Another shortening question Shortening a pattern
PattiMcW   Member since 8/26/07 Posts: 3	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 8/9/12 10:55 PM When you fold at the lengthen/shorten line to shorten a pattern l, do you fold the excess up or down? There's a difference in shape if you do it one way as opposed to the other. Thank you!!!!! Patti

Also, sometimes I'll even slash across the line and raise the piece above or below it to shorten. ------ "We don't impose our rhythm on Nature. The key is to respect and live within Her."
