Before marker making on a fabric, additional information must be marked on the
pattern pieces. Special lines on the main components determine the height and direc-
tion of the border pattern (see Fig. 14.42). A fabric allowance is left around the pattern
pieces of patterned components to enable the coordination of the pattern during the
second spreading operation. The length of a marker depends on the number of arti-
cles laid in it, the number of components in a garment, and the size and shape of the
components. Shorter markers make the coordination of patterns easier in all plies of
the lay.
