Before you cut
- Check that the style number, size and specifications match your project.
- Check CAD units and output scale, then measure the output to verify actual size.
- Check the original files for seam allowances, grainlines, required pieces and fabric information.
- Consider making a toile to check fit and construction before cutting your final fabric.
