Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before beginning, ensure your sewing machine is set for standard garment construction and that you have appropriate presser feet, such as a zipper foot if the design requires one. Always check your measurements against the size chart provided on the pattern envelope to determine the necessary adjustments before cutting your fabric. To preserve the pattern tissue for future use, iron it on a low, dry setting if wrinkled and store it flat or loosely rolled in its original packaging.
