Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin your project, ensure you have a clear cutting space, as bias projects require ample room to lay out the pattern pieces at a 45-degree angle to the grainline. The pattern is compatible with a wide range of soft, drapey woven fabrics.
Care Instructions
- Pre-washing: Always wash and dry your fabric as you intend to care for the finished garment to account for shrinkage.
- Handling: Handle cut bias pieces gently to prevent distortion before sewing.
- Pressing: Use a tailor’s ham for pressing curves and seams to maintain the garment’s shape.
- Storage: Store the finished garment on a sturdy hanger to prevent it from stretching out of shape in the closet.
