What are balance marks? Why are they important on a pattern? |

Answer» Balance Marks: Marks made on edges of complimentary pattern pieces that indicate corresponding seam line and area. They are a useful construction guide on all seams. However, balance marks are vital in a pattern if two pieces have different edge or shape that are required to be joined or where one seam line is longer or fuller than another. While doing pattern cutting make short pencil marks at the edge of the paper, copying them through all stages till the final pattern. On readymade paper patterns balance marks are indicated by triangles and are referred to as notches. |
