Troubleshooting
Pattern pieces are difficult to cut accurately
Use sharp fabric shears and pattern weights instead of pins to keep the tissue from shifting on the fabric.
The garment does not fit as expected
Verify your body measurements against the back of the pattern envelope before cutting and consider making a mock-up with muslin fabric first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure you have a workspace large enough to lay out your fabric and the pattern pieces flat. Use pattern weights or pins to keep the pieces steady during cutting. This pattern is compatible with most standard domestic sewing machines. For care, keep the pattern tissue in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent brittleness over time. If the tissue becomes wrinkled, use a dry, low-heat iron to smooth it out before laying it over your fabric.
