Joy, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. This is exactly the series I need. I asked how to do a FBA with FitNice and you gave me the whole shebang. Thank you, Sandy

“Gotta slap your ruler down!” I LOVE it!!!!! ❤️❤️ I laughed all the way through. I’ve watched this a couple of times already and haven’t even watched part 2 and 3 yet. There is so much to learn. Great job! You always make my day.

I love the way you teach. You don't talk down to us and you don't talk over our heads. Thanks.

I don't usually comment but I feel I ought to say how helpful I found this video.Having just purchased Judy Kessinger's fit nice system , in which she gives some fab advice, I just love that you have gone the extra mile with your advice. My figure measurements are similar to yours , Joy & also need all the alterations you have done to your pattern.Think I have purchased so many online classes concerning fitting issue & I learnt so much more with this video It is my favourite. I live in the UK & would just like to say how much I appreciate the time & effort you put into your teaching.Thank you

I just love the way you explain everything. You are a great teacher. I actually think I can do this.

I love,love,love you. I just recently discovered you. I am 66 and have been sewing since I was 9 years old. Even with all my years sewing I have and will continue to learn new ways from you. Thanks

Joy!! What an excellent demonstration for using an outlining drawing for shoulder sloping and armhole depth. You are so thorough in your explanations. God bless and continue to spread your 'joy' around.

The amount of fitting and sewing knowledge you have is unbelievable. I envy you and hope to one day make this second nature in my sewing like you do. Wow!

Joy I just love your little stories, that's some of the best parts of your video. Wish I could have had instruction like this when I first began to sew would have saved me so much frustration.

"Slap that ruler down." You're a good teacher. Thank you for this video.

What a wonderful teacher AND entertainer. You keep me laughing. Love having my three cups of coffee while visiting with you.

Joy, you are an amazing teacher and an absolute “Joy” to watch! Thank you so much for these tutorials. I know this was a lot of work for you and I want you to know I really appreciate all that you have done and are doing.

Thanks for the early release!!!!!!! You are so wonderful & giving of your time & knowledge to help us. Blessings & Hugs

Hi, Joy, I quite envy the fact that you can make all those exact alterations on automatic pilot! They are slowly sinking in at last with me! Thank you for doing these videos! Kind regards from Penny in Liverpool 🇬🇧😊💕

You’re so cute. Thank you, thank you for this tutorial. Our bust measurements are the same, but I have a large tummy and somewhat larger hips. I have sloping shoulders and a high rounded back ( which I had at age 18 in photographs. I’m also short waisted. I took flat pattern methods in college. I forgot most of it( I’m 74) until I watched this. Again, thanks so much. This was a godsend.

I thought I have watched every Peggy KZfaq, I missed this one, THANK You for sharing this!!!!!! I love your teaching style

You and Judy are both brilliant and fun.

You have a real talent for teaching. Love all your videos

Thank you for starting this series. I have a round back, sloped shoulders, forward shoulders, big tummy and a high waist. So many adjustments can get overwhelming sometimes. With a master pattern that has all the adjustments in it will make sewing for myself so much easier. Eventually, I am hoping my personal adjustments will become natural for me. Your videos are so encouraging for me and I want to thank you for that.

Lady you are amazing! I am learning so much! Thank you!

Joy: I am getting so much new information from your Perfect Tee Videos that I think I can actually make a pattern that will fit me. I have never seen and heard someone explain the adjustments of the pattern so well. It started to make sense to me. Thank you for all your time it took to make this series. I felt like I had an actual design instructor with me to show me the way out of this black hole called “getting the paper pattern to fit my deformed body”.

Hi Joy, I could watch you teach all day long....and i really loved your sign when you started this video. I think you could have been one of those famous designers cuz you are so creative! So Joy if you were famous would you still talk to us? Haha. I know you would, because you are a real honest and kind person. ❤

Thank you so much Joy for your help in learning how to do fitness sewing system.Have a blessed day.

I was having trouble with the fit on my daughter and all your fixes worked and got the pattern to fit her finally, Thank you Thank You!!!

