Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin your project, ensure you have a clear, flat surface for cutting your pattern pieces. Always verify your measurements against the Style Arc size chart provided on the envelope before selecting your cutting line. For care, store your paper pattern pieces in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the paper from becoming brittle. When finished, you may choose to trace the pattern onto Swedish tracing paper or heavy pattern interfacing if you plan to make multiple versions of the garment in different sizes.
