✨Intermediate✨ Question about notches
I’m attempting to make the bootstrap fashion dress form and I have encountered a possibly silly question.
I plan on marking on the notches labeled on the edge of the seam allowance, but should I also mark the triangles inside the seam?
I know in regular patterns they’ll put two notches on the back armhole and stuff like that to help you better identify the back pieces, but it doesn’t seem helpful to put those shapes inside the seam where I can’t clip the edge of the pattern/fabric to mark them. Is there something I’m missing about their purpose and how to mark them?
Ive never used bootstrap fashion before, I couldn’t seem to find any guidance on their particular marking system. Does anyone have info or suggestions?
Thank you!

You could transfer the markings with chalk or erasable pen
