What tools do I need besides the pattern?

Troubleshooting

Difficulty determining the correct size

Always measure your bust, waist, and hips and compare them to the New Look size chart rather than your retail clothing size.

Fabric bunching at seams

Check that your needle size is appropriate for the fabric weight and ensure the machine tension is correctly balanced.

Pieces do not fit together correctly

Double-check that you have transferred all notches and markings from the pattern paper to the fabric precisely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting, ensure you have your measurements taken, as sewing patterns often differ from ready-to-wear sizing. Always press your pattern pieces flat if they arrive folded, and consider tracing the pattern onto tracing paper if you wish to preserve the original master sheet for multiple size adjustments. For long-term care of the finished garments, follow the specific care instructions associated with the fabric you choose to use. Always perform a test stitch on a scrap piece of your chosen fabric to ensure your machine tension is correct for the specific weight of the garment you are constructing.
