Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin using Butterick 6982, ensure you have a clear workspace and essential sewing tools including sharp fabric shears, tailor's chalk, pins, and an iron for pressing seams. Before cutting, press the tissue paper on a low, dry heat setting to remove factory folds. Always wash and dry your fashion fabric prior to cutting to account for potential shrinkage. When storing your pattern, keep the pieces in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the tissue from becoming brittle over time.
