$39.99
IMPORTANT: Please select the total amount of pattern pieces that need to be graded and make up your design Example: You have a dress that contains 12 pattern pieces in your design the total PC Qty: should be 12 Pieces. You can submit six (6) pattern pieces if your pattern has mirror/symmetric pieces but keep in mind that you pay for the total amount of pieces that make up your design (12 pieces) and (not 6 pieces) as we still have to make sure that your design contains 12 pattern pieces and label each pattern piece accordingly.

1) First type your base size in brackets example: [M] then type to the right all sizes that you will be grading up including the grade for each size and add the (+) plus sign example: [M] (L+2") (XL+4")
2). Then to the left of your base size type all your sizes that you will be grading down and add the (-) minus sign example (XS-3") (S-2") [M] once all your sizes are typed the result should look something similar to this format: (XS-3") (S-2") [M] (L+2") (XL+4")

What wash process shrinks fabric? Any [Wet Wash Process/Chemical Process] will shrink fabric. So prior to cutting fabric for bulk production, you must check its shrinkage percentage in washing.
What Patterns Need shrinkage Applied? Any pattern that is cut on a fabric that contains Natural fibers—such as Cotton, Linen, Silk, Denim, Corduroy, Flannels and any other fabrics containing natural Cotton fibers will need to have a pattern with shrinkage added as these fabrics are more susceptible to the shrinkage process than synthetics.
What is Selvedge? The selvedge (sometimes spelled selvage) is the tightly woven edge of your fabric which is cut off to prevent it from appearing on your sewn pieces on your design. The term 'usable width of fabric', means the width of your fabric minus its selvedges.
