- Reading through the instructions on some patterns, I note that one (a Burda guide in a magazine) has one sew the sleeve front to the coat front, the sleeve backs to the coat backs, then the sleeve top seam, and the underarm seam last.
A Burda "regular" (in an envelope, but multi-size) has one stitch the underarm seam first, the sleeve-to-garment seam next, and the top sleeve seam last.
Any comments?
I suppose when I find a kiddie coat with raglan sleeve patterns, I could try out various sequences. But I haven't found one yet.
I cannot imagine topstitching the sleeve top seam in the second sequence. It is topstitched on a coat I own, and it's mentioned in the pattern instructions.
- The Burda magazine says that a "quilting attachment" will produce better topstitching lines. The one show is a sort of angled rod running through a foot. Any experience with these?
