Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before beginning, ensure you have a clear, flat surface for cutting fabric. Iron the tissue paper pieces on a low, dry heat setting to remove wrinkles if necessary. The pattern is compatible with most standard sewing machines and common costume fabrics like cotton, felt, or jersey. To preserve the pattern for future use, trace the desired size onto tracing paper instead of cutting the original master pattern sheets. Store the pattern in the original envelope in a cool, dry place to prevent paper yellowing.
