Will do! Gracias!

Can’t wait to see you Sarvi! Holler if you need anything when you arrive, and have a great trip!

Timely thread – my (paper! Woohoo!) patterns arrived this afternoon and I was just reading the FBA directions on this – step 5 says to end the dart about 1″ from the marked apex, which seemed strange to me – but I guess your issue is why, Sarvi
