When may I rotate pattern pieces?
Material direction, pile and patterns determine permitted orientation.
Set permitted rotations based on material and construction. Pile, coatings, stretch and visible patterns may constrain orientation. A tighter layout is only usable when these rules are respected.
- 01Material rule
- 02Permitted rotation
- 03Usable marker
Common mistake
Comparing higher utilisation using different rotation constraints.
What to check next
- Record grain and visible material direction.
- Document permitted rotations for each piece.
- Compare two markers only with the same piece list, width and constraints.
Practical foundation; not instructions for a verified CutCortex command.
