But looking at your picture I noticed that all the darts were printed, and on mine, only the dart from the biggest size was printed (I drew my dart myself), I think it was a printer issue, because on the file I see all the darts :( oh well, will try to print again, my blouse is wearable, but not as loose as the ones I see. Thanks again!!

I think the margins are there in case something printers can't go all the way to the edges. <br />Hope this helps!

Im making one and it seems oddly small considering I'm in between sizes and sized up. I can only think I made a mistake taping the pattern pages. Do you tape literally connecting the lines (by this I mean folding/cutting the "margins" of the paper that are left blank. Or do you just tape the paper side by side by the edges and draw/connect the bits that are blank?<br />Thanks in advance!Elisanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07305771226575862505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3132910374487654308.post-67862085771108029352015-03-20T09:31:47.875+00:002015-03-20T09:31:47.875+00:00Thanks!Thanks!churchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13294307896126078831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3132910374487654308.post-91424700519858331552015-03-19T22:47:48.088+00:002015-03-19T22:47:48.088+00:00Thanks a lot!

Thanks for pointing that out! I actually only needed to put tissue underneath the fabric and it worked fine. I will probably also leave it there when I start sewing, it makes the fabric much more well behaved. I should definitely look into using a rotary cutter. I have one, but only use it for rectangular pieces. Do you happen to have a good resource on that as well?

For example, the armcycle would come out wrong and may not line up. If you examine a multi-sized pattern (perhaps not this one, but one from the big 4, say), you will see that the lines for different sizes aren't just enlarged/shrunk versions of the next size down/up. I hope this makes sense :) Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07644415042425814372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3132910374487654308.post-78282253447853121742015-03-17T22:57:16.112+00:002015-03-17T22:57:16.112+00:00I have to figure how to print the pattern!
