My method, which is not always successful, is to trim the pattern to the outer-most line and then fold over the larger sizes, clipping where necessary on curves. If a piece is really confusing, I'll trace it onto paper, either computer paper if it's small, freezer paper, or brown wrapping paper. I don't like using commercial patterns - the sizes don't match me. Last year, I needed to make a couple of modern formals for a convention and went bonkers trying to remember how to put in a zipper!

I have a multi-size tissue pattern that I would like to use several times, and make in more than one size. What is your favorite method of preserving patterns to keep them intact? In the past, I have fused the tissue to muslin, but those were *very* simple children's play clothes, and eyeballing the cutting line for a smaller size was simple. Suggestions?
