3.6.2 Fabrics with patterns in one direction only

All pattern pieces in a marker must lie in the same direction.

3.6.3 Fabrics with stripe patterns

When placing pattern pieces in a marker, a symmetrical pattern has to be obtained with
symmetrical components (see Fig. 3.1) (see Chapter 13). Because of the necessity of
matching the pattern, the marker efficiency decreases.

3.6.4 Fabrics with check patterns
When placing pattern pieces, the vertical and horizontal stripes must be coordinated in
all components (see Fig. 3.2) (see Chapter 14). Because of the necessity of matching
the pattern, the marker efficiency decreases.

3.6.5 Fabrics with large and regularly repeating patterns
The placement of the main pattern pieces must be coordinated with a pattern. Fabrics
of this kind are mainly used for styles having a small number of components (see
Fig. 3.3) (see Chapter 15). Because of the necessity of matching the pattern, the
marker efficiency decreases.

3.6.6 Fabrics with border patterns

Pattern pieces are placed across the fabric and marker. The placement of the main
pattern pieces must be coordinated with the pattern. Smaller and less important pat-
tern pieces may be placed in areas without a pattern (see Fig. 3.4) (see Chapter 16).
Because of the necessity of matching the pattern, the marker efficiency decreases.
