The continuous binding pattern

How do you cut the continuous binding pattern from a Butterick pattern, it contains lines on the pattern, it does not tell you to use transfer paper and roller? Do you have to transfer the lines to the fabric?

Not sure what you are asking. Do you want to know how to cut your own binding? It is easiest to use a ruler and rotary cutter. Most often, the binding is cut on the bias. Bias binding wears better and has more flexibility when sewing it on.

There are some very handy methods to cut bias binding.

    I did not get the answer to my question. I did use R.A.Ellis' suggestion, though. I had already pinned the pattern and cut the fabric per what little directions were given. I had to unpin and draw lines with a tailor pencil using the suggested method and discard the pattern piece for this particular project. The pattern should have indicated that I use tracing paper and wheel to transfer lines to fabric. Thank you for your help!

SOURCE: Brother 1034D serger is not cutting and is binding up

This problem is usually when the lower blade drops below the sewing plate. Look at the blade in relation to the plate and see if it has dropped below the plate, then you can reset the blade. If it is not the upper blade may be too dull to cut so it will need to be replaced.

Reading patterns

Hello, Brenda -

Are you asking about a specific Butterick pattern?

If so, probably one or more of the sales people at the sewing supplies store where you purchased the pattern can advise you. I suggest you take the pattern and instructions with you to the store and ask about the instructions which confuse you.

Personal opinion: You may benefit from purchasing a book written for beginner home sewers. You can see what relatively recent sewing instruction books are held by your local public library, first, and check some out. Then, you can decide which book would be good to purchase.

Or do you mean by your question you need to contact the Butterick pattern company and ask questions about a pattern you have?

If so, this is the link to the Butterick How To Reach Us web page:
https://butterick.mccall.com/how-reach-us
There is a number to call for information on "Help with making a pattern."

Best wishes.

I'm having problems attaching collar to top A of 5556 butterick Help

Difficult to advise since we don't know what type of collar it is. Perhaps, take the pattern and your garment to the local fabric store and ask one of the wonderful ladies there how to proceed. You can also check out some sewing books at the library.

Or contact Butterick directly:
