💡 QC Insight for Buyers

In garment manufacturing, “manual alignment” is the enemy of consistency. A simple sewing jig costs almost nothing to produce but eliminates 99% of alignment errors. When briefing your supplier, don’t just ask them to “be careful”; explicitly ask them to **”provide a photo of the sewing jig used for Velcro placement.” If they don’t have one, their alignment will never be consistent across a bulk order.
