Troubleshooting

Fabric runs out before completing cutting the pieces.

Double-check pattern placement and fabric calculations before cutting. If it's too late, order more fabric to finish the sewing.

Use a walking foot or pins to keep the fabric from shifting, sew slowly, and trim seam allowances.
