CUTTER'S MUST
- From main fabric:
- 1. BACK PANEL – 2 QTY
- 2. Center FRONT PANEL – 1 QTY
- 3. SIDE PANEL – 2 QTY
- 4. COLLAR – 1 QTY
- 5. Bow – 1 QTY
Tip: Cut pieces from knit fabrics should be sewn with a special elastic stitch or immediately sewn on a 3- or 4-thread overlocker. The hem allowance should be topstitched with a twin needle or on a coverstitch machine to maintain elasticity.
