FAQs

What type of fabric should I use?

The pattern is designed for knit fabrics with good stretch and recovery, such as cotton knits, jersey, or ponte.

What is the seam allowance?

Check the pattern instructions for the specific seam allowance. It's usually 1/4 inch or 3/8 inch.

Can I use a serger to sew this top?

Yes, a serger can be used to finish the seams for a more professional finish, but a regular sewing machine is sufficient.

How do I choose the correct size?

Measure your bust, waist, and hips, and compare them to the size chart provided with the pattern. Consider your body shape and desired fit when choosing a size.

What if I run out of thread?

Use a matching thread color to continue sewing your top.

How do I prevent the edges of the fabric from rolling?

Use a serger, or sew a narrow hem.

Troubleshooting

Seams are puckering.

Adjust your sewing machine tension or use a walking foot to feed the fabric evenly.

Fabric is stretching out of shape during sewing.

Use a ballpoint needle and avoid pulling the fabric while sewing. Consider using a stretch stitch.

The top doesn't fit correctly.

Double-check the measurements and compare them to the pattern. Make any necessary adjustments to the pattern or the garment.
