on video session 7 at around the 2 minute mark we watch as they are about to open the sleeve cap seam.
measuring down from the tacking mark we see the tape measure and a pin go in at the 3 cm mark at front and back. Then they say to transfer those marks to the other sleeve but when they measure down again the front measures 2.6cm and the back 4 cm.
what happened to the 3 cm? Does it matter?

Re: Jacket, shoulder shortening and shoulder pads - Chapter 7
Dear aussienic76,
 
When I am measuring on the armhole to mark the opening of the sleeve cap, I mention that we want to measure about 3 cm down from the fuchsia thread. However when I am measuring and pin marking from the fuchsia thread, it looks like I am doing so from the peach colored thread. Then later on when I am transferring the measurements from the front and back, to the other armhole. I measure from the peach colored thread. This makes the measurement 2.6 cm for the front and 4 cm for the back of the armhole.
 
These measurements could vary in every case from mine. However make sure to copy the exact amounts from the horizontal thread marks to the other armhole.
 
Hope this helps.
 
Happy sewing,
