any time to ask her about it after they left the factory, he was too busy. But now, he wants to know all the details. Tigris looked at him with a small smirk on her face, like she knew something.

“I knew you thought she was special.”

She said softly. 

“I don’t think she’s special. I just want to know what you talked about.”

He lied. He did think she was special, he knew he needed to speak to her in private.

“You still remember her name. You never remember the names of workers.”

She called him out and looked at him with a grin. He didn’t respond to that, he just looked at her waiting for her to tell him about the conversation.

“She was nice but timid. We talked a little about fashion and she showed me the dress she was working on. It was beautiful, she really has talent. I tried to ask her about her family but she didn’t really respond to that.”

Coriolanus made a mental note to ask her about her family the first time they would speak again. And they would speak again soon, he would make sure of it. 

Seraphina Corvelle POV:

The next morning, Seraphina sat in her usual spot in the factory. The dress was almost finished and she had to admit she had outdone herself, it was beautiful. She was happy with the result but her happiness quickly faded when her boss Krane walked up to her.

“You, come with me.”

He ordered and yanked her up by her wrist to stand up. She saw peacekeepers behind him and that made her scared. She hadn’t done anything wrong? Did she? Peacekeepers only handled people who did something wrong, they weren’t here for a nice chat. Her boss led her through the factory, peacekeepers walking close behind. The other workers looked up and looked terrified for what was going to happen to her. They stopped in front of the room that was completely off limits for workers, Kane’s office. 

“Inside.”

He barked and Seraphine quietly pushed the door open. Once she set a foot in the office, she saw the one person she didn’t expect to be here. President Snow. The door closed behind her, leaving her trapped in the room. There was a long silence, neither of them spoke. She could feel his eyes on her, studying her body which made her uncomfortable. Silently, she wrapped her arms around her body.

“Come sit.”

He said. It wasn’t a request, it was an order. Seraphina knew the difference. But the way he ordered it was different than how boss Kane ordered stuff. It was more gentle. Quietly she strode through the office and sat down on a chair. The chair was far more comfortable than the wooden chair she sat on while she worked.

“Do you know why you are here?”

Coriolanus asked her and grabbed two cups, filling them both with tea. He didn’t even ask her if she wanted any, but she guessed a president doesn’t have to ask anything.

“No.”

Seraphina said, trying her voice to sound steady and controlled. A small smirk tugged at the corner of his mouth, like that was the exact answer he expected. She avoided his gaze and noticed all the delicious food spread amongst the table. She was hungry, although she had quite a filling breakfast, but she wouldn’t admit that to the man in front of her. Unfortunately, he noticed her longing look.

“Are you hungry?”

He questioned and she waited a while before answering. It was a simple question, yet she had the feeling a lot of answers would be wrong.

“I eat what I’m given.”

She answered, finally meeting his gaze. He was already looking at her and again a smirk appeared.

“Clever answer.”

Coriolanus remarked and offered her a plate to put food on.

“Take it, I know you want it.”

Seraphina was done with fighting it and finally put some food on the plate, a mouthwatering looking pastry. It was something she hadn’t eaten in a long time, pastry’s were far too expensive. Quickly, she took a bite and enjoyed the sweet taste on her tongue.

“Tell me, Seraphina. When was the last time you ate something like this?”

He asked her, his voice filled with curiosity. His interest seemed genuine, but she couldn’t believe that the president was actually interested in her.

“A long time ago, but it tastes amazing.”

She answered him and continued to eat the pastry. He kept looking at her and said:

“I’m glad you like it. It’s from my favorite bakery, Madam Sweetness on-.”

“Cornelia Street."

She filled in the last past of his sentence and he looked at her surprised. Because in what world would she know where Madam Sweetness got her bakery? Seraphina knew she messed it up, now he was going to ask questions and she was sure he would demand answers.

“How do you know that?”

He questioned, sitting back down in the large chair he sat on when she came in. Seraphina set the half eaten pastry back on her plate and dapped her mouth with a napkin that laid next to her plate.

“I lived in the capitol.”

Tail-Wagging Innovation: The Rise of the Pet Bed Industry

In a world where pets are cherished as beloved family members, their comfort has become a priority for many households. Among the many accessories pampered pets enjoy, the humble pet bed has evolved into an essential item that blends functionality, comfort, and even fashion. At the heart of this transformation lies the modern pet bed factory—a hive of creativity, precision, and dedication to furry well-being.Get more news about pet bed factory,you can vist our website!

