The only thing keeping them together is grouping! All of our ePatterns come pre-grouped which makes thing easier when importing them into Adobe Illustrator. However, what happens when you start adding new elements and removing old ones? These groups need to be maintained otherwise your block will fall apart when it is moved around the page. In this tutorial, we explain how grouping works and various ways of how to group and ungroup elements, allowing you to safely carry on pattern cutting. We also explain how the Big and Small selection tools function, when to use them and how they affect grouped and non-grouped objects. Patternlab.London is a software application that automatically drafts custom fitting; dress, bodice, trouser, skirt basic blocks and Slopers in minutes using your own custom measurements. We also offer free tutorials on pattern cutting allowing you to turn your basic blocks into hundreds of different designs that accurately fit your body.
