Pieces stay upright so the grainline runs along the fabric — that keeps the garment hanging right. Turn on rotation only for non-directional fabric. Cut through several layers for multiples; “on fold” pieces go against a fold. Buy a little extra for your first make.
③ Place a motif
Preview where a chest print, pocket or embroidery will sit before you cut — then print it as a placement guide.
④ Print & cut
Print at 100% / “Actual size”. Measure the 50 mm test square before cutting. Tape pages by row & column, then cut along the dashed line (it includes seam allowance) and sew along the solid line. Watch the grainline arrows — auto-arrange may rotate a piece to save paper.
Atelier notes
- 01Use a stretch jersey and a stretch stitch or overlocker so seams move with the wearer.
- 02Cut the neckband shorter than the neckline (~85%) so the rib pulls the collar flat.
- 03Keep the front and back neck drops shallow for a true crew neck.
Front and back cut on the fold; 2 sleeves. Add a rib neckband (~85% of the neck length). · Seam allowance 12mm on the dashed line.