A typical day in a pet bed factory begins with raw materials. High-quality fabrics, memory foam, recycled polyester fills, and even orthopedic-grade materials arrive at the loading bays. Sustainability is no longer a luxury in this industry—it’s an expectation. Many factories now source eco-friendly or recycled materials to reduce environmental impact, appealing to increasingly conscientious pet owners.

Once materials are cataloged and inspected, the process transitions to the cutting stage. Automated machines equipped with laser precision carve out fabric patterns based on computer-aided designs. These designs consider everything from the size of the pet to the desired style, whether it’s a plush donut-style cushion or a sleek, modern orthopedic mat.

After cutting, it’s time to stitch. Highly trained seamstresses—or increasingly, robotic arms with surgical accuracy—assemble the beds with detailed stitching to ensure durability and safety. For round beds, patterns are sewn into a spiral to maintain shape. For orthopedic beds, layers of foam are carefully bonded and encased. Every seam is a promise: that the bed will withstand daily wear and tear from paws, claws, and teeth.

Quality control is a critical phase in the production line. Each bed is tested for resilience, comfort, and cleanliness. Zippers, seams, and fillers are inspected rigorously. Even aesthetic details, like fabric patterns or logo placement, are carefully reviewed. Some factories even employ scent testing to ensure the final product is odor-free and welcoming for sensitive pet noses.

But innovation doesn’t stop at production. Leading pet bed factories often operate R&D labs to test new designs—like temperature-regulating fabrics, waterproof linings, or customizable modular beds that grow with the pet. There’s a shift toward personalization, allowing pet parents to order monogrammed beds or choose colors that complement their home décor. For luxury brands, limited-edition collections in collaboration with designers are becoming common, further blurring the line between pet products and fashion.

The global pet bed market is booming, with increasing demand from both developed and emerging markets. E-commerce platforms have made it easier for niche brands and factory-direct suppliers to reach consumers worldwide. Many factories now offer dropshipping models or custom branding solutions for retailers looking to build their own pet product lines.

Behind the scenes, a pet bed factory is more than a place of manufacturing—it’s a blend of engineering, textile craftsmanship, and love for animals. Each finished product represents hours of thoughtful design and dedication, destined to become the cozy haven where pets curl up after a long day of play.

So next time you see a contented cat lounging or a dog snoring on a comfy cushion, just remember: that peaceful slumber was made possible by the skilled hands and smart machines of a pet bed factory.

