Learn how to true a dart and tips for truing darts in this tutorial. Whenever you make amendments to an already existing pattern you need to 'true' the darts to make sure that the dart legs are the same length and the garment will sew together properly. The same rules apply if you are drafting your own patterns from a block/sloper.
