FAQs
What skill level is required for Simplicity S9815?
This pattern has an 'Easy' sew rating, making it suitable for beginner sewers with basic sewing machine knowledge.
What types of fabric are recommended for this pattern?
Medium-weight woven fabrics such as cotton, cotton blends, linen, and home décor fabrics are generally recommended. Always check the pattern envelope for specific fabric suggestions.
How long will it take to receive this pattern?
This item is stored in a third-party warehouse, which may result in longer dispatch times. Please allow extra time for delivery.
Can I make the tablecloth and topper in different fabrics?
Yes, the pattern specifically calls for contrast fabric bands, allowing you to use different fabrics for a layered effect. You can also choose different fabrics for separate items like the runner and placemats.
Are the chair pads one size fits all?
The pattern provides instructions for ruffled chair pads with ties. While the ties allow for some adjustment, you may need to measure your specific chairs to ensure a good fit and adjust the tie length if necessary.
What additional materials will I need besides fabric?
You will typically need thread, interfacing (if specified), ribbon or trim for some views, and possibly pins, scissors, and a sewing machine.
How do I care for the finished items?
Care instructions depend on the fabric chosen. Generally, machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and tumble dry low or air dry. Refer to fabric manufacturer guidelines.
Troubleshooting
Fabric doesn't lay flat or looks wrinkled after washing.
Ensure fabrics were pre-washed and pressed thoroughly before cutting. Use the correct interfacing if specified in the pattern for stability.
Seams are puckering during sewing.
Check your sewing machine tension and ensure you are using the correct needle size and type for your fabric. Slow down your sewing speed.
Contrast bands don't align correctly.
Double-check that pattern pieces were cut accurately and pinned securely before sewing. Ensure the fabric grainline was followed correctly.
Ruffles look uneven or don't have enough fullness.
Review the instructions for gathering. Ensure you are using the correct stitch length and tension for gathering stitches, and pull the bobbin threads evenly.
Chair pad ties are too short or too long.
Measure the circumference of the chair where the ties will fasten before cutting them. Adjust the length as needed based on your chair size.
