Cut and sew jobs in the United States declined steeply after 1993. And with the recent resurgence of the US textile and apparel industry, that important part of the supply chain still has some catching up to do to keep up with demand as more manufacturers continue to seek ways to reshore to the US. This cut and sew factory promises to help fill that supply chain gap. The industry is looking forward to see an expansion of cut and sew in the United States since for every one spinning job there are 16 sewing jobs downstream. It also allows the industry to reclaim jobs that have wandered offshore over the years.
