title: On the fold
---

When you have a pattern piece that is symmetric, the instructions might tell you that it is to be cut _on the fold_.

This means that only half the pattern piece is printed, and you should cut it out by folding your fabric, and
aligning the line that is _on the fold_ with the fold line indicated on the pattern.

The fold line is indicated with a double arrow like in this example:

<Legend part="cutonfold">A cut-on-fold indicator</Legend>

<Tip>

For an overview of all indicators on your pattern, refer to the [pattern notation guide](/docs/various/notation/)

feat: Flat import of markdown repo This is a flat (without history) import of (some of) the content from our markdown module. We've imported this without history because the repo contains our blog posts and showcases posts content prior to porting them to strapi. Since this contains many images, it would balloon the size of this repo to import the full history.
