CFF
SewingCenter front fold
Description
A sewing instruction indicating that the center front edge of a pattern piece must be aligned with the fabric fold.
Detailed explanation
In sewing patterns, CFF signifies that the designated edge represents the center of the garment’s front and must be aligned with the fabric’s fold. This technique allows for cutting a single, symmetrical piece that opens to cover the full front, eliminating the need for a center seam. It is frequently used for bodices, skirts, and facings.
