Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure you have measured yourself accurately according to the size chart on the envelope, as standard pattern sizing differs from retail clothing. Select your fabric and notions (such as lining, interfacing, and buttons) before cutting the pattern tissue. After cutting, keep the remaining tissue pieces stored flat to prevent tearing. When ironing, always use a press cloth to protect the paper pattern pieces if you are tracing them, and avoid high-heat settings on the pattern tissue itself to prevent melting or damage.
