Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your project, begin by organizing all pattern pieces included in the envelope. Verify your body measurements against the provided size chart on the back of the envelope to select the correct size. For care, store the paper patterns in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the paper from becoming brittle over time. If you need to preserve the original master sheet, consider using tracing paper to copy the desired size pieces. Ensure your sewing machine is equipped with the appropriate needle size for your chosen fabric weight and that your bobbin is wound before starting the assembly.
