 Why don't you use french curves and other types of curves to draw in the curvey lines in patterens? Nehzat draws them beautifully but I have difficulty drawing the curved lines freehand as they usually flatten out. 

If you do use curves, could you demonstrated on how to use them to get the best curve possible. Thank you.

RE: Drawing Curved Lines in pattern making

Hi

Since the French curve doesn't always work well with the curve that should pass from different points, I prefer to do it free hand. With practice anyone can draw curved lines. If the curved line doesn't come out the way you want it, you can always erase it and make it better.

I will also make a video on how to draw cureved lines using a French curve tool in the near future.

Regards
Nehzat

I have to say "Thank you" again Nehzat (I missed spelled you name in my last note, I'm sorry).

I usually use a cruve but I am not experience in there use so I will appreciate seeing how you use the curves. There are so many different kinds of curves it is hard to figure out which one to use. Thank you for your willingness to show us. Sandra Taylor
