Most other patterns don't seem to have those sharp inset corners but a more angled/sloped one; and that's the only kind anyone ever seems to address in sewing books. It's true that they're a lot easier to sew. But perhaps there's something sharper structure-wise about the inset corners?<BR/><BR/>If I remember correctly, a BWOF coat I made last year not only had the sharp inset corner, but when you sewed the collar neck in, once you got to the inset corners, you continued onwards into a shoulder dart too.

In either method you must take the turn of the cloth into account and be very thorough grading, clipping and pressing the seams open and making sure that the collar stand (inner and outer) SAs overlap exactly. Excllent job comparing the two methods!Tanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01073735708031525696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1288846139221731381.post-39517865125144308492008-02-12T09:09:00.000-05:002008-02-12T09:09:00.000-05:00I wonder if the BWoF method allows for less bulk i...I wonder if the BWoF method allows for less bulk in the notch? Burda methods often seem more complicated when you read through them, but produce nice results. My experience anyway.dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05106577421276201593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1288846139221731381.post-7290974563301943412008-02-11T12:35:00.000-05:002008-02-11T12:35:00.000-05:00I have not seen that collar construction in any Am...I have not seen that collar construction in any American patterns. Maybe Sigrid or Tany can tell you if that method is used in Knipmode or Patrones, respectively. That makes me wonder how Paco in Barcelona does his jacket collar/lapels.Summersethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00364235843222794829noreply@blogger.com
