I have some free tissue fitting video's and I'm sure you will learn a lot by watching it. You could visit my fitting forum where you will find the tissue fitting video's http://www.perfectsewandfit.com/forum/index.php Sewing is fun, but only when you can use what you have made :-) Hi Anne,

I am a Palmer Pletsch Certified instructor, and I give classes online. I also have a forum where people could ask for fitting help at anytime. I love to see the awesome fit my students get, and the excitement about sewing for themselves after they have completed just one project. Tissue fitting is the best ! :-) I enjoyed your article about the front bust adjustment, and how you enjoy the fitting classes. I am a Palmer Pletsch Certified instructor, and I give classes online.

All the sudden things I sewed were fitting me appropriately--which was a big deal, since I have particularly small shoulders and I was making sizes that were way too big for me. It's amazing. The other reference book that I love for fitting is Sandra Betzina's "Fast Fit." The FBA was a huge revelation for me when I finally figured it out.

I'm looking foward to Saturday but I'm having trouble picking which pattern I want help in fitting. On a side note, I picked you for a blog award on my blog if you like to play along with those. No biggie, if not. I do love your blog - so much fun stuff! =) Hi Kathy,
