Steps in Preparing The Materials Before Cutting

The document provides steps for preparing fabric before cutting for a dressmaking class. It outlines 5 steps: 1) soaking the fabric for 2-4 hours, 2) hanging the fabric to dry without squeezing, 3) letting it dry naturally or on a line, 4) checking that the grain is straight, and 5) ironing out any creases if needed. It also explains that the fabric must be folded wrong-side out according to the grainline before cutting, as the pattern only provides half of the garment pieces. Key parts of the fabric like the selvage, raw edge, wrong side and right side are defined. A quiz is then provided to test student understanding of fabric preparation concepts.

PROCEDURE IN FOLDING THE FABRIC BEFORE CUTTING

In preparing the fabric before cutting, the fabric should be folded “wrong
side” out. It is necessary to fold the fabric correctly, neatly, smoothly and
without crumpled/crease or you need to press or iron the fabric. It is
necessary to fold the fabric because our pattern is only half part of the
garments, so we need to fold the fabric to make two pieces equivalent to front
and back part of the garments/skirt.

PARTS AND FOLDS OF THE FABRIC

1. Selvage – the finished edge of a woven fabric


2. Raw edge – the cut edge of the fabric
3. Wrong side –pale part of the fabric
