I'd like to make use of the fabric layout portion of my program but I can't find the directions on how to use it. Can someont out there please tell me where to find this? Also when I clicked to move my pattern pieces into fabric layout it did not bring all pieces in. I did have all pieces up. Any suggestions? I'm still very new to this program. Thanks C

Choose your pattern with any minor adjustments to it,then click on file for fabric layout.When your pattn pieces are in there enter the width of your chosen fabric,click update! if one pattn peice is out of the picture so to speak,click on it and it turns red,drag into the screen again, then click update and rotate.These are in the little window that open up to the right of your screen.Good Luck!

Some smaller pieces (collars, cuffs, etc.) do not appear in the layout tool as they can usually be cut from the scraps of the larger pieces and so are not helpful in estimating total yardage needed.
