Hello, I realize this topic is more than 4 years old but I have some questions on it and I hope someone might be able to help!
1) I’ve been following Nancy Zieman’s pivot and side method and she makes changes for 8 seams not 12. Always adding the increase to only one side of the pattern piece. Does putting the increase equally on both sides of the pattern piece not distort the grain?
2) I am working on a dress with princess seams where the seams meet at the armpit not up at the shoulder. I am confused as to where to pivot on pattern pieces 2 & 4. Has anyone used this method on this type of princess seam? Should I pivot at the red dot or the blue dot? Or both depending on where I’m adding volume?
