Hopefully, this is an easy question. Step 2 under "assemble the bodice" instructs to fold and press the center back edges of the lining by 5/8". It may help to run a basting stitch 5/8" from the cut edge to use as folding guide.
So, is the fold itself 5/8" (folding ON the basting stitch), or am I running a basting stitch and folding TO that stitch (making the fold 5/16")?
Thanks so much! So far, the dress is coming along. I skipped making the lining and have gotten as far as inserting the zipper. The walking foot has been essential w/ the velvet, but I haven't run into any major snags...yet :)
