The instructions in the book call for a whole heap of cutting and notching to get princess seams to lie flat, but there’s no mention of that here. What’s up with that? (Apologies if this is a dumb question – I’m in the process of becoming a self-taught sewust!) Thanks so much.

I’ve been sewing for a while, but every new kind of pattern seems to confound me a bit!
