They are not really notches any longer, although they have kept the name. A notch is cut out from the pattern, adding a point to the seam allowance. In sections that are at center front or center back of garment, mark center points, top and bottom, with a notch or a small clip in the seam allowance. Do not remove pattern pieces from section cut. You will need them for the next step, marking.
Some fabrics require that they be cut through a single thickness at a time.
Pin the pattern in place on the fabric. When cutting two corresponding sections, such as sleeves, from a single thickness, reverse the pattern for the second section. All rights reserved. Home Sewing Association 1350 Broadway, Ste.
