E17 - Grading Patterns using Adobe Illustrator

This tutorial will help people that already know how to grade patterns, but don't have the funds to buy an expensive program to grade patterns on their computer.

OMG THIS IS AMAZING! i am in the fashion industry and we use CAD but this is a great way to do at home if you don't have the system! Thanks!

Thank you for such a great tutorial. How did you make your notch marks? Is it some sort of pre-defined symbol you placed on the line path or did you make it manually/.

[@Majoofi]

It would be great if you could do one on how to actually grade patterns.

Did you learn how to grade based on the book Concepts of Pattern Grading? I am looking to learn how to do it on the computer.

Can you do a video on grading please. I was hoping your tutorial was my saving grace but I am still lost. How do u know what points to plot on a bodice, is it in a book or another tutorial I can view. Then how do u use Adobe to get another pattern size.HELP!

How did you mimic a french curve onto illustrator?

[@PandemicApparel]

I traced it, scanned it into the computer and using the pen tool I traced around it. I'll be showing all of this in my next grading tutorial.

[@amandapietsch551]
