Large double or triple perforations, which show the fold of the material. Small single or double perforations, used to mark the natural waistline. Large and small single perforations, the purposes of which are always shown in the directions. Lines of small perforations, used to indicate darts. Notches, used at seam edges to show edges which are to be joined. Edges marked with notches are put together with the corresponding notches matching.
