What?

A punch hole, is an internal pattern reference and the only one reported
on the fabric.

Why?

specification sheet.

pivot. -For a dart pleat, inside the dart, about 1 cm (or 3/8 inch) from the
end of the length to be sewn & about 3 mm (or 1/8 inch) from the side.
-For a pleat, about 1 cm (or 3/8 inch) from the length to be sewn & about
3 mm (or 1/8 inch) from the side.
