Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure you have a flat cutting surface and sharp fabric shears. Before cutting into your fashion fabric, it is recommended to press your pattern tissue with a dry, cool iron to remove any creases from the packaging. Select your size based on the measurement chart provided on the back of the envelope, rather than your ready-to-wear size. Keep the instruction booklet handy throughout the process, and store the paper pattern pieces in a plastic sleeve or designated envelope after use to keep them crisp for future projects. Always perform a test fit with a mock-up if you are unsure about final sizing adjustments.
