Cut and Sew done in house by Draper Knitting Company is basic.

Draper Knitting also has the capability of cut and sew operations that help customers develop high quality blankets. With their custom blanket program, they are able to create jacquard patterns based on logos or desired patterns. Once the exact fabric is made, the fabric is then cut and the edges are seamed. The blankets then can be packaged and shipped directly to the customer. Draper Knitting also cuts and sews many of their products for their finished consumer product line. These products include but are not limited to: Sleep Liners, Pillow Case Liners, Eye Pillows, Shoulder Wraps and Blankets.