This is so so helpful Joy. Im about to attempt some maternity tops for my d in law and i want them to fit. Thank you thank you! I so enjoy your sense of humor along with your expertise.

At last I understand how you put in an FBA! Thank you Joy you’ve demystified it for me, I’ve been so totally confused until now. ❤️

Thanks for the great tips. My measurements are very similar to yours it really helps to see how someone similar in shape does their fit changes. I know i learned some alterations i want to try on my base pattern for sure for example the round back and bust adjustment. I believe having your base pattern fit how you want it to before moving on to style changes should make those changes easier. No need to have to figure out fit issues while changing up the designs. I do really enjoy your chats that include parts of your life . Its what makes watching enjoyable for me.

Your personality is like Judy, both fun

Thank you so much for taking the time to show this today.

Congrats to all the winners and thanks to Judy and Joy for sponsoring the event. I am very interested in a SFD dress kit tutorial. I didn’t do too well with the pants kit but I will try it again. I really like the style of blouse you wear quite often that buttons in the front and does not have a collar. Sometimes I just want to wear something that I don’t have to pull over my head. 😊. Plus they seem cooler out of cotton for the hot summer days.

What a great tutorial. I just zipped past the double Joy segment which was just a tiny, tiny bit. This is going in my saves to be able to refer back to. I just can’t imagine the hours you put in to this especially when you don’t do this for an income. I’m happy with just Joy but love these too. Blessings on you.

Terrific video and I like hearing your stories.

Absolutely interesting lesson. Your tutorials are perfect and very understandable. Thank you.

Thank you Joy. This video helped me a lot. I finally get it! I can do it right.

Great teacher!! Thanks for all the work.

Excited to see this! Thank you!

Thank you Joy. You ALWAYS have Such Great Information!

Love you, Joy. And, yes, always try for an A☺

Hi. This is a great video. Learned so much. One comment while I watch this. When you did your first fitting you said you needed to add to the round back adjustment. I wish you had done an insert to see what that had looked like before you made the final adjustment. I think I would’ve found that helpful. Maybe next time. I also learned something new after sewing for 50 years. That’s the shoulder adjustment where you make the L and cut it out. What a great idea to solve a problem. Thank you.

You are so great! Thanks for teaching us.

I picked a different pattern, first thing I did was reach for my screen shots how to download and print from your video. My notes on the adjustments were a little hard to understand from the ABB t shirt. I now own a new notebook just for my fittings, suggestions and tips. Between you, Vivmom, and Tomcat Stitchery, and a few others I feel like I am in school again! I did your back adjustments on my first shirt and fit perfectly! Tomorrow will have hubby draw my shoulders so I can see if I am off! Thank you oodles and bunches!

Joy, I’m still laughing over the “my boob falling out the arm hole!”😂🤣 ohhh! Heaven help me! Joy, you are a hoot! I wanted to do this, but my patterns have been lost in the darn mail. I contacted Judy Kissinger and she very graciously sent me another two. I’m hoping these come soon. Can’t wait!!

Wowser Joy!!! Great lesson!!!!! Thank you sooooo much!!!!!!

I want to be like Joy!! I saw the wiggly line too and fixed it as well!!

Thank you so much for explaining the shoulder width, now I know why all my tops keep falling off my shoulders my measurement is only 14 1/2😕

Joy, I love your enthusiasm, truly and that you are showing us how to measure and fit, just not a piece of material or a pattern that you just bought at Hobby Lobby. I think that you should market your own fitting system. You have sliced and diced this "Fit Nice" "Master Tee" system, until there is nothing left. I believe you originally learned to fit with Palmer and Pletsch? I am very heavy and I think that with P & P, you fit from your measurements not add on to a pattern. So, enjoy your zest for life and that you take such great care of your mom.

