Common cutting mistakes are

1. Wrong patterns:
Pattern modification is not done based on fabric shrinkage report or FIT comments is not incorporated in production patterns. This kind of mistake majorly happens where there is no standard procedure of pattern marking and pattern handover to cutting department. This kind of mistakes can also happen due to carelessness cutting workers or having little knowledge about patterns and its effects in production. 

2. Cutting a wrong size ratio:
It might be a result of carelessness of the workers.

3. Fabric received without prior quality check and approval based on test report:
Again, this is a result of not following standard procedure of fabric issue to cutting department. Not making shade band for fabrics with shade variation. 

4. Missing notch mark:
This may be a result of carelessness of employees. For example: - Notch mark is not given at desired position of the pattern or there is notch mark in patterns but cutter miss to cut notches in fabric lay.

5. Numbering mistakes:
Workers are not trained for the work or they are carelessness.
