I am making a jacket for myself.My sloper is good. The panel jacket standard fit, strangely the armhole was bigger than the sleeve. The front armhole was 1 inch bigger. Tried the fitted blazer and find that the sleeve has 1 inch more on the front armhole depth than the back. There was some chat on the other list but haven't seen it here. Is this something already reported and to be fixed in the next update this week I believe? I have DS6Pro with all the bells and whistles

I recently made the panel jacket, casual fit and removed 1" from the back bust ease (I don't need as much BB ease as given) and my sleeve had absolutely no ease at all. Didn't file a problem report, probably should have. It looks OK but would look better with some ease in the cap.

removing the back bust ease should not remove back cap ease.


It may reduce it slightly but not remove it
.I just ran the panel jacket and remove back ease to 0 and the cap ease on back went from slightly over 3/4 to slightly under 1/2 .
You can adjust cap ease in the sleeve tool.

Kaaren, the pattern draft says the sleeve has 1.29" of ease, but in reality there is "none", just barely got the sleeve into the armscye.

Have you made one lately?

actually yes...I also drafted the pattern in full scale and walked the sleeve stitch line to the arm hole stitch line from the underarm towards apex. Frotn and back. To test results after reading your initial report.
The sleeve was larger than the arm hole ......
please send in a problem report which will attach your chart.

That way we can see your results and try and figure out why.

Just because I can not replicate it doesnt mean we are saying yours isnt doing what you say.it just means with the charts we use for testing we cant replicate that everyone will have the same issue and call it a bug.

Only a problem report will show the issue.
