The seam method of pattern alteration

Article Abstract:

The seam method of pattern alteration is an innovative technique that is easy to do. Altering the seamline of a pattern causes the least distortion of the pattern. Alterations at the stitching line may be corrected without shifting the grainline and changes to the lengths of nearby seams may be minimized.
