Marking the Fur for Cutting

Debbie Colgrove, Licensed to About.com
Cut out all of your pattern pieces by removing all excess paper from around the cutting lines.

Due to the thickness of fur, I recommend weights to hold your pieces in place. Pins tend to get buried and distort the paper, causing your cut out piece to be distorted.

Lay the pattern piece on the wrong side or back side of the fur.
Use a marking pencil to mark the cutting lines on the fabric back of the fur.
