Troubleshooting
Difficulty distinguishing size lines on the pattern tissue

Garment fit is too loose or tight
Create a 'muslin' or test garment using inexpensive fabric to check fit before cutting your final fashion fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin your project, identify the pieces associated with your chosen size (7-14) using the K5 markings. It is recommended to press your fabric thoroughly before pinning the pattern pieces to ensure accuracy. For best results, consult the included fabric recommendation list to match your material choice with the garment's intended structure. Keep the original envelope for organized storage of the pattern tissue between projects, and always store the tissue flat to avoid permanent creasing that could distort your layout.
