Cut 2 on a sewing pattern means to cut the fabric out twice. This is usually done when the fabric is a little delicate, or if you want to be extra careful with the cutting.<\/p>\n

Cut 2 means that you will need to cut out two pieces of fabric for that particular pattern piece.<\/p>\n

What does cut 2 mean on a pattern? <\/h2>\n

If your pattern says to “Cut 2”, you’ll want to fold your fabric half with your selvages together. Notice the selvages are on the right side and the fold is on the left. This will give you two pieces of fabric that are the same size and shape.<\/p>\n

Folding the fabric along the grain means that you are folding it in a way that the grain of the fabric is running perpendicular to the fold. This is the most stable way to fold fabric and will help prevent the fabric from shifting or stretching out of shape. When you lay the edge of the pattern on the fold, you are aligning the edge of the pattern with the fold line of the fabric. This is generally done so that you do not have to add a seam allowance to the pattern, as the fabric will already have the allowance built in.<\/p>\n
