How to extrapolate grade rules from a basic block, sloper, or pattern

This video explains the process the process of pulling grading data from a graded nest (whether a block, sloper, or pattern) and how to use it  to develop a coordinate grade rule table. Designers and pattern makers need grading data to determine how a pattern will grow or shrink between sizes, and standard rules have been developed for the grading of certain common points on a garment.  The garment used in this example is a pant block.  Standard grade rules that a designer uses in his or her commercial patterns should be purchased and using another designer's grade rules is unethical and illegal.  Academic slopers, blocks, and grading books have been published to meet this need. Standard grade rules are a starting point for any designer, and should be subject to fit testing based on your design, choice of fabric, target clientele, and here: https://www.printablepaper.net/previe...
