does anyone know what this mean?
I have a purse pattern, and in the cutting directions it tell me to: cut 4" OTL, what does OTL mean, I have no clue and have never seen this before.

off the length? I'd have to see more of the directions to be certain. perhaps because it is a purse it is referring to the lining?

OTL usually means "outside the lines" but it's a sports reference, so I am not sure how that applies to sewing on fabric.

I'm also thinking Off The Length ... perhaps these are your handles?
Look thru the pattern thoroughly ... there's probably somewhere that they have shown the acronyms they are using.

If they meant along the length of fabric, they should have said LOF (as opposed to WOF=width of fabric). OTL is a strange one.

OTL means on the line over here (seams included) but as suggested above I think it's best to check with the pattern maker.

I'm with you nativetexan.
Sure gets challenging to learn what all these letters mean.
Guess spelling it out is = NLAO = no longer an option.
