Pattern Description: Close fitting pullover top, sleeveless or long sleeves, neckline extending into collar or shawl collar

Pattern Sizing: 6 to 22 I made size 8 View C and B

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yes

Were the instructions easy to follow? Very Easy

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? Likes: fast to put together, well fitted top. This is my 4th time making view C other review Click Here
No dislikes

Fabric Used: View C Poly-Lycra knit from Joann's clearance $4.50/yd
View B Bamboo Lycra knit from highend fabrics ebay

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: None

Would you sew it again? yes yes yes
Would you recommend it to others? OOP but could be found on ebay

Conclusion:
View B
Flatlock front seam
Flatlocked all seams
Flatlock seams are done using one needle (left) with zero tension.
the loopers are as usual.
Sew seams then slightly pull the seam from the front side exposing a ladder stitch.
Newer sergers can do a two thread using a tool to bypass the upper looper. This gives even better results, seams are sewed wrong sides together then pulled flat giving a reversible look on both sides.
Unfortunately I gave that serger to DD so I did it with my older serger.

Your tops are lovely. Lucky DD has your serger and you've still managed to flat lock on your machine. Brilliant.
