i want to put shoulder gussets on the shirt i'm making. the gussets are triangular, about 2.5" per side. on my toile i sewed the gusset to the front shoulder seam, then sewed the front to the back at the shoulders, sewing along the other side of the gusset when i came to it. this left a weird looking little gather near the point. while i know it's not the end of the world, little wrongnesses like that drive me buggy. how do i get the gusset to lie smoothly? should i seam the shoulder & then install the gusset? is there a way to clip the seam so it lies flat nicely that i'm missing? maybe i need to change the size/shape of the gusset? lee
