Marker Making
A cutting layout that tells you how much fabric to buy and how to cut it.
Plan the fabric before you order it
A marker lays every pattern piece across the width of your fabric in the tightest arrangement the fabric allows. It gives you a yardage figure to price and order against.
We can lay out a single size, or the sizes and quantities of a production run, around your fabric and cutting requirements.