Many members of the British Textile Machinery Association (BTMA) have over the years established leading positions in the areas of testing, instrumentation and machine control. A number of new developments in these fields will be showcased at this year’s ITMA Asia + CITME exhibition, which takes place in Singapore from October 28-31.BTMA members will showcase advanced innovations in testing, colour, and machine control at ITMA Asia + CITME in Singapore (28–31 October). Highlights include new colour research, LED colour booths, UV testing lamps, digital fabric handle testing, automated patterned fabric inspection, and a next-gen Martindale Motion tester, all enhancing textile quality and efficiency. “Many of our members are currently developing new technologies, either in-house or increasingly through joint projects, and there will be much to reveal by the time of ITMA Asia in Singapore,” says BTMA CEO Jason Kent. “Some of the most recent developments are really going beyond what has previously been possible.” New colour Verivide, for example, as a leader in colour measurement and management solutions, has been fascinated by the recent news that scientists appear to have discovered a completely new colour named OLO – not a variant or pigment, but a hue never before perceived by the human eye. “We had to take a closer look, because OLO marks a fascinating step forward in the science of colour perception,” says VeriVide Sales Director Adam Dakin. “It’s not just a breakthrough for vision research but may change the way we think about colour in design, technology and quality control.” The newly perceived colour does not exist on the traditional visible spectrum which means it’s not created by mixing wavelengths of light like red, green or blue. Instead, scientists achieved it by using precise laser stimulation directly on the retina, effectively bypassing the usual pathways the human visual system uses to interpret colour. “Currently, OLO can only be experienced under lab conditions but its discovery hints at a future where our understanding of vision – and our ability to manipulate it –expands dramatically,” says Adam. “Could this pave the way for broader applications in VR design, colour-critical manufacturing, or even new forms of digital colour communication? Only time will tell.” Eliminating mercury In a major change for colour assessment this February, the sale of all fluorescent lighting officially came to an end in the EU and UK, with potentially significant implications for everyone along the supply chain – from designers and fabric manufacturers through to merchandisers and window display artists. “The phase-out of fluorescent lamps has been in progress for some years because they contain mercury which can be damaging to health,” explains Adam. “Lamps containing mercury were banned for general use in August 2023, impacting lighting in homes, factories and retail environments, but an exemption was granted for specialist applications such as visual and digital colour assessment until this month. VeriVide has spent the last decade developing and optimising its industry-leading all-LED light booths as part of its ecosystem of products specifically designed for instantly communicating colour decisions, colour fastness gradings, test reports and more, incorporating the DigiEye and DigiView digital colour measurement systems. “What the ban means is we’ll no longer be able to manufacture fluorescent light booths,” says Adam. “Since its launch in 2023, Ultra-View all-LED technology has already been successfully adopted by leading retail brands including H&M, George by Asda, Marks & Spencer, NEXT, River Island and Tesco.”  Broader spectrum Q-Lab Corporation is meanwhile a global leader in lightfastness and weathering test equipment and services and has just launched a new breakthrough in UV testing – TUV-421 lamps.  This new light source, exclusive to Q-Lab, enables testing for colour changes and fade in materials whose colorants are susceptible to longer-wavelength UV and shorter-wavelength visible light. This includes pigments and dyes found in textiles, as well as plastics, paints and printing inks.  TUV-421 lamps help distribute a much broader spectrum of light, compared with typical UVA-340 lamps, while continuing to provide the same excellent spectral match for shortwave light.  Lightfastness and weathering durability can meanwhile be accurately determined in the compact, affordable, versatile and accurate Q-SUN xenon test chamber.  Using full-spectrum xenon arc lamps and optical filter systems, Q-SUN testers can reproduce direct daylight or sunlight-through-window-glass conditions and feature optional humidity control and water spray. The tactility challenge Just as elusive as the new colour OLO, is the concept of ‘fabric handle’ – the tactile sensation experienced when touching and manipulating fabric. Although very subjective, it is, however, a critical aspect of textile evaluation, but to date it’s been very subjective and one of the biggest challenges faced by designers and manufacturers is in describing and sharing information about fabric aesthetics before manufacturing, or without the costly and time-consuming process of transporting physical samples. These limitations are being overcome with the new Sentire fabric handle tester which has just been launched by Roaches International. “No two people will describe how a fabric feels in the same way and the lack of a common language to describe fabric tactility poses communication challenges across the complex global fashion and textile supply chain,” says Roaches International MD Sean O’Neill. “How do you objectively measure qualities like softness, smoothness, drape, and stiffness?” The answer is with the new Sentire. Haptic spatial system Roaches worked with specialists at the University of Leeds to develop the new finished fabric evaluation system which defines the tactile properties of fabrics via a haptic spatial system – similar, for example, to the way colour charts are digitally defined for colour palettes, or Tog values rate warmth. Fabric samples are placed into the Sentire to run a series of tests which generate quantitative fabric tactile property data akin to a fingerprint for the fabric, which can then be compared against other samples and communicated digitally to partners in different locations.  “This technology has the potential to impact the supply chain in a similar way to the spectrophotometer for the communication of colour,” says O’Neill. “We have had a fantastic initial response to the Sentire and its possibilities are huge. Not only can it be used to compare textile tactility globally, but we are also seeing interest from online retailers who want to accurately display the way a particular fabric drapes on the body.” Patterned fabric inspection The precise detection of defects during the production of fabrics has meanwhile recently been significantly advanced with the introduction of the latest WebSpector automated fabric inspection system by Shelton Vision. Building on its market leading vision system for plain, single colour textiles, Shelton’s patent-pending image processing techniques now recognise and adapt to complex patterns such as camouflage and even on fabrics with significant distortion and deformation.  Fabrics are not rigid and can be sheared or stretched while also being subject to local distortion, but the WebSpector system now successfully deals with such anomalies in real time to provide a reliable inspection process at the same levels as plain fabric.  The unique and advanced software techniques ensure a totally clean image, allowing the full detection of faults on fabrics running at high speeds. WebSpector systems have already been supplied to manufacturers of performance wear and high-end fashion, automotive interiors, denim, outdoor upholstery, sunscreen, mattress ticking, window dressings and even carbon fibre composites. The latest Webspector was introduced at ITMA 2023 in Milan to great acclaim and will be demonstrated for the first time in Asia at the Singapore exhibition. Abrasion and pilling testing  Martindale testing needs little introduction to textile manufacturers, being well established as the industry standard for abrasion and pilling testing since its initial development and introduction by James Heal back in the 1940s. For 2025, however, James Heal’s development team have taken a fresh look at this classic instrument and the result is the new Martindale Motion. This redesigned nine-station Martindale instrument with individual lifting heads now offers the flexibility to run each station independently for carrying out different textile tests simultaneously. Multiple textiles can be tested at the same time through to conclusion without intervention. Once set up, the Martindale Motion can be left running with the sample holders automatically lifting at the required evaluation points, freeing up the operator’s time to do other work without the need to return until the abrasion or pilling test is fully completed, including overnight. Each sample is kept in-tact at the end point for evaluation and checking, reducing queries on grading and the potential need for re-testing. Further refinements include a new hinged access to change the self-aligning drive pins, allowing quick and safe switching between tests. Designed and manufactured in the UK, the James Heal Martindale range has seen numerous updates, models and innovations over the years, such as touchscreen and user-friendly software, best-in-class safety features combined with the signature near silent running of this staple lab instrument. Added to this have been the introduction of the DurAbrasion multi-function testing machine, later followed by the market-leading evolution, the AquAbrasion wet abrasion tester launched in 2019. The Martindale Motion, however, is now taking productivity and efficiency to a higher level than ever before. Pushing the boundaries “These BTMA companies continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible in the area of textile testing,” says Jason Kent in conclusion. “They are each making solid contributions to the quality and performance properties of today’s textile products, and just as importantly, enabling manufacturers to prove their claims. We look forward to meeting customers old and new in Singapore.” Founded in 1940, the British Textile Machinery Association actively promotes British textile machinery manufacturers and their products to the world.

