PATTERN MAKING • DRESSMAKING • TAILORING Clear reference marks for better pattern matching The Kearing pattern notcher cuts small notches into the edges of paper and card sewing patterns. These marks help identify matching points, making it easier to line up adjoining pattern pieces and transfer important construction details when cutting fabric. A practical addition to the pattern-making kit for dressmakers, fashion students, tailors and garment workrooms. Make your patterns easier to use Mark alignment points: add visible reference notches where pattern pieces need to match. Identify construction details: mark seam-allowance references and the edge positions of darts and pleats. Prepare reusable patterns: notch paper or card templates so key reference points remain easy to find. Simple hand operation: position the jaws at the marked pattern edge and squeeze the handles to cut a notch. How to use your pattern notcher Mark the required positions on your pattern first. Place the edge into the notcher, align it with your mark and squeeze. Repeat at the corresponding points on the matching pattern piece. When laying out your fabric, transfer these reference marks using your preferred fabric-marking method. This is a pattern-paper and card tool, rather than a replacement for fabric scissors. Test on a scrap of your pattern material before working on the finished template.
