a friend is interviewing at a historical reenactment costume shop and part of the 'practical exam' is hand grading.
are there any newsgroups or online resources for help on learning to hand grade patterns?
thanks, brian

Not that I know of, but Barbara Deckert's Sewing for Plus Sizes has the rudiments of grading in it, and it's pretty common library fodder. For a more thorough discussion, do a quick search over at amazon.com for "pattern grading" in books... quite a few titles are available.
Any good pattern drafting book will show you how to grade.
