Featured in the PR book!

Are you unsure of your Kwik Sew pattern size or have fitting issues requiring pattern adjustments to Kwik Sew patterns?

The folks at Kwik Sew recently added a fit guide (.pdf) to their Customer Support page. Click on Measuring & Pattern Alteration Guide under the heading Measuring & Basic Pattern Alterations for their 'indispensible reference guide for all skill levels'.

The KS guide is worth checking out for the bust / cup size info alone.

And in case you haven't determined your correct pattern size in the Big4 (Simplicity / McCall's / Vogue / Butterick), here's the link to their Do You REALLY Know Your Pattern Size? Fit Brochure. (Mentioned often on PatternReview message boards -- thought it'd be handy to have both in one spot.)

	ryan's mom said... I rarely use KS patterns, but the guide was helpful in that it shows KS recommends using the full bust measurement. I always wondered about this. 5/22/08 6:36 AM
	kellymailinglist said... The KS guide is great! So clear... I wish I'd known to look under Support on their website a long time ago. Thanks so much! 5/22/08 8:08 AM

	Karla Kizer said... I had no idea this feature was there, or had been added. Now we have a place to send new KS users for comprehensive information and clear instructions. The bust size information was especially useful, and I was delighted to find out that for years, I had been petiting their patterns correctly. Thank you! 5/22/08 1:17 PM
