Reza's Edge-to-Surface Transfer: How Concave and Convex Edges Shape Cloth – ISOT Lesson 18

What is Edge-to-Fold Transfer in tailoring? Edge-to-Fold Transfer is a tailoring technique coined by Reza at the International School of Tailoring to explain how the shape of a cut edge can be transferred into the surface or fold of the cloth. Reza explains how a curved or shaped edge can affect the behaviour of the fabric around it. The purpose is to understand how tailors can use this principle to remove tension, prevent puckers and pulls, or compress excess cloth in areas that need more control. This is not just a pressing or sewing technique. It is a way of understanding how shape moves from the cut edge of the fabric into the surface of the garment, especially in areas such as under collars, false forearms, side seams and back panels. In this lesson, you will see: • What Edge-to-Fold Transfer means in tailoring • How Reza defines Edge-to-Fold Transfer as a tailoring principle • What a fold is and how it can be shaped • How the shape of a cut edge can affect the fabric surface • How this technique helps prevent puckers and pulls • How Edge-to-Fold Transfer is used in under collars, false forearms, side seams and back panels • Why mastering this principle improves control over cloth This is ISOT Lesson 18 in Module 1 of the ISOT Online Coat Making Course. It introduces one of Reza’s tailoring principles for understanding how shape can be transferred and controlled in cloth. ➤ GET YOUR PURPLE BOX (TRADITIONAL & PAGODA BUNDLE): https://www.internationalschooloftailori
