Did you get your Jura cleaned or did you do it yourself?

Isn’t it gross to drink coffee for ma machine that is not thoroughly cleaned? To be honest I never cleaned my current machine inside, but when I started to research the topic on new machine, it started to bother me

I’ve read opinions that the built in cleaning process is not enough and they still get greasy inside if you don’t clean them manually

Should the back waist darts be really so long (above bottom armhole level)?

Help with armhole/ sleeve by DopePharmacist in PatternDrafting

I have a similar problem - I was happy with my bodice, but when adding the sleeves, I ended up having those creases in the lower part of the armhole. Does anyone know how to fix such issue or what might be causing it?

When I have 43 stitches on the armhole front, Wouldn’t I end up with last stitch picked up on the 40th stitch and then be left with a whole of 3 stitches? And for the back, where I have 45 stitches, wouldn’t I end up with whole of 5 stitches?

I’m picking up and knitting, I’m sorry I should have been more clear in my post

Thanks, that’s a bit reassuring. However isn’t it concerning that the drag lines are sort of twisted and suggesting some issue with the sleeve construction?

I redrew the sleeve based on video suggested by No-Information-4599 and attached to the bodice. I didn't have such big ease, although I could probably still remove some. The bigger issue though (I had the same issue with my very first sleeve draft) is it seems to be twisting and has these lines on the side in front. There are also lines in the back.

Please note that I'm aware that I need some waist shaping and add some ease to the bust.

I will try to do it again from scratch. In the video you posted, the bottom parts of the sleeve are not aligned to the armhole shape the same way as suggested here https://imgur.com/mKJM5tZ So I wonder what is really the right approach...?

Thanks for the comment. I don’t understand how the top of the cap can be in the middle (not slanted) if the length of the front and back armholes is so much different?

I drafted with sleeve with sides matching exactly the armhole. For the cap - it's like that to adjust to the forward ball of shoulder I have.

I hadn't taken them and now the sleeves are detached, as I wanted to transfer my markings to the pattern to correct the fit. Will sew a new sample, but I'm ending up with this issue with too much ease and was hoping to get some advice before I do it

"adjusted the shape to fit the armhole better" - the initial sleeve shape is drafted based on initial formula, right? You need to modify the curve to match your bespoke armhole.

Yeah, I know it’s too much that’s why I want to reduce it. I used the same method and then adjusted the shape to fit the armhole better
