Matching Pattern Notches – Digital Pattern Making Tutorial
In this digital pattern making tutorial, we demonstrate how to match and mark pattern notches using two very different techniques.
The first technique uses the old-fashioned manual paper method. Rotating and mapping pattern panels to find the correct notch location. The second technique uses the dashed line tool. It’s a great little tool that we’ve only just discovered. It makes the whole process simple, fast and very precise!
