What is the term for adjusting and revising a pattern drawing used to cut fabric?

Pattern matching Pattern alteration Pattern drafting Pattern grading

Correct Answer:

Pattern alteration

Explanation:

Adjusting and revising a pattern drawing used to cut fabric is called pattern alteration. This involves making changes to the pattern pieces to improve fit or to reflect different measurements, such as tweaking bust darts, waist shaping, sleeve length, or overall length after testing a muslin or fitting sample. The idea is to modify the existing pattern rather than starting from scratch. Pattern drafting would be creating a brand-new pattern from measurements. Pattern grading is resizing a pattern to create multiple sizes. Pattern matching refers to aligning fabric prints or designs so they line up at seams.
