FAQs

Does this pattern include seam allowances?

Are the instructions in other languages?

Troubleshooting

Fabric slipping while cutting pattern pieces

Use pattern weights instead of pins to keep the paper stable, or use a rotary cutter on a self-healing mat.

Difficulty matching notches

Use a tailor's chalk to mark the notch locations on the wrong side of your fabric before you begin sewing.

Inconsistent seam allowance

Use a magnetic seam guide or apply a piece of masking tape to your machine's throat plate at the correct measurement line.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before beginning, ensure you have measured your body dimensions accurately to select the correct size within range A. Lay the pattern pieces out on a flat, clean surface and iron them on a low, dry setting to remove any creases from the packaging. When cutting your fabric, use sharp sewing shears and ensure you transfer all notches and marking points to your fabric pieces, as these are critical for the successful assembly of the garment. For care, keep the paper pattern pieces stored in a dry, cool environment away from direct sunlight to prevent the paper from becoming brittle, and always double-check your sewing machine tension settings before working with the main fabric.
