Invented by the Scottish clans in the Middle Ages, the pattern of the cell remains a cult icon to this day.
What is, in fact, a plaid?
This is a tissue with symmetrical cells from narrow and wide stripes.
And now we will use the occasion and talk about the features of cutting tissue into a cell (of all kinds).
Among tissues in a cell, tissues with an equilateral and versatile cell are distinguished. In the transverse direction at the seams of the product, tissue cells should be combined both on tissues with an equilateral, and on tissues with a versatile cell. So that the pattern alternation is symmetrical on the right and left symmetrical details of the cut, also in the longitudinal direction, when folding the tissue into the cell, it is necessary to pay attention to the fact that the cells are combined in the longitudinal direction. This means that the fold of tissue must pass exactly in the middle of the cell or exactly between two cells.
Important: when folding tissues with a versatile cell in the longitudinal direction, only one strip of the cell can combine, but never all of the stripes.
To prevent the cells from moving during cutting, the layers of tissue must be chipped in many places, while it is necessary to check how the cells lie in the longitudinal and transverse directions and whether they really fit together.
On all burda patterns for cage fabrics, the KARO line is shown on the paper pattern.In the transverse direction, when the details of the front or back are laid on the fabric, the cell line should lie on the same stripes of cells at all seams.
In order for the cells to also be aligned in the transverse direction on the front seams of the armholes, the paper pattern of the sleeve is punctured on the fabric so that the CELL line in the region of the sleeve rounded lies on the same strip of the cell as the CELL line in the front armhole.
On sleeves with two seams, the upper part of the sleeve is first cut out. Then, a paper pattern of the lower part of the sleeve is applied to the fabric so that the marked CELL line of the upper part and the lower part of the sleeve approximately in the middle of the sleeve is on the same line of the tissue cell.
