Preparing cloth
Bring pressed fabric and a simple project outline. Mark grain and allowances clearly to keep cutting calm and accurate.
Shared tools
We provide boards, sleeve rolls and blocks. Mind the pressing path and return tools to the station when finished.
Fitting notes
Keep pins and chalk close. Record small adjustments after each pass so the next seam runs smoothly.
Pace and safety
Work at an even tempo. Blades stay sheathed when not in use; irons rest upright and cool before moving.
Finishing
Trim threads as you go and press lightly between steps. A tidy bench helps details read cleanly.
