Input
- What went in
- 6 cm fabric strips ironed with paper stiffener
Activity
To prevent cumulative alignment errors in full-scale assembly, the team implemented a small-batch testing approach using six-piece clusters. Utilizing 6 cm fabric strips ironed with paper stiffener, each set was stitched and pressed to verify whether the final visible area consistently hit the target 4 cm square. Mastering the technique on smaller sub-assemblies minimized material waste, allowed for real-time technique adjustments, and built the operational confidence needed before scaling up to larger fabric panels.
Outcome
Each six-piece set was stitched and pressed, then checked for whether the visible area consistently hit the 4 cm target.
(We measured it)
Learnings
Practising on small six-piece sets reduced material waste and allowed the technique to be adjusted before scaling up to larger panels.
