Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before beginning, ensure your sewing machine is threaded correctly and you are using a needle appropriate for your chosen fabric (typically a universal 70/10 or 80/12). You will need to trace or cut the pattern pieces according to the size you have chosen from the included A size range. For fabric care, always pre-wash and dry your fabric before cutting to prevent the finished dress from shrinking after construction. Keep the pattern pieces in a cool, dry place when not in use to avoid tearing. For the final garment, follow the care instructions specific to the fabric you chose to sew with.
