  • Pull thread to get a grain line for cutting
  • Copy pattern, apply pattern to muslin, take apart muslin to apply to fashion fabric
  • Rather than washing fabric to preshrink, give the fabric a steam bath: give fabric a heavy steam bath directly on fabric while constantly moving. You must keep moving so that you don’t burn fabric
