On the rare occasion that I venture into couture techniques, it's helpful for preparing for the thread tracing. Thank you for a well -conceived video. Kay in Dallas, Texas
I have a question related to notches. In the section at 7:42 you mentioned counts for the side seams, front and back and for a center-back.
Do the counts refer to the number of notches for a dress or is this a general count for patterns?
Do you happen to have a video that explains or shows that a little more? I would really appreciate any other pointers in that regard.
Thanks!
