Re: Trimming Tricks
I have used this technique for years. Several years ago I purchased a pair of applique scissors and found that they worked wonderfully for grading seam allowances. I found the technique especially helpful with trimming seam allowances for bras. When adding channelling to a padded bra, it is necessary to remove as much bulk as possible and this was a great way to speed up my work.
