This is a personal preference of mine since I prefer using the thread traced lines as a guide for machine stitching. Using the muslin as a pattern is also a good idea but it would imply precise cutting the SAs on the muslin and stitching at a predefined distance from the edge on the fashion fabric.

The reason it is a mostly unknown technique here is that American pattern co's all include a standard 5/8" seam allowance. In order to thread trace with the patterns we are accustomed to working with, we'd first need to lop off the seam allowance from the pattern. <BR/>It makes for a more accurate fitting, but most of us don't take that kind of time for daily projects. <BR/>Thank you for demonstrating so thoroughly your technique. <BR/>I've done it the way you just showed, with both layers, only once. Usually, when I'm thread tracing, I'm doing it around a muslin pattern that's already been fit then cut apart to use as a pattern, so I have full pieces, right and left, single layer. <BR/>Do you ever make a fitting muslin then cut it apart and use the muslin as pattern?Marjihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08695305834402487163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1707374644461378032.post-82906419666988212262007-06-15T08:41:00.000+01:002007-06-15T08:41:00.000+01:00Katrin: I couldn't agree more with you.

My only doubt here is this: if I'm using my large mother of pearl buttons and bound buttonholes like I plan to, horizontal buttonholes will be more appropriate. But I still have to run some tests first because I don't know yet about the topstitching and my decision on the buttons isn't final yet.<BR/><BR/>Thank you all for visiting!Tanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01073735708031525696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1707374644461378032.post-91598085731628412822007-06-15T08:32:00.000+01:002007-06-15T08:32:00.000+01:00Tany,you are right with your buttonhole strategy. ...Tany,<BR/><BR/>you are right with your buttonhole strategy. <BR/>I have never seen buttonholes marked like this.<BR/>Personally I would go for vertical buttonholes for a blouse, but that definitely depends on the style.<BR/><BR/>Best regards,<BR/>KatrinKatrinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02567612404559746981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1707374644461378032.post-44545000931775640852007-06-14T23:09:00.000+01:002007-06-14T23:09:00.000+01:00I agree with you on the buttonhole placements!I agree with you on the buttonhole placements!Erica Bunkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07023668349294387098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1707374644461378032.post-54918589454143828322007-06-14T21:54:00.000+01:002007-06-14T21:54:00.000+01:00Can't wait to see the tracing with thread techniqu...Can't wait to see the tracing with thread technique....Adriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12818182968849661620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1707374644461378032.post-52709033764279524552007-06-14T21:29:00.000+01:002007-06-14T21:29:00.000+01:00I definitely agree with you on the buttons.
