# Create the pattern

### **Step 1: Download Reference Image**

Insert the reference image for the pattern and adjust it to align with the reference line. Take your time to ensure it's well-positioned.

### **Step 2:  Curator**

Then, go to the **Curator** panel, and select the curves from the first model that were previously saved. If the curves aren’t saved, you can recreate them using the same measurements as the first model of this collection.
