Troubleshooting
Pattern pieces don't match up.
Double-check your cutting and seam allowances. Ensure you're using the correct pattern size and that the fabric is laid out correctly with the grainline.
Fabric bunches or puckers during sewing.
Adjust your sewing machine's tension and use a ballpoint needle. Consider using a walking foot for better fabric feed.
