It has a few extra steps, but makes it much easier. You can sew 3/4 of the sleeve in flat, leave a couple of inches unsewn at the underarm. Then once you get the sleeve cap sewn, you can set the underarm as you normally would.

It would be so much easier for practicing putting one in, and for the fit too because it wouldn't go below your elbow.<br />Hugs, JoyJoyreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07390642536034678604noreply@blogger.com
