Norwegian term

sailrasane

Norwegian to English Tech/Engineering IT (Information Technology) textile production software
It's in a piece transcribed from a video (which also contains some English words and typos).
It concerns improvements in the textile on-demand production industry.

Sentence: ..."så er det snakk om mm, som vi kan feste sailrasane på.
Any ideas whether this is literally a technical expression for textiles for sails, or is it an idiomatic expression meaning something like "we can now set store by mm" [as opposed to a previously much larger leeway when cutting textile]?
Thanks in advance asap.
Proposed translations (English)
2 sail remnants (from "seiltrasene"

The transcriber has said that the video is not properly audible at the point in question, so I'll wait and see whether any feedback is given, i.e. if the actual interviewee repeats what was actually said. If not, I'll close the question with thanks.

seilremsene?
Helen Johnson (asker) Feb 7:
Further to my previous comments, my client's client is now investigating the meaning/typo, so please disregard this question and I'll fill you in once I know.
Helen Johnson (asker) Feb 7:
I should also add that I've asked my client (other questions too) but their client isn't particularly forthcoming at the moment. I think they need to go back to the transcriber or the interviewee, but...
Helen Johnson (asker) Feb 7:
Thank you for your suggestion, Arne-Olav! In case it makes a difference, it concerns the use of Lectra on Demand and Furniture on Demand. More than 1 person's been asked questions about their experience of using this software, and this was one of the responses (a bit out of context in my view).

sail remnants (from "seiltrasene"

Always difficult to guess when the source is (highly) questionable, but what I read with (some) certainty, is "and so we are talking about mm (i.e. very small area), that we can fasten the sail xxx to".
Then the guesswork is to figure what word is behind "rasane". Could it be "trasane"? Which would mean the remnants, the rags, the torn sails.
