CUTTING AND MARKING
GRAINLINE: Place on straight grain of fabric, an even distance
from selvage or fold

style. Adjust pieces before placing on

shading. Because most knits have surface shading, a with nap layout is used.

Guide. Fold necessary amount. Tape in
place.
DOUBLE THICKNESS (WITHOUT FOLD) - For
fabrics with nap, fold fabric crosswise, RIGHT SIDES
TOGETHER. Mark as shown. Cut along crosswise fold
of fabric (A). Turn upper layer 180° so arrows go in
same direction and place over lower layer, RIGHT
SIDES TOGETHER (B).
TO LENGTHEN: Cut
on dotted lines of
Easy-Rule Guide.
Spread necessary
amount. Tape over
paper.
For SINGLE THICKNESS - place fabric Right Side Up.
Before CUTTING place all pieces on fabric according to layout. Overlap
margins. Pin.
Cut ACCURATELY through fabric and pattern on cutting line. Cut notches
outward.

lengthen or shorten at lower edge.

Two ways which may be used quickly are the Pin and Chalk Pencil method or
Tracing Paper and Dressmaker Wheel.