Many members of the British Textile Machinery Association (BTMA) have over the years established leading positions in the areas of testing, instrumentation and machine control. A number of new developments in these fields will be showcased at this year’s ITMA Asia + CITME exhibition, which takes place in Singapore from October 28-31.BTMA members will showcase advanced innovations in testing, colour, and machine control at ITMA Asia + CITME in Singapore (28–31 October). Highlights include new colour research, LED colour booths, UV testing lamps, digital fabric handle testing, automated patterned fabric inspection, and a next-gen Martindale Motion tester, all enhancing textile quality and efficiency. “Many of our members are currently developing new technologies, either in-house or increasingly through joint projects, and there will be much to reveal by the time of ITMA Asia in Singapore,” says BTMA CEO Jason Kent. “Some of the most recent developments are really going beyond what has previously been possible.” New colour Verivide, for example, as a leader in colour measurement and management solutions, has been fascinated by the recent news that scientists appear to have discovered a completely new colour named OLO – not a variant or pigment, but a hue never before perceived by the human eye. “We had to take a closer look, because OLO marks a fascinating step forward in the science of colour perception,” says VeriVide Sales Director Adam Dakin. “It’s not just a breakthrough for vision research but may change the way we think about colour in design, technology and quality control.” The newly perceived colour does not exist on the traditional visible spectrum which means it’s not created by mixing wavelengths of light like red, green or blue. Instead, scientists achieved it by using precise laser stimulation directly on the retina, effectively bypassing the usual pathways the human visual system uses to interpret colour. “Currently, OLO can only be experienced under lab conditions but its discovery hints at a future where our understanding of vision – and our ability to manipulate it –expands dramatically,” says Adam. “Could this pave the way for broader applications in VR design, colour-critical manufacturing, or even new forms of digital colour communication? Only time will tell.” Eliminating mercury In a major change for colour assessment this February, the sale of all fluorescent lighting officially came to an end in the EU and UK, with potentially significant implications for everyone along the supply chain – from designers and fabric manufacturers through to merchandisers and window display artists. “The phase-out of fluorescent lamps has been in progress for some years because they contain mercury which can be damaging to health,” explains Adam. “Lamps containing mercury were banned for general use in August 2023, impacting lighting in homes, factories and retail environments, but an exemption was granted for specialist applications such as visual and digital colour assessment until this month.

