 Since the videos are measured in metirc units, if I use inches are the ratios still the same or do I need to convert to centimeters? For example, when adjusting for darts and crotch seam there is some dividng into 9 etc. Will it make a difference which units I use?

Re: converting metric to inches

Dear missrefano,

 
Thanks for your question. I suggest you whatch the metric vs imperial measuring system video lesson.
 
The outcome will be the same either way you measure. However all calculators are in the metric system so it is easier to add, subtract, multiply and divide numbers. That's why it is easier to work with the metric system. Try using measuring tools  (ruler, measuring tape) that have both metric and imperial to make it easier to convert the measurements into metric while you are measuring.
 
 
 
Happy sewing,
