Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin your project, ensure you have a clear cutting surface and sharp shears or a rotary cutter for the pattern pieces. When selecting fabric, opt for jerseys or interlock knits with appropriate stretch percentages as indicated on the pattern envelope. For the best construction results, use a ballpoint or stretch needle to avoid skipped stitches or fabric runs. Once your garment is complete, wash it inside out on a gentle cycle to preserve the integrity of the seams and the fabric's elasticity.