The Beauty Behind the Fabric: Rediscovering Craft Through Custom Wooden Printing Blocks

By the Editor

As someone who has spent years reviewing textiles, surface designs, and printed fabrics, I often feel I’ve seen it all. My trained eye usually catches every detail—machine vs. handmade, synthetic dyes vs. natural pigments, commercial replication vs. artisanal intent. But every so often, something breaks through the noise and reminds me why I fell in love with textiles in the first place.

This time, it was a modest purchase: a few yards of cotton fabric picked up at a weekend market. It featured earthy florals, whimsical elephants, and an elegant paisley border—subtle, beautiful, and somehow… different.

The colors were softly faded, the texture rich and organic. And on closer inspection, I spotted something no digital printer could produce: slight irregularities, tiny ink variations, and a handmade rhythm. That’s when I realized I was holding something special—fabric printed with custom wooden printing blocks.

The Irresistible Charm of Block Printing

In a world of digital design and mass production, block printing feels like a breath of fresh air. It’s tactile, intentional, and deeply human.

The process begins with a simple drawing, transferred and hand-carved onto blocks made from woods like teak or sheesham. These custom wooden printing blocks are then used to manually stamp dye onto fabric—one press at a time, by hand, in a careful dance of alignment and repetition.

Each press tells a story. There are no shortcuts. No automation. Just the steady hands of artisans and the timeless relationship between wood, ink, and cloth.

When Fabric Becomes a Story

That piece of fabric I bought wasn't just well-designed—it was soulful. The slight misalignment of a petal, the natural bleed of the dye, the soft touch of the cotton—it all spoke of care and craftsmanship. What might be considered "imperfections" in mass manufacturing were, in this case, marks of authenticity.

For me, it was more than a textile. It was a conversation between past and present. It was tradition you could touch.

Curiosity Sparked, Source Traced

Intrigued, I returned to the boutique to ask about the fabric’s origin. The shop owner smiled knowingly: “Block-printed in Rajasthan—done by hand using wooden blocks.” That was all I needed to begin my research.

Soon, I found myself deep in the world of RR Printing Tools—a name I'd heard before in artisan and textile circles, but never explored in depth. As it turns out, many of the finest block-printed fabrics I’d admired over the years had one thing in common: they were brought to life using custom wooden printing blocks from RR Printing Tools.

RR Printing Tools: Keeping Craft Alive

Based in Rajasthan, RR Printing Tools is quietly—and impressively—upholding a centuries-old tradition. They specialize in designing and carving custom wooden printing blocks for textile artists, fashion designers, and creative studios around the world.

Their work is not only technically precise but artistically beautiful. Whether it's a traditional Indian motif or a contemporary custom design, each block is hand-carved by master artisans with extraordinary skill.

What sets RR Printing Tools apart is their flexibility. They’re just as comfortable crafting traditional paisleys as they are transforming modern logos or illustrations into usable printing tools. They collaborate directly with their clients, ensuring each block is tailored for its intended fabric, ink type, and design vision.

This ability to bridge heritage with innovation makes them a cornerstone in the modern resurgence of hand-block printing.

A Quiet Luxury in a Loud World

Holding that block-printed fabric reminded me of a simple truth: in an age of hyper-efficiency and mass production, the handmade holds a different kind of value. It’s slower. It’s rarer. And it’s infinitely more meaningful.

RR Printing Tools makes that experience possible—one custom block at a time. Their commitment to craftsmanship, sustainability, and collaboration is what allows small brands, artisans, and textile lovers like myself to work with tools that aren’t just functional—they’re beautiful in their own right.

Final Thoughts

That unexpected market find turned into more than just a fabric purchase—it became a doorway into a world where artistry still matters. Where prints are not churned out by machines but brought to life by hand. And where a company like RR Printing Tools is ensuring that custom wooden printing blocks remain a vital part of the creative process.

