Stripes, dots and waves – these are just some of the many patterns our clothes can have. When clothes are being created, it usually takes tedious manual work to avoid pattern breaks at the seams. “The clothing industry has a lot of potential to automate and improve certain processes.”, says Katja Wolff. She has developed an algorithm that automatically calculates how sewing patterns need to be positioned on a fabric, so the textile prints transition symmetrically at the seams.
