Troubleshooting

Consult the glossary at the beginning of the instruction sheet; look for specific symbols like notches and dots which help align pieces.
Fabric slipping during cutting
Use pattern weights instead of pins when placing pieces on slippery fabrics to keep the tissue and cloth completely still.
Fit issues at the waist
Perform a muslin or 'toile' test by sewing a mock-up using scrap fabric before cutting into your main fashion fabric.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before you begin, ensure you have measured yourself accurately according to the sizing chart provided on the envelope. Since this is a paper pattern, handle the tissue pieces gently to avoid tearing. It is recommended to iron the tissue pieces on a low, dry setting before pinning them to your fabric. Always use appropriate sewing machine needles for your chosen fabric weight. To preserve the pattern for future use, consider tracing your specific size onto pattern tracing paper, leaving the original master tissue intact for other size variations or potential alterations.
