Lesson Preparing Materials, Pattern
Layout, Pinning and Cutting
What’s In
Preparing the materials for cutting.
Let us recall the parts of a fabric so you will never be confused during
the discussion of this lesson.
Selvage-the finished edge of the fabric running lengthwise or on the side of
the fabric. There is a selvage on both lengthwise edges of woven fabrics.

Pull a strand along the crosswise grain then cut the following line created by the pulled tread.
What’s New
Activity 1: Practicing Folding and Laying Out the Pattern
Supplies needed:
paper pattern pieces 8A through 8K (shown next page 9)
scissors glue or tape
This activity is made up of three problems. For each problem, cut out
the specified pattern pieces found at the end of the lesson. Also cut a piece of
paper the size of the dimensions given to represent fabric from which the
garment is to be cut. Try various fabric folds—lengthwise, crosswise, partial,
and double—and ways of placing the pattern pieces on the fabric. Decide on
the best way to fold the fabric and lay out the pattern pieces. Then glue or
tape the pieces in place. Attach your results to a sheet of paper. Be prepared
to discuss your work.
Garment 1 — Knit Top
Use pattern pieces 8A and 8B.
Cut a sheet of paper 4½ by 8¾ inches for the fabric.
6
Consider the lengthwise grain to run parallel to the 4½ -inch edge. A
permanent lengthwise crease runs through the center of the fabric.
Garment 2 — Skirt
Use pattern pieces 8C, 8D, and 8E.
Cut a sheet of paper 6¼ by 11 inches for the fabric. Consider the
lengthwise grain to run parallel to the 11-inch edge.
Garment 3 — Shirt
Use pattern pieces 8F, 8G, 8H, 8I, 8J, and 8K.
Use a single 8½ by 11-inch sheet of paper for the fabric.
Consider the lengthwise grain to run parallel to the 11-inch edge.

What is It
Following the correct pattern layout will help ensure that your garment
is cut out on grain. Pinning and cutting your garment carefully will avoid
wasting fabric. This module will provide the information you need to lay out,
pin, and cut out your pattern pieces.
You will first need to make sure the cut ends of your fabric are on-
grain. If they are off grain, follow the directions in ―Fabric Preparation,‖ to
straighten the grain before preparing the fabric for pattern layout.
Folding the Fabric
Fabric can be folded in a variety of ways before pattern pieces are
positioned for cutting. The type of fold used depends on,
• The number of pattern pieces that must be placed on a folded edge
• The fold that results in the most economic use of the fabric
• The width of the fabric
• The pattern size
Pattern companies have already taken these factors into consideration
for you. Therefore, you should fold your fabric as shown in the diagram found
on your pattern instruction sheet.
Lengthwise fold. Most fabric is folded lengthwise on the bolt. Pattern
instructions generally show a lengthwise fold with fabric folded in half
lengthwise so that selvages match. However, lengthwise folds can also be
partial folds leaving some of the fabric extended as a single layer.
9
Crosswise fold. For a crosswise fold, fabric is usually folded so the cut ends
match.
However, a crosswise fold can also be a partial fold. A crosswise fold is often
used when pattern pieces are too wide to fit on fabric folded lengthwise.
Double fold. When making a double fold, be sure the full length of each
folded side is the same width. Measure as shown. This will ensure that the
folded edges are straight with the grain. You may use a double fold when you
cannot press the original fold line out of the fabric. You may also use it when
several pattern pieces are to be cut on a fold.
Folding Knit Fabric
Try to press out the lengthwise crease on knit fabrics before laying out
pattern pieces. Often this crease is permanent in knit fabrics and, if used on
10
the garment, may be unsightly. If you cannot press out the crease, you can
avoid using it by folding your fabric with a double fold. Another possibility is
to position the crease to work with the pattern design. For instance, place
pattern pieces so that the crease will fall down the center of sleeves or pant
legs.
Guidelines for Pattern Layout
Use the following guidelines when laying out your pattern pieces on
your fabric.
• Circle the correct layout diagram on your pattern instruction sheet.
Choose the correct diagram according to the pattern view, size, and
fabric width.
• Make any desired fit or design alterations to your pattern before laying
it out.
• Lay all pattern pieces on the fabric before pinning any of them in
place. This will allow you to make sure that all pieces will fit on the
fabric.
• Follow the shading key shown on your instruction sheet. Solidly
shaded areas denote fabric. Unshaded areas denote pattern pieces to
be placed with the printed side up. Lines denote pattern pieces to be
placed with the printed side down.
