Troubleshooting

Pattern pieces don't match up.

Double-check that you have cut the correct size and that the pattern pieces are aligned correctly according to the markings. Ensure all seam allowances are correct.

Fabric is fraying.

Use a serger or zigzag stitch along the raw edges of the fabric to prevent fraying. Alternatively, consider using a fabric with a tighter weave.

Snaps are difficult to apply.
