Article: After you have cut out your pattern, take your fabric and fold it in half lengthwise 2 times. This will allow you to cut out both leg pieces at once. Make sure that the fabric is lined up evenly. Another option is to cut out 2 pieces separately by creating 2 separate folds in your fabric and cutting along the waist, inseam, and bottom of the legging pattern twice. Lay the pattern over the folded fabric so that the outside of the leg on the pattern is lined up with the folded edge of your fabric. The inseam part of your pattern should be slightly in from the edge of the fabric. To cut out your fabric pieces for sewing leggings, use a rotary cutter and cut along the top, bottom, and inseam of your pattern. Do not cut along the folded edge of the fabric.

Fold the fabric in half lengthwise twice. Place the pattern onto the edge of the folded fabric. Cut the fabric along the top, bottom, and inseam.
Article: After you have taken care of your leg with the P.R.I.C.E. method for 48 72 hours, you can begin to incorporate a few additional treatments that will help your knee pain and swelling get better. Use a heating pad or hot compress on your knee to alleviate stiffness and pain. Apply heat for 20 minutes, four times per day or as needed. This will help loosen up the muscles in your knee that you have been resting for the three days prior to heating it. You can also apply heat to your knee in a sauna, whirlpool, hot bath, or hot tub. Do not heat before 72 hours have passed. You will actually do more harm than good if you heat too soon. The increased blood flow in your knee while it is still initially healing can cause it to bleed or swell more. While you are healing, over the counter pain medication can help you manage the pain involved. You can take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for the pain if you experience any that is too much for you to handle without drugs. Try common brands of ibuprofen such as Advil and Motrin and brands of acetaminophen such as Tylenol. You can also take anti-inflammatory medications such as naproxen. You can buy it over the counter in such brands as Aleve. Ask your doctor for prescription anti-inflammatory medication, if the pain and swelling in your knee lingers longer than a week. If you don't want to take oral pain relievers, there are some topical creams that can help with the pain. You can buy creams with ibuprofen from your pharmacy. This method is best used when you have less pain because the topical version of ibuprofen does not get as much of the drug into your system, so it may not work on intense pain. There are other creams that are available by prescription only. Ask your doctor if you think it might be an option you'd like to try. While you are recovering, you should not drink any alcoholic drinks. This is especially true in the first few days after you get injured. Alcohol can decrease the healing capabilities of your body. It can also encourage inflammation and swelling. Ask your doctor before you start drinking alcohol again. You want to make sure your knee has healed enough that you won't deter your recuperation.

Apply heat after 72 hours. Take oral pain medication. Try topical anti-inflammatory creams. Avoid alcohol.
Article: Do not touch the metal probes while connecting them to a circuit. If the insulation looks worn or torn, wear electrically insulated gloves or purchase replacement leads. The two metal probes should never touch each other while they are connected to a circuit, or severe sparking could result. Test circuits for voltage by attaching the leads in parallel. In other words, you'll touch the probes to two points an already-closed circuit, with current running through it. On a battery, touch the black lead to the negative terminal. In a wall outlet, touch the black lead into the neutral hole, which in the US is the larger vertical hole, or the vertical hole on the left. Whenever possible, let go of the black test lead before moving on. Many black probes have a small plastic bump that can stick into an outlet. This will complete the parallel circuit and cause the meter to display the voltage. On a battery, touch the red lead to the positive terminal. In a wall outlet, fit the red lead into the "hot" hole in the US, this is the smaller, vertical or the vertical hole on the right. Immediately raise the range to a higher voltage setting if you get one of the following results, before your device is damaged: Your digital display reads "OL," "overload," or "1." Note that "1V" is a real reading, and nothing to worry about. Your analog needle shoots to the other side of the scale. You may need to make adjustments if a digital voltmeter display reads 0V or nothing at all, or if an analog voltmeter's needle has barely moved. If there is still no reading, try the following in order: Make sure the test probes are both connected to the circuit. If you are measuring a DC circuit and get no result, look for a small knob or switch on your device labeled DC+ and DC- and move it to the other position. If your device does not have this option, reverse the positions of the black and red probes. Reduce the range by one setting. Repeat if necessary until you get a real reading. A digital voltmeter will clearly display the voltage on its electronic screen. An analog voltmeter is a little more complicated, but not too tough once you learn the ropes. Continue reading for instructions.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Hold the probes safely. Touch the black test lead to one part of the circuit. Touch the red test lead to another point on the circuit. Raise the range if you get an overload reading. Adjust the voltmeter if necessary. Read the voltmeter.
