Safety-critical guides
Set and check true size
Correct perspective, set scale, and pass the ruler-backed photo check before trusting physical output.
Trace a pattern piece
Place useful points, preserve corners and curves, and close one trustworthy outline.
Choose sewing line or cutting line
Identify what the traced boundary means before adding or interpreting seam allowance.
Complete Pattern Check
Resolve every blocking piece, scale, and declared seam issue without overstating what the check proves.
Export and print at actual size
Choose the right file, understand DRAFT consequences, and physically verify the printed check bar.
What a pattern piece really contains
Read a piece as scale, shape, direction, construction information, and relationships—not only an outline.
