If you are adding set in sleeves to a woven garment, then this technique is a game-changer!

Crimping!

When we post on this subject we are inundated with "thank you!" comments and it really is super helpful.

As always, there are many different ways to reach the same conclusion, and it is very apparent that different people, in different parts of the world, learn different methods of construction - and that's OK!

It just goes to show, it's all the same in the end :-)

As always, when you are trying something new, practice on test fabric. You don't need to make the whole garment if you are practicing one specific bit. Practice that bit!
