Grading—creating all the sizes—is the most challenging task in preparing a pattern for publication. This session goes beyond customary tutorials about mathematical calculations and instead dives into the whats, the hows and the whys of grading. We’ll define the crucial elements of the task and discuss strategies for tackling them. Along the way, we’ll talk about resources for body sizing information, and discuss how to determine an appropriate size range for your design to make it marketable to a wider audience.
