Q. How can I get custom-fit patterns?
A. To enjoy the benefits of custom-fit patterns you must first become a Tarseam member.
Q. What are custom-fit patterns by Tarseam?
A. Custom-fit patterns are pattern styles that have been individually drafted to a person's measurements and body characteristics.
Taresam Patterns provides these patterns that fit your personalized measurements. Once your measurements are taken, Taresam drafts patterns to fit your body.
Taresam Patterns recognizes that all women and man are different shapes and sizes. Combine that with height variations and the combinations are endless. No matter what your numerical size, we draft your patterns to your unique body shape!
Q. How can I get my measurements taken?
A. They are two ways to get your measurements taken.
Measurements can be taken manually or by the bodyskanner™.
Manually you, with the help of a friend, can take your measurements by using a measuring tape for more information view measurements pages, Once you have taken your measurements, you can enter them directly on text boxes in measurements page or by e-mail to support@tarseam.com.
Measurements can also be taken by the bodyskanner™ . These measurements will be automatically entered into your Tarseam file once they have been confirmed.
Q. What is the bodyskanner™?
A. The bodyskanner™ is like a dressing room in a store only when you walk in, it scans your entire body from head to toe to get a set of measurements accurate within 1/16th of an inch. The bodyskanner™ captures your precise measurements and all of your body information.
The bodyskanner™ is a fast, accurate, private and hassle-free way of getting your measurements.
Q. How do I get my measurements after I have been scanned by the bodyskanner™?
A. You will receive a confirmation of your measurements three to four weeks after you are scanned. At this time, you will be asked to verify five basic measurements before we draft your pattern (s).
As a member, your set of accurate measurements will be printed on your patterns when you receive them. You can keep these measurements for your own records.
Your measurements are also available on our website so you can login and access them anytime.
Q. How are my patterns made?
A. Once we have your measurements, they are entered into Tarrah System. When you order a pattern, Tarseam drafts your pattern to fit your body. A quality assurance check is then done to make any final adjustments necessary for the most accurate fit.
When this is all completed, the patterns are printed, packed and shipped directly to you!
Q. What does the pattern look like when I receive it?
A. Tarseam's patterns are printed on heavy bond paper and packed in a sealable plastic bag. Our markings and pattern symbols are very similar to traditional patterns. The packages are re-sealable and can be used to store the pattern without damaging the paper.
Q. Do the patterns come with sewing directions?
A. Tarseam's pattern package contains the pattern and the pattern guide sheet. The package will also provide you with an instruction sheet on fabric fitting.
Q. Once I receive my pattern, do I have to make any adjustments?
A. Since patterns are made custom-fit for your body, you do not have to adjust the paper pattern, however, fabric fitting is essential for all patterns. While the patterns are drafted to your personal measurements, it is still important to fabric fit. The patterns do not take into account the type of fabric you are going to use or the amount of ease you want for a certain garment. Fabric fitting will allow you to adjust for different fabrics, ease preferences and minor weight changes.
Before you begin to sew, it would be beneficial for you to take a moment and read over the fabric fitting instructions to understand their importance. This will ensure your garments fit the way you like once the garments are completed.
