Clothing markers and cutters may do some or all of the following:

• mark the size, sewing information and codes on the fabric or worksheet
• work out how much fabric is needed
• arrange pattern pieces on fabric
• mark pattern outlines onto fabric
• cut fabric by hand, with electric hand-held cutting machines or by using computer-controlled equipment
• bundle pieces of fabric together and store them in order of size and colour.

Depending on the size and type of clothing company, the work of clothing markers and cutters may be two separate jobs. This is most likely to be the case in larger clothing factories, where the marking is often done on a computer. Alternatively, cutting may be a minor part of the job if the company is small.
