Which term describes the pattern instruction to place the pattern piece on the fold?

• A. Seam Allowance
• B. Place on Fold
• C. Spool Pin
• D. Pin Cushion

Answer: (B)

Placing a pattern piece on fold is about how you position the pattern when you’re using folded fabric. When a piece is meant to be cut on the fold, you align the edge of the pattern with the fabric’s folded edge and cut around it. After you open the fabric, you’ll have a single, symmetrical piece without a center seam, because the fold acts as the mold for the other side. This is different from seam allowance, which is extra fabric added around edges for sewing pieces together, and from spool pins or pin cushions, which are tools not related to how you lay out pattern pieces.