If you're a designer, maker, or simply someone who values authenticity in what you wear or create, I encourage you to look beyond the surface. Find the story. Seek the hand behind the print. And when you do, there’s a good chance RR Printing Tools will be part of that journey.

Because sometimes, the tool behind the art is a masterpiece too.

Why Cogged V Belts Are the Backbone of Efficient Industrial Power Transmission

When it comes to industrial machinery, every component plays a crucial role — but some are so essential that their failure can bring an entire operation to a halt. One such unsung hero is the cogged V belt. Whether you're running a manufacturing plant, an HVAC system, or an automotive assembly, these belts ensure that power is transmitted reliably, efficiently, and without excessive wear. 

The evolution of industrial belts has come a long way, and the cogged belt is a testament to how small design improvements can lead to major performance gains in the field. 

What Is a Cogged V Belt? 

A cogged V belt is a type of power transmission belt with notched (or cogged) inner surfaces. These cogs make the belt more flexible, allowing it to bend around smaller pulley diameters without sacrificing performance. The cogs also help dissipate heat more effectively, which extends belt life and reduces energy losses due to slippage. 

Compared to standard V belts, cogged belts offer better grip, run cooler, and are especially suitable for high-speed or high-torque applications. 

Advantages of Using Raw Edge Cogged Belts 

One of the most popular variations in this category is the raw edge cogged belt. As the name suggests, these belts do not have the traditional fabric cover on the edges, allowing for a firmer grip and reduced belt elongation. 

Here are some key benefits: 

Increased Power Transmission Efficiency The design of raw edge belts provides more surface contact with the pulley, reducing slippage and improving performance. 

Reduced Heat Buildup The open edges allow for better heat dissipation, which is especially useful in high-speed or high-temperature industrial environments. 

Longer Operational Life These belts wear out more slowly than conventional belts, meaning fewer replacements and reduced maintenance costs. 

Space-Saving Design Their ability to run over smaller pulleys means machines can be designed more compactly without compromising output. 

Where Are Cogged Belts Typically Used? 

Due to their flexibility and performance, cogged belts are used across a wide range of industries: 

Textile Machinery – Ensures smooth and precise movement of rollers. 

Automotive Engines – Used in fan drives, alternators, and AC compressors. 

CNC Machines – Offers precise, consistent motion under load. 

HVAC Systems – Helps reduce energy consumption in fans and compressors. 

Agricultural Equipment – Delivers durable performance in rugged environments. 

In any application where space is limited or the load is high, cogged V belts are often the go-to solution. 

Choosing the Right Cogged Belt Manufacturers 

When sourcing belts for industrial use, quality and consistency matter. Not all cogged belt manufacturers use the same grade of materials or maintain the same level of engineering precision. Here’s what to look for when choosing a manufacturer: 

Material Quality – Ensure the belts are made from high-grade rubber compounds and reinforced with quality tensile cords. 

Dimensional Accuracy – A well-manufactured belt will fit perfectly, preventing slippage and wear. 

Performance Testing – Reputable manufacturers test their products under real-world load conditions. 

Certifications – Look for compliance with ISO standards or other industrial benchmarks. 

Customization Support – Some applications require specific dimensions or materials — working with a manufacturer who offers customization can be a big advantage. 

Common Mistakes to Avoid During Belt Installation 

Even the best-quality belt can underperform or fail prematurely if not installed correctly. Here are a few tips: 

Avoid Over-Tensioning – This increases stress on bearings and shortens belt life. 

Align Pulleys Correctly – Misaligned pulleys cause uneven wear and noise. 

Keep It Clean – Dirt or oil on the belt or pulley surface can reduce grip. 

Inspect Regularly – Early signs of cracking, fraying, or uneven wear should not be ignored. 

Proper installation and routine maintenance can extend the life of your industrial belts and reduce downtime significantly. 

The Role of Cogged Belts in Energy Efficiency 

With industries pushing towards more energy-efficient operations, even power transmission components are under the spotlight. The reduced slip, lower heat buildup, and smoother operation of raw edge cogged belts contribute directly to energy savings. 

While the difference might seem small in a single machine, across a full production floor, the efficiency gains can translate to significant cost reductions over time. 

In today’s demanding industrial landscape, efficiency, durability, and reliability aren’t optional — they’re essential. Choosing the right power transmission solution can make a huge difference in both productivity and maintenance costs. Whether you’re upgrading old systems or planning a new setup, integrating high-performance cogged V belts is a smart investment. 

