textile-pattern-making-machine-operator Occupational skill for the role 'textile pattern making machine operator' (also: textile pattern making machine setter, textile pattern making machinist, textile pattern making machine tender, textile pattern machine operator, textile pattern making operator). Use when the user asks for typical textile pattern making machine operator work such as: Test patterns by making and fitting sample garments.; Draw details on outlined parts to indicate where parts are to be joined, as well as the positions of pleats, pockets, buttonholes, and other features, using computers or drafting instruments.; Determine the best layout of pattern pieces to minimize waste of material, and mark fabric accordingly.

Textile Pattern Making Machine Operator

Textile pattern making machine operators create patterns, designs and decoration for textiles and fabrics using machines and equipment. They choose the materials and check the quality of the textiles both before and after their work.
