Layout Optimization Tips
- Always account for fabric shrinkage by adding 10% extra length
- Consider grain direction for drape and stability
- Place largest pieces first, then fill gaps with smaller ones
- Check for nap or directional prints before cutting
- Save scraps for bias binding, facings, or small details
- Mark pattern pieces clearly before removing from fabric
