In classic hand tailoring, twill tape is applied by hand all around the jacket front.

It says explicitly not to put it in the dryer though, so I will just try and be patient while it dries (and use my Moby wrap in the meantime). Elizabeth J.

It took me a while to figure out how it works (all those parts of inches take some time to take root in my metric-operating brain), but it actually makes perfect sense.

I have the book, but it has a differnet cover here in the U.K. and some of the pictures are different; but the content is the same.<br /><br />I am busy with other projects at the moment, but I am excited now I have my mohair/wool/cashmere fabric ready and waiting for my very first tailored jacket. By that I mean my first adventure into pad stitching, tailors canvas etc. I think I will probably be e mailing you for guidance once I get underway.<br /><br />Have to say, I have read through this book a few times and I love that it has so many pictures to guide me along the way. Like you, I think its a fabulous book.<br /><br />Oh, your pattern arrived the other day, and my teenage daughter approves of my choice for her summer dress from me...............a gertie pattern!!<br /><br />Hope your Mum is improving.<br />Hugs from the U.K.<br />Marysia.Marysiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17959080591821794196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-75376820591151210662013-04-04T15:16:49.918-04:002013-04-04T15:16:49.918-04:00I really have to thank you Gertie for being so on ...I really have to thank you Gertie for being so on point and generous with your information! ;) Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14033986910204306002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-57045829092830443382013-04-04T14:57:33.424-04:002013-04-04T14:57:33.424-04:00I bought this book last month, thanks to your reco...I bought this book last month, thanks to your recommendation, and am so excited to start using it. In fact I wish I would have used it on my last project-a 1940's suit. The pattern instructions called for twill tape to be stitched along the front edges, centered on the seam line, and I didn't do it because I was trying to avoid bulk. Had I checked out the book, I could have used this method.Jeannie Watthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13979051628793794840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-39524755725274831412013-04-04T14:48:10.839-04:002013-04-04T14:48:10.839-04:00Thanks for the heads up with the book, another one...Thanks for the heads up with the book, another one for the shelf :D<br /><br />Bundana @ <br />http://www.bundana.blogspot.co.ukAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03868738547454207596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-68579199629008480182013-04-04T13:43:24.616-04:002013-04-04T13:43:24.616-04:00Wow, so many questions!
