Measuring, Marking and Cutting
Working with a pattern
Measuring and marking are often done at the same time as cutting. Marking aids, transparent rulers, chalks, pencils and tracing wheels are common tools in this process.
We study the entire package carefully before we do any cutting. Using the instructions and illustrations to help you with each step of working with a pattern. A pattern is a blueprint to a successful project.
