Troubleshooting

Pattern pieces don't match up correctly.

Double-check that you have the correct pattern pieces and that they are aligned properly. Ensure that seam allowances are included and that you are using the correct size.

Difficulty with the angled hemline.

Neckline facing doesn't lay flat.

Understitch the facing to the seam allowance to help it lie flat. Press the facing well after sewing.
