   Judy is great at explaining and demonstrating- as always. It's a problem I actually have - shoulder slope - so Im serious about another video, PLEASE

   and now a video showing an adjustment to actually LOWER the seam please.
   Also - what about the side seam ? Doesn't the adjustment add or substract length that will change the dart and/or bust point?

   For those of you who couldn't get the video, perhaps your problem is the same as mine. I got a pop-up that said I need to update my Flash player.

   I cannot access the video even though I have a membership. Where is the link?

   I would have liked to see this but the video is not available. Why??? Why have a membership that I PAID FOR if I can not take advantage of the promised instructions. I am very disappointed.

   Hi, Topstitch.
   The fitting problem Judith shows on the T-shirt is actually just incidental--she commented on it because the model happened to be wearing a purchased top that showed a fit problem through the shoulder wrinkles.
   
   The adjustment she demonstrates is to a different design, a basic dress pattern. On the dress pattern, the shoulder slope needs to be raised. If she were working with the t-shirt pattern, the slope might need to be lowered, as you note. (In reality, on a RTW garment like that it would probably be easiest to just pop a thin shoulder pad in on the model's lower shoulder, to even the shoulders.)
   
   Sorry for any confusion!

   Thank you for this video. One clarification please:
   The fitting problem demonstrated at the beginning of the video and the pattern used during the adjustment process required opposite adjustments. (The t-shirt worn at the beginning needs to have the shoulder slope lowered, not raised in order to remove the extra fabric causing the pucker)?

   I find Judith's videos on fitting adjustment so helpful. All her videos are great. I have been sewing for years but believe my techniques have greatly improved. Thank Judith.
