Frequently Asked Questions
- Why replace tissue patterns at all?
- Pin holes and tears — tissue degrades every use, while non-woven pins and re-pins indefinitely. Copying a commercial pattern onto Easy-Pattern once preserves the original and creates a permanent working copy.
- Easy-Pattern or Tru-Grid?
- The grid — 810 carries a printed 1" grid for drafting from measurements; 830 is clean for tracing existing designs. Draft new on Tru-Grid, copy existing on Easy-Pattern.
- Quilter-specific uses?
- Curved-piecing and appliqué templates cut repeatedly — the material holds a rotary-cut edge through dozens of tracings where cardstock rounds off.
- Alteration workflow?
- Trace the base pattern, mark fit changes on the copy, keep the original intact — the standard method for graded and adjusted garment patterns.
- Storage advantage?
- Folds and unfolds without creasing into cracks the way tissue does — pattern libraries on Easy-Pattern stay usable for years.
