The Magic of Templates

Season 13 Episode 1304

What is a template in sewing? It is a pattern or a part of a pattern that “works” and can be transferred and repeated from pattern to pattern. Using a template, you will know before you cut a new blouse that your neckline or arm hole will fit perfectly, saving time and frustration. Such a simple concept is genius. Peggy demonstrates how to make and use templates in this episode of Fit 2 Stitch.
