Fabrics relaxation means relaxing fabrics from its roll-type tie. Making sure the fabric is totally relaxed at nature temperature before the cutting section is important, which is useful to keep the fabric's dimensional stability after cutting.
The following are the general way to see about the fabric relaxing method:

As you can see, fabric relaxing is a necessary process that should be carefully treated. Getting the shape of the fabric, the measurement of the fabric depends on the correct behavior of the fabric. Fabric relaxation help to keep fabric shape and measurement the same after cutting.

The time of fabric relaxation depends on the nature of the fabric and the buyer’s requirements or their fabric relaxation. However, the long time to wait is really a waste of time before cutting, thus modern mills turn to the help of fabric relaxing machines, which can save the laying time greatly.
