Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure you have a clean, flat surface for cutting your fabric. Always press your pattern tissue lightly with a cool, dry iron if it is wrinkled from the packaging. When selecting fabrics, follow the suggestions provided in the guide to ensure the weight and drape of the textile match the intended structure of the garment. For care, once the garment is finished, follow the maintenance instructions specific to the fabric you chose. Keep your master pattern pieces stored in a cool, dry place to prevent them from tearing or degrading over time.