• Sometimes a layout diagram will show a pattern piece that is placed
halfway off the fabric. This piece will usually be accompanied with an
asterisk (*). Find the symbol on your instruction sheet and follow the
directions given. This symbol generally means there is not enough
room to place the pattern piece on the folded fabric. The instructions
will tell you to cut out all other pattern pieces. Then you should open
the fabric to accommodate the piece that was placed partially off the
fabric.
• Sometimes a layout diagram will show two pattern pieces with the
same number. This indicates that the pattern piece will have to be cut
out twice, such as when you need four cuff pieces. The pattern will
only include one pattern piece. Therefore, simply relocate the pattern
piece and cut it out a second time.
• Avoid placing pattern pieces on the selvage edges of the fabric.
Selvages do not give and can cause seams to pucker. If you must
place a piece on the selvage, clip the selvage about every ½ inch to
create more give.
• When you are cutting two layers of fabric, the pattern pieces do not
have to be placed printed side up. If you are cutting one layer,
however, the pattern pieces must be placed printed side up. They
must also be placed on the right side of the fabric. Otherwise, you
may find that pattern pieces fit the wrong side of your body.
• Be sure to use the ―with nap‖ layout when working with napped
fabrics. Also use this layout when working with knits, as most knits
tend to have shading in one direction. If this layout is not followed,
differences in color may appear on the finished garment. You can also
11
use this layout when working with fabrics that do not have nap.
However, ―with nap‖ layouts usually require more yardage.
Placing Pieces on the Fold
Check for pattern pieces that must be placed on the fabric fold. When
cutting out these pieces, never cut along the folded edge.
Pinning Pattern Pieces
Use the following guidelines when
pinning your pattern pieces to your
fabric:
• Pin with care to prevent inaccurate
cutting. A cutting error of ⅛ inch on
12
each side of a pattern piece can result in a ½ inch difference in the
final garment.
• Use only enough pins to hold down the pattern securely. Depending
on the fabric and the size of the pattern piece, placing pins about six
inches apart is usually enough.
• Place pins completely inside the cutting line.
• Place pins diagonally in corners.
• Use pattern weights instead of pins to hold the pattern in position, if
desired. However, be sure to pin grainlines in place first. Position
weights, inside the cutting lines, on one pattern piece at a time.
Cutting Out Pattern Pieces
Use the following guidelines, when cutting out pattern pieces:
• Use sharp shears or a rotary cutter to cutout your pattern pieces.
Never use pinking shears. Pattern pieces cannot be cut out accurately
with pinking shears.
• Do not allow the fabric to hang over the edge of the table when you
are cutting. This is especially true when working with knits and other
stretchy fabrics. The weight of the fabric hanging over the table edge
will pull the fabric and result in inaccurate cutting. Also, be careful to
leave the fabric resting on the table as you cut. Lifting the fabric will
result in inaccurate cutting.
• Cut notches out away from the seam allowance. Cutting notches into
the seam allowance will weaken the seam. This will also prevent you
from letting the seam out if a looser fit is needed.
• When using a rotary cutter, always be sure toplace a protective plastic
cutting mat beneath the fabric. Shift the cutting mat under your work
as you proceed around the pattern. A metal ruler can be used as a
guide for cutting straight edges. When cutting complex shapes, a
small rotary wheel is easier to maneuver than larger ones. You will not
be able to cut out the notches with a rotary cutter. Instead, cut off the
notches and mark them using another technique, such as chalk or
washable marking pen.
• Before cutting pattern pieces from a multisided pattern, determine
which lines you need to follow. To do this, compare your
measurements with those on the envelope size chart. Identify which
size you should use for different areas of your body. Use a colored pen
to trace along the lines you plan to follow before placing the pattern on
13
the fabric. Taper from the cutting line for one size into the cutting line
for another size, as needed.
What I Have Learned
True or False
Directions: Write True if the statement is True and correct the
underlined word/s if the statement is false. Write your answer on the
space provided before the number.
1. For pattern drafting, make any desired fit or design
alterations to your pattern before laying it out.
2. In laying out pattern pieces, do not allow the fabric to
hang over the edge of the table when you are cutting.
3. When using a rotary cutter, always be sure to place a
protective plastic cutting mat beneath the fabric.
4. Cut notches out away from the seam allowance. Cutting
notches into the seam allowance will strenghten the seam.
5. Lay all pattern pieces on the fabric before pinning any of
them in place. This will allow you to make sure that all pieces will fit
on the fabric.
