In this sewing tutorial, learn when to clip vs. notch curves, and why getting it right makes the difference between smooth seams and puckered ones. In this sewing tips tutorial, I'll show you exactly what to do!
If you've ever had an armhole, neckline, or Peter Pan collar that wouldn't lie flat, this may be what you've been missing. I cover how to clip inner curves and notch outer curves, so you'll always know exactly which technique to reach for, and when.
