This is the direction on the fabric that you will want to place the ‘grainline’ pattern markings when cutting out your pattern pieces. How to Transfer Pattern Markings: There are multiple ways to do this. Here are a few favorites. (1) Clip into the seam allowance but not beyond. (2) Cut an extra triangle beyond the actual pattern piece. (3) Use a fabric marker, tailors chalk, or tracing wheel with paper. (4) Place pins in location of markings. Back Stitch: Stitch forward 3-4 stitches, then without lifting the needle, stitch backwards over the stitches just made until reaching the first stitch. Then begin forward stitching as desired. Understitch: Press the seam allowance to the lining side. Sew on the right side of the lining fabric 1/8” from the seam line. This will prevent the lining from rolling to the right side of the fabric when it is worn. Top Stitch: Using a stitch length of 3-3.5, stitch 1/8” away from the folded edge on the right side of the fabric. Stay Stitch: Using a normal stitch length on your machine to sew along the edge of a curve. This will prevent distortion of the curve. It is best to stay stitch right after you cut your fabric piece and follow the direction noted in the pattern. Basting Stitch: Using the longest stitch available on your machine to sew two or more fabrics temporarily in place. Re- move the baste stitch once a permanete stitch has been completed. Gathering Stitch: Using the longest stitch available on your machine, create two rows of stitching with a 1/4” space be- tween. Take both bottom threads and pull to shorten the length of the the fabric. Attach the gathered fabric to desired fabric in the 1/4” gap and then remove the gathering stitches. Clip for CONCAVE CURVES: A curve where the edge of the fabric is shorter than the area it will be folded into. Cut, at 45 degree angles, into the seam allowance. This will allow curves in the fabric to stretch and lay flat or smooth along the curve. Notch for CONVEX CURVES: A curve where the edge of the fabric is longer than the area it will be folded into. Cut little triangles out of the seam allowance. This will reduce the bulk on the curve and allow it to lay flat or smooth. Use pink- ing shears to save time and create even notches.
