Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin your project, ensure you have a clear, flat surface for cutting your pattern pieces. Always press your pattern paper flat if it has been folded for a long duration to ensure accurate measurement lines.
Compatibility: This pattern is designed for standard sewing machines capable of straight stitch and zigzag or overlock finishes. Ensure your machine is serviced and needles are appropriate for your chosen fabric weight.
Care: Once your Carter Dress is finished, refer to the care instructions specific to the fabric you selected. As this is a structured garment, dry cleaning is often recommended for heavy-weight fabrics, while gentle machine washing is appropriate for most cottons or linens.
