Q: When you have all of your materials together, take all of the pattern sheets out of the package. Lay one out on a table or other clean, flat work surface and begin cutting around the edges of the pieces as indicated. You should see lines on your package indicating where to cut for each size. Cut along the lines indicated for your size.  Cut carefully and make sure that you do not cut the pattern smaller than indicated. You should aim to cut right on the lines or just outside the lines. You may even find it helpful to highlight the lines of the pattern size that you need to make. You will need to lay out your fabric and then fold it in half. Use your pattern’s instructions as a guide to pin your pattern pieces to the fabric.  Every pattern will be a little different, so it is important to follow the instructions carefully.  If you are unsure about what any of the symbols mean, then check the pattern instructions for a glossary.  If you are feeling lost, then you may need to learn how to read a pattern first. You may even consider making a few sewing lessons to improve your sewing skills before you attempt to make a ballgown. After you have finished pinning your pattern pieces to the fabric for your ball gown, you can begin cutting around the edges of your pattern. Make sure to cut along the edges of the pattern pieces and not outside or inside of them. Do not cut inside of the lines or your ballgown may turn out too small. . Every pattern is different, so it is important to follow the directions for the ballgown pattern you have chosen. You will likely need to pin identical pieces of fabric together and then sew along the edges as indicated by the pattern to assemble your dress.
A: Cut out the pattern pieces as indicated. Fold your fabric and pin the pattern pieces onto it as indicated. Cut out the fabric along the edges of the pattern. Follow the pattern’s instructions for sewing the fabric pieces together

Article: Fertilizer can be harmful to the skin. During the process of handling fertilizer, make sure to wear gloves the entire time. You can purchase thick garden gloves at most hardware stores. You may also want to consider protective covering for your eyes and mouth, especially if it's a windy day. Once you've obtained the proper amount of fertilizer, mix as directed. Here, you will have to refer to the directions that came with your fertilizer. Many fertilizers must be diluted with a certain amount of water prior to use. To figure out the right water-to-fertilizer ratio, read your instruction's manual.  Unless you're using organic or homemade fertilizer, it's very important to read the instructions. You should also follow safety instructions carefully.  If you went for a pellet based fertilizer, it probably does not require mixing. You will simply scoop out the pellets and drop them around your tree. Dripping fertilizer too close to the trunk can harm your tree. Drip a circle of fertilizer about a foot away from the trunk. The precise amount you'll use depends on your tree's age and the instructions that came with your fertilizer. If you're using pellets, sprinkle the pellets in a circle a foot away from the tree's trunk. The drip line is the perimeter formed by the furthest reaching branches of the tree. Again, you'll want to start the fertilizer about a foot from the trunk and spread it evenly until it’s just past the drip line. The tree’s roots extend at least this far and this will encourage the roots to spread out, strengthening the tree in the long run.  You can use a rake or other tool to spread the fertilizer. It can help to draw a line signifying the drip line in the ground before you start. This can help you see how far to spread the fertilizer. The maximum amount of nitrogen fruit trees can handle is one pound. If you're using 10-10-10 ratio fertilizer, 10 pounds would be the maximum you could use. If you were using 12-12-12 ratio fertilizer, do not exceed 8.3 pounds. Overuse of fertilizer can actually lessen fruit growth.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Wear protective gloves when handling fertilizer. Mix the fertilizer as recommended. Drip the fertilizer into the ground a foot away from the trunk. Spread the fertilizer just past the drip line. Stay within the maximum limits of nitrogen.

Q: It's easier to put the belt on properly if the patient is seated upright with their feet flat on the floor and their arms to their sides (but not right up against their body). This is also the best position for using the gait belt to help move a patient from a bed or chair to a wheelchair or other seat. Gait belts are most effective when used on patients who are able to sit upright, but who need assistance standing and moving to a nearby seat. Ask the patient to lift their arms slightly if necessary, then wrap the belt around their midsection, right over their clothing. However, make sure there are no medical tubes or wires—for instance, an oxygen tube—running underneath the belt. If there are any wires or tubes in the way, carefully feed the belt underneath them, so the belt is between the tube/wire and the patient's clothing. The belt should not wrap right over the patient's hip bones, or around the bottom of their ribcage. Make sure it's wrapped over their waistline, so that the bottom of the belt is just at the tops of their hip bones. Feel for the hip bones to confirm the belt is in the right location. Standard gait belts use a metal buckle with a loop at each end, one of which has gripping teeth inside the loop. Position the belt and buckle so that, when the strap is wrapped around the patient's body, the first loop it encounters is the one with the teeth.  The teeth should also be pointing outwards, away from the patient's belly, not inwards towards it. Not all gait belts have metal buckles with teeth. Quick-release belts, for instance, often have plastic buckles that snap together.
A:
Have the patient sit upright on the edge of the bed or chair. Wrap the belt over clothing but not any tubes or wires. Position the belt at the waist, just above the hips. Make sure the teeth of a standard belt are in the right spot.
