The Why and Wherefores of Steps 1 and 2

BECAUSE with this knowledge, selection of fabric can be made for fashion Tightness of design, for individuality, for wearing qualities and for good values.

WHY press as you sew? WHY have a special nook or room in which
to sew?
WHY test and adjust a pattern?
BECAUSE correct altering of a pattern saves errors in cutting, retains original lines of the design, and avoids tedious fittings later on.
BECAUSE the fabric is kept smooth, and a more professional job is accomplished with each progressive step of construction. Pressing shapes the fabric, especially at points of darts, caps of sleeves, etc., and insures a better fit.
BECAUSE much more can be accomplished, pleasantly and conveniently, when all fabrics and sewing equipment are within reach. This is truly a time-saver.
