The Whys and Wherefores of Step 3
BECAUSE a trial layout avoids mistakes; such as, reversing fabrics with a definite up and down or one-way design, omitting a piece of the pattern, or finding out too late that there is not sufficient yardage.
BECAUSE the pattern must be placed on the fabric so that the design is continuous at all seams. The beauty of the finished garment is the matching of the design in the fabrics.
BECAUSE the pattern for a dress is like the blueprint for a building—it must be exact when one section is joined to another.
