Cutting

German:
Zuschnitt

Cutting transfers the pattern pieces onto the fabric and cuts them out, following the grainline and the number of pieces required.

In the file

Cutting works from the contour of the file. That is why it has to be clear whether the contour is the cut edge or the seam line, because the difference is the seam allowance.