“For businesses looking to source dependable, performance-tested cogged belts and other industrial solutions, Jigna Sales Corporation is a trusted name in the field. With a focus on quality, supply consistency, and customer satisfaction, they cater to a wide range of industries with products engineered for real-world demands”.

The Fabric Inspection Process: A Step-by-Step Breakdown

In the intricate world of textile and apparel manufacturing, the journey from raw fiber to a finished garment is long and multifaceted. Each stage presents opportunities for errors, but none is arguably more critical than the fabric inspection process. At RAQC Services, we understand that this is not just a formality; it's the bedrock of quality control, ensuring that the very foundation of a product—the fabric itself—meets the exacting standards required for customer satisfaction and brand reputation.

Imagine a beautifully designed dress, only to find a glaring flaw in the fabric once it's worn. Or a perfectly constructed pair of jeans with inconsistent shading. These seemingly minor issues, if unchecked at the fabric stage, can lead to significant waste, costly reworks, and ultimately, a damaged brand image. This is precisely why a meticulous fabric inspection process is indispensable. It acts as an early warning system, identifying and addressing potential issues before they become deeply embedded and expensive to rectify in the production line.

At RAQC Services, our fabric inspection process is designed to be comprehensive, systematic, and highly effective. Here's a step-by-step breakdown of how we ensure the quality of your fabrics:

Step 1: Preparation – Setting the Stage for Precision

Before any fabric roll is unrolled, proper preparation is crucial. This initial phase sets the groundwork for an accurate and efficient inspection.

✅ Environmental Control: Fabric inspection should occur in a well-lit, clean, and appropriately ventilated environment. Consistent lighting (often Cool White light, mimicking natural daylight) is vital to accurately assess color variations and subtle defects. The inspection table or machine should be positioned to ensure a viewing angle of 45-60 degrees for optimal visibility.

✅ Tools and Equipment: Essential tools include a fabric inspection machine (equipped with proper tension control and lighting), measuring tapes or calibrated rulers, defect tagging tools (stickers or markers), a GSM cutter (for weight checks), and a clear, detailed inspection checklist.

✅ Reference Materials: Crucially, approved bulk dye lot standards, physical samples of the approved fabric (for color, hand-feel, and construction comparison), and the client's specific quality specifications (including permissible defect points per standard yardage, width, and length tolerances) must be readily available.

Step 2: Sample Selection – Representing the Whole

It's rarely feasible or necessary to inspect 100% of every fabric roll. Therefore, a robust sampling plan is implemented to ensure a representative portion of the shipment is inspected. Common practices include:

✅ Random Selection: Rolls are randomly selected from the incoming lot to avoid bias. A minimum of 10% of the total yardage per shipment is often recommended, though this can vary based on the client's risk assessment and the type of fabric. For knitted fabrics, a minimum of 10% of rolls from each lot might be examined for weight.

✅ Early Inspection: Ideally, fabric inspection should commence when at least 80% of the good or lot has been received. This allows for a comprehensive assessment of the bulk production.

Step 3: Initial Verification – The First Glance

Once a roll is selected and mounted on the inspection machine, several initial checks are performed:

✅ Packaging and Identification: Verify that identification stickers, shipping marks, packing lists, and packing quantity align with the purchase order and specifications.

✅ Roll Integrity: Visually check the overall condition of the roll for any external damage, crushes, or signs of mishandling that could indicate internal fabric damage.

✅ Length and Width Verification: Carefully measure the length of the fabric against the supplier's ticketed tag. Any deviation is documented and reported. The fabric width is also checked from selvage to selvage against the specified standard, with any discrepancies noted.

✅ GSM (Grams per Square Meter) Check: For most fabrics, weight is a critical indicator of density, composition, and construction. A sample is cut using a GSM cutter and weighed accurately. This is compared against the specified GSM, ensuring the fabric meets the intended use requirements for warmth, durability, or comfort.

Step 4: Detailed Visual Inspection – The Core of the Process

This is where the majority of defects are identified. The fabric is unrolled at a controlled speed (typically not more than 15 yards per minute) across the lighted inspection table. The inspector meticulously scans the fabric for various flaws.

