Free! Mini-Episode 59: Grading, Trimming, and Notching, Oh My!

We’re bringing this mini-episode out from behind the paywall as a treat for you! It was originally released in September 2024.

This mini-episode is about bread-and-butter sewing techniques that reduce bulk. We review the basics of grading, trimming, and notching, plus some more advanced and unexpected techniques that will give you a great finish. Caroline and Helen learn a lot about each other in this episode...👀 Let us know: do you trim your seams every time, or only when the pattern instructs you to?
