If the material frays or not, if I want different seaming method... I get frustrated with US patterns because I need to draw the stitching lines without pattern after cutting fabric if I want to be super precise.JohannaShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08286970324780927274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9164425513478758458.post-1710969826099737312019-03-18T20:06:52.425-05:002019-03-18T20:06:52.425-05:00I'd not seen a raglan sleeve with a gather lik...I'd not seen a raglan sleeve with a gather like that before.

I have even seen the genius start chalking next to the pattern and make the seam allowance as wide as you want it to be. No measuring, just chalk away. Where the chalk ends is (because the pattern is there) where you stitch. I never done it like that myself, but it looked awesome.<br />Congrats on your first seam allowance free creation ;-)Nathalie V.http://nathaliesneedle.blogspot.benoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9164425513478758458.post-68133868273878541752019-03-14T11:19:07.395-05:002019-03-14T11:19:07.395-05:00Lovely.
