Teresa Pople.unsure how this works
When I set an amount in the Cap ease box using the sleeve editor function, the amount shown on the pattern is different.
If I want to have a particular amount for cap ease do i have to keep changing the amount in the cap ease box until this amount shown? This doesn't seem likely so I'm wondering why the amounts are different.

Teresa,
I asked this exact same question to Kaaren last week in her class. Problem is I can't remember the answer. I think she said that what you enter is the correct number. Maybe Kaaren can chime in her and confirm that for us.
Thanks for asking, it is a very good question.

How close are they? In my fitted shirt if I enter 1" cap ease, on the screen to the right it shows I have 1.04" cap ease -- that's close enough -- much better than 1.5 would be.
So I wouldn't worry if it is a couple/few hundredths off -- remember 1 1/8 inch would be 1.125" so 1.04 is very acceptable.

Kaaren HobackCap ease can be effected by cap height and bicep ease.
Increase bicep ease reduces cap height, increasing cap ease increases cap height.
It is a balancing act!
