This was then adjusted again by taking a triangular sliver from one side of the cuff and adding a rectangular piece to the other side which made the vent. I can send you a picture of my adjusted pattern piece as a result if you like?<br />I'll admit I never paid a scrap of attention to the added seam allowances on any of the pattern pieces for this pattern... it was erroneous information at the time of muslin-ing! Technically if you're using the match points (the little circles) then the presence of or lack of a step shouldn't make any difference. I suppose it's all about what we expect to see (a stepped seam allowance) rather than what's actually going to help us sew better (the match points)! I'm looking forward to reading about your progress :)poppykettlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05089242289854891320noreply@blogger.com
