Pattern grading is a technique used to scale patterns so they can better fit your unique measurements. It's often easier and more cost-effective to grade patterns in a garment factory than at home. Pattern grading is not something new; it has been around for centuries, but with the advent of the internet allowing patterning to be done at home and downloaded easily, many people are now utilizing this inexpensive process.
Clothing sample makers are structured to prevent fabric distortion, but at home, it's easier to see and grade patterns that have more structure. Before you get started grading your pattern, it's important to know what type of pattern you're working with. The easiest way is to ask yourself: "Is my pattern woven or knit?" If it's classified as woven then chances are it has more structure because the fabric was cut on the cross grain.
The Main Benefits Include:
- This aligns with current research on student learning, which suggests that highly individualized feedback should be provided to each student at their own pace
- Provides advantages for both teachers and students in terms of time, resources, creativity, and engagement
- Allows instructors greater flexibility in creating feedback as opposed to a traditional grading system that relies on fixed criteria such as points or letter grades
Pattern grading can be carried out by hand or with machines to create patterns for all sorts of fabrics where stretch stitching is needed such as denim and spandex. It has been gaining popularity in recent years due to its effectiveness at producing and reducing the amount of scrap production material used during production. Pattern Grading is a new way of grading patterns that are becoming increasingly popular. It offers educators more creative freedom and the ability to provide more personalized feedback to students.
That being said, when implemented correctly, this method can produce an even better-fitting garment.
