I do this too! How logical it would be if the pattern companies did mark this. Alas, they are quite illogical and directions on patterns are quite poor these days. Inexpensive sewing literature (pamphlets) from the '40's through the early '60's that often came free with the sewing machine or was available for pennies was so comprehensive it puts today's patterns (and some glossy and expensive books) to shame! Thanks for your sewing tip!

What a great tip - Thanks for sharing. I am going to do this all the time now - That makes sooooooo much sense.

Kwik-Sew patterns always mark the centers where ever they are with a notch. For other patterns, I draw a notch at the center of the sleeve cap before cutting the pattern out. That way it's always there.

This is an important tip. I would also add that it's also necessary to mark center front and back which pattern companies don't always do. In the garment industry, we always marked those..

Great tip..I always do this also..in fact, I cut notches at every marking point on the pattern..and I cut my notches out, not in..a legacy from my tailor grandmother..I'm glad to know I'm not the only one doing this..
