Reconstruct the last completed action from the fabric, notes and remaining material. Verify the current gauge before assuming an old tool size gives the same result.

## Before you start

Have the complete instructions, a short list of unfamiliar actions and the materials for a trial. Separate the trial from the final project.

## Try this example

On a piece marked “row 12,” inspect the chart and count actual rows before starting row 13. Make a short trial section and compare its width with the old fabric.

## Check your result

- Try the unfamiliar action before committing the main material. If the instructions leave a necessary choice unresolved, write down the missing information and resolve it first.
- A planning exercise is not a complete tested pattern. Project fit, construction and quantities still need their own instructions.
