I need sleeve help ASAP! =)
Greetings,
I am working on my first sleeve today. I just finished a 111" long sleeve that I started with 8.5" of fabric. I was told that I need to have a 4" sleeve. However, when I completed it and pinned it to my quilt, the flat portion measures 3.5" but the curved/bowed out portion measures 4.25" in length.
I must have done more than a 1/4" seam allowance for the stitching.
It was a good two hours of working since I spent a lot of time pressing the fabric to get nice lines since it was 111" long.
Do I need to scrap it since it is 3.5" on the bottom and 4.25" on the curved part?
My quilts are going to be in a big quilt show in September and I want to make them right since they will be doing a lot of traveling.
But in thinking about it, the bottom measure would have to be under 4" so that the top bows out. Could someone please tell me if I am right or wrong?
I have extra fabric to make a new one, but I was hoping to save a few hours since I have already put in 60+ hours the past few weeks.
Steve
