An overview of the cutting table & how to import an ePattern - Digital pattern cutting tutorial

Part 2 in a series of tutorials that demonstrate digital pattern cutting in Adobe Illustrator. Watch the tutorial & get downloadable content here: https://patternlab.london/home/project/open-basic-blocks-adobe-illustrator/ Now that we have set up our workspace and added the important tools for pattern cutting, we’re ready to start learning how to use those tools! In this tutorial, we show you how to open the Cutting table (download link below) in Adobe Illustrator. The cutting table is an important document that we have developed to give you some additional tools to help keep your pattern cutting and finished patterns consistent. It also features a selection of pre-built seam allowances which we use in later tutorials. Most importantly it is the document that we use when pattern cutting design elements such as sleeves, necklines, dress styles etc. It is very important that you familiarise yourself with this document. We also show you how to import your purchased basic block (ePattern) into Adobe Illustrator and copy it to the cutting table so you can start using the various tools we added in the last tutorial.  Download Adobe Illustrator to follow this tutorial: https://prf.hn/l/DLkMjzw/ Cutting Table Download Link: https://patternlab.london/home/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Cutting-table.zip Follow Us: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/patternlabLDN/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/PatternLabLondon/ Twitter - https://twitter.com/PatternLabLDN Pinterest - https://uk
