Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure you have a clear, flat surface for cutting your fabric pieces accurately. It is highly recommended to iron your fabric before pinning the pattern pieces to avoid uneven seams. For compatibility, ensure your sewing machine is threaded correctly and you are using the needle type appropriate for the weight of your chosen fabric. To care for your finished garments, always refer to the care labels on your selected fabrics; washing the fabric before sewing is strongly advised to account for any potential shrinkage before the final garment is constructed.
