There is also a key for right side wrong side for the paper pattern pieces and a different one for the fabric. That one got me!

Hi. The pattern i'm using (Butterick 6465) uses contrast fabric and has a separate layout for those pieces and some of them are hanging over the edge of the folded fabric. There doesn't seem to be any specific instructions for that part so do I just cut the other pieces out first and then unfold the fabric to cut out the ones hanging over? Thank you for any help.
