short, even strokes along curved edges. Cut the edge straight since it
serves as your guide in sewing.
4. Cut the fabric starting from the widest to the narrowest part of the pattern.
Begin cutting at an edge which is easy to reach.
5. Cut with smooth, even strokes.
6. Keep the cutting edge of the top blade of the shears directly above the
lower blade. Do not let the blades slant toward the table.
7. Cut similar patterns at the same time by cutting them out from two layers
fabric.
8. Close the points of the shears right up to the notch. Close the points at th
exact stopping place. Cut outward from the pattern to the exact tip of the
notch. Cut inward to complete the notch at the cutting line.
9. When cutting curves, make your strokes shorter. Keep the free hand close
to the cutting line to have smooth curved line.
10.Set aside cut fabric pieces to avoid cutting them accidentally as you work
on other parts of the fabric.
11. After cutting, do not remove the pins and patterns because you will need
them in marking your fabric.

Guidelines in Transferring Marks onto the Fabric
1.Details should be marked on the wrong side of the fabric where most
construction lines are needed.
2.If you use a tracing wheel and dressmaker’s carbon paper, mount these on
piece of heavy cardboard to protect table surfaces.
3.Use white tracing paper whenever possible because it is safe and easy to
remove.
4.Use a ruler to make straight lines with the tracing wheel. Run the tracing
wheel along the edge of the ruler with a firm and steady motion to avoid
double lines, which can be confusing.
5.When marking curves, slant the tracing wheel slightly inward toward the
center of the curve.
6.Avoid retracing or going over the line twice.
7.There are various methods in transferring pattern marking. Tailor’s tacks a
good for circles and dots, or mark these with a water or air-soluble pen
(when using a pen, test it on a piece of scrap fabric first). For lines, you ca
use trace basting or a tracing wheel with dressmaker’s carbon paper.
