Frequently Asked Questions · Pattern Cutters & Drafting Labs in Manchester
Helpful advice on pricing, fitting consultations, and turnaround times when booking independent fashion artisans.
What should I provide to a pattern cutter for custom garments?
Provide technical drawings (flats), reference garments, measurements, or mood boards. Specifying the target fabric weight, grainline, and stretch percentage is essential for accurate pattern drafting.
What is the difference between pattern drafting and grading?
Pattern drafting creates the master sample pattern (typically UK size 8 or 10) from scratch. Pattern grading proportionately scales that master block across all required production sizes (e.g. UK 6 to 18).
Do pattern cutters offer digital CAD files or physical card blocks?
Our verified pattern cutters can supply heavy Manila card production blocks with punched holes and notches, as well as digital Gerber, Lectra, or DXF/PDF export files for automated plotting.
How many revisions are typically included with a pattern block?
Most ateliers include one initial calico toile fitting and pattern adjustment in their development fee to ensure flawless garment drape before cutting final fabric.
