Buying print fabrics are fun! What isn't so fun? Deciding if you want to put the effort in matching that print and then trying to figure out how to go about it. Ugh! It just seems so hard! But if you ignore the print, it can make your project look unprofessional. Well, I do have some good news. When it comes to matching prints for pieces placed on top of another piece, like a patch pocket, it's actually very easy and only requires a little extra effort. Accuracy is key when it comes to matching a print effectively so a lot of care needs to be taken when it comes to pinning your pattern, cutting, and also sewing. But when you see the end results, it's amazing, almost as if your patch pocket disappears and doesn't stand out like a sore thumb. The trick demonstrated in this tutorial can work with any type of print. Now you can choose those fun prints and not have to stress about matching.