✅ Defect Identification: This involves looking for a wide array of defects, including:

Weaving/Knitting Defects: Slubs, holes, broken ends/picks, missing yarns, barré marks (horizontal or vertical streaks), bowing (distortion of weft threads), skewing (diagonal distortion), mispicks, floats, coarse/fine yarn, tight/loose ends.

Dyeing/Printing Defects: Shade variations (side-to-side, end-to-end, or within the roll), color bleeding, misprints, unlevel dyeing, streaks, patches, color spots, color bleeding, and shade continuity issues within a roll (checking shade variation between the center and selvage, and the beginning, middle, and end).

Finishing Defects: Stains, oil spots, watermarks, creases, wrinkles, pilling, uneven finishes, odor (indicating chemical residue or improper processing), and hand-feel inconsistencies.

Construction Defects: Inconsistent fabric density, irregular texture, or poor fabric hand (how it feels to the touch) compared to the approved sample.

✅ Defect Marking and Classification: When a defect is found, it is immediately flagged on the selvage (edge) of the fabric using a sticker or marker. Defects are classified based on severity and size, usually using a standardized system like the 4-Point System. This system assigns penalty points (1 to 4) based on the defect's length and impact, allowing for a quantitative assessment of fabric quality. Only major defects that would impact the final product are typically penalized.

✅ Repeat Measurement (for yard-dyed or printed fabrics): If the fabric has a pattern or print, the repeat measurement is taken at the beginning, middle, and end of selected rolls to ensure consistency.

Step 5: Performance and Lab Testing (as required) – Beyond the Visual

While visual inspection is crucial, certain quality parameters require laboratory testing to verify performance and compliance. These tests are conducted on selected samples from the inspected rolls.

✅ Colorfastness Tests: To assess how well the fabric retains its color when exposed to various conditions (washing, rubbing, light exposure, perspiration).

✅ Shrinkage Test: Measures how much the fabric changes in size and shape after washing. This is critical for garment fit and stability.

✅ Strength Testing: (e.g., tensile strength, tear strength, bursting strength) to evaluate the fabric's durability and resistance to breakage.

✅ Pilling Resistance Test: Assesses the fabric's propensity to form small balls of fiber on its surface (pills).

✅ Dimensional Stability Test: Measures how well the fabric retains its shape after washing or exposure to heat.

✅ pH Value and Harmful Substances: For certain applications, testing for pH balance, presence of azo dyes, formaldehyde content, and other restricted substances (e.g., in accordance with OEKO-TEX Standard 100 or REACH regulations) is vital for consumer safety and compliance.

✅ Fiber Composition Analysis: Verifies that the fabric's fiber content matches the label, often done through burn tests or chemical analysis.

Step 6: Documentation and Reporting – The Record of Quality

Every step of the inspection process is meticulously documented. This ensures traceability, accountability, and provides valuable data for continuous improvement.

✅ Detailed Inspection Report: This comprehensive report includes:

Date of inspection, client, and supplier details.

Fabric type, color, quantity inspected, and roll numbers.

Detailed list of identified defects, their location, size, and assigned penalty points (e.g., using the 4-Point System score).

Measurements taken (length, width, GSM) and any deviations from specifications.

Results of any lab tests performed.

Photographic evidence of major defects.

Overall pass/fail status for each inspected roll and the entire lot based on the client's acceptance criteria (e.g., maximum allowable points per 100 square yards).

✅ Communication: The inspection report is promptly shared with the client and, if applicable, the supplier. This facilitates quick decision-making regarding acceptance, rejection, or necessary corrective actions.

Step 7: Decision and Action – From Inspection to Improvement

Based on the inspection report, the client can make informed decisions.

✅ Acceptance: If the fabric meets all specified quality standards and passes the inspection criteria.

✅ Rejection: If the fabric exhibits an unacceptable number of defects or fails critical performance tests, it is rejected, and a replacement from the supplier is often required.

✅ Remediation: In some cases, minor defects might be repairable (e.g., through mending or spotting) or manageable during the cutting and sewing stages, provided they are clearly marked.

✅ Feedback Loop: The inspection data provides crucial feedback to the fabric supplier, enabling them to understand and rectify issues at their source, leading to long-term quality improvement throughout the supply chain.
