Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using your Butterick 6980 pattern, ensure you have a clean, flat surface for cutting your fabric. Before cutting, compare your body measurements against the sizing chart printed on the pattern envelope to select the correct size. For fabric care, always pre-wash and dry your chosen fabric before cutting to prevent shrinking after the garment is completed. Keep the pattern tissue pieces organized in the envelope after use to ensure they remain intact for future projects.
