I struggle with the pivot and slide instructions in this book. I purchased Pattern Fitting with Confidence to help me understand better. Pattern Fitting with Confidence has only the most basic patterns, but you get more explanation of the technique. I am such a novice that I need all three books Fitting & Pattern alteration (all three methods, but pivot and slide is difficult to follow), Fit For Real People (slash method) and Pattern Fitting with Confidence (pivot and slide method).<br /><br />Hope this helps!NuJoihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14082462241210413826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5361576483662112061.post-37425566928022455542011-06-07T13:32:38.306-05:002011-06-07T13:32:38.306-05:00I'm considering buying this book. I looked at ...I'm considering buying this book. I looked at a sample chapter at the Fairchild Publishers site. I use the 'pivot and slide' method to alter my patterns and this is the only book I've found that features that method, although the authors seem to prefer the 'seam method'. One thing is preventing me from pulling out my debit card! I noticed the pattern alterations are shown on a basic fitting pattern rather than a fashion pattern. Fashion patterns were shown at the end of each section, but no text was included and the illustrations were primarily for the seam method. Was is easy to apply the pivot and slide techniques to fashion patterns?
