A notch is a small cut or mark made on a sewing pattern piece. Notches are used to help line up pattern pieces when sewing them together. They usually indicate where two pieces of fabric should be sewn together.<\/p>\n

Notches are small cuts or slits that are made at the edges of a sewing pattern. They help to line up the different parts of the pattern so that they can be sewn together correctly.<\/p>\n

What are notches used for? <\/h2>\n

A notch is a small cut or indentation in a material. In structural components, a notch causes a stress concentration which can result in the initiation and growth of fatigue cracks. Notches are used in materials characterization to determine fracture mechanics related properties such as fracture toughness and rates of fatigue crack growth.<\/p>\n

When you are cutting out your pattern pieces, be sure to put notches in the same places on the back pattern piece as you did on the front. That way, when you join the pieces together, the notches will match up and the pieces will fit together perfectly.<\/p>\n