Hi Joy, I’ve made two tops with Judy’s pattern so far. Well three but the first one isn’t done. I more or less tried Judy’s directions on fitting them, but that only somewhat worked for me. Much happier with the third top, but I messed up and had to put a gusset in the side seam to get it to fit my bust. My proportions are almost identical to yours, just add 4 more inches everywhere. I’ve come back to this video and taken notes this time because I couldn’t quite remember what size you cut for your pattern before making the FBA. I’m glad to know that I was thinking right that it was probably closer to the high bust measurement. I’m anxious to draft yet another pattern and make the similar adjustments. You are right that this pattern is very addictive. I can’t wait to get a master set so I can start making variations. My two finished tops are the first clothes I’ve managed to complete for myself in over 20 years. After this maybe I can tackle the Surefit Design pattern again. I love your videos. Thank you!

I didn't buy the pattern.. I'm still watching the videos.. I might buy it later..But your tutorials are always amazing!! Thai you for showing the shoulder adjustments!😀

You are amazing!🌸💕

Love it...you are awesome

Wow having two voices was confusing !!! You are a lovely bubbly personality 🥰🥳

GREAT!!!!!! KISSES FROM PORTUGAL

Hi Joy, I don't know what program you are using for video editing. They all have more than one track/story line. What you need to know is- - - you can mute the sound on any track, especially the one you don't want to hear from. Or, and I'm sure you know this, put the clip into the story line, let it play to where you want it to end, and then cut the rest off using Clip, and delete that portion you don't need. If you are having a hard time finding the portion you want to clip off, you can expand the track/story line. There is a plus button somewhere on that track/story line. Usually on the left where the track begins. Expand it, +++, and find that section you want to take out. Where you want it to end click on cut, then right click on that unwanted section and hit delete. Make a mistake? Click undo and try again. To me, everything is an "undue". XOX

Awesome 👌 thanks 😊

I love Peggy Sagers too!

Joy, THANKS SO MUCH!! I have been wondering what and how to do full bust adjustments. Also, I have heard you talk about sway back and higher shoulder on one side and never knew how to measure or adjust the pattern. Everything is so much clearer now. I need visual to understand easier. I am amazed at how precise you can adjust these patterns! I also want to know about your beautiful fabric on your top! I love it! A recent purchase or a stash? I can’t find anything that is pretty. Frustrating 😠😠

In my opinion, bust darts and other darts are a gals best friend.

No acrossed...love you still!

Love the print swing like top you have on when making your adjustments to the front! Great teachings! What size rotary cutter are you using?

Great tutorial. When you make the shoulder adjustment, I am assuming you made it to the front, do you then add the 1/4 inch to the other side as well even though it is the normal side?

Oh joy I was watching you so excited your furniture was coming you were happy hipper over joyed I Hopi find youluvteresa🌈stitcher x x x x

Hi again Joy. I am really loving this lesson because I am equating it to the tee shirt block I want to make for my husband who still has those broad shoulders and a itty-bitty waist way down there. Yup, double take on a man in his 70s! I am hoping you can help me figure this out. What I hate is when a man rests his elbows on a table, (especially in a suit jacket) and the back of the jacket or shirt under the collar buckles up. Some of his shirts buckle up 1/2". Some 3/4"s. Is it that there is too much length between the high point shoulder and the waist, or not enough length? Or maybe, is it that the back neckhole isn't cut deep enough? If it helps... I tracked the buckling in the back yoke to the armhole, and it usually ends up 1.5" below the low end of the shoulder tip. Could you please help me name the problem? If I know what the problem is called, I can look for a correction. Thanks!

Yeah Joy l found your video with drawing your head and shoulders sketch. Would you use your sketch of shoulders, with your sure fit designs pattern? I am learning so much from your videos and l am not feeling so overwhelmed as l was. So thank you heaps

What type of fabric is the dress you are wearing? It hangs so nicely and looks very comfortable,

Hi Mrs. Joy. My name is Terry and I was wondering where did you find your table mat? Or did you have it made for you?

I have a small hump at the base of my neck, spreading across my upper shoulders. For years I've been frustrated with my tops creating back and having to pull my top forward. Now I see, by watching you, why that was happening. Now how do I measure for the alteration being by my self. Can you help?

Do you have any tips about sewing darts in light weight stretchy knits? I will have to do a huge FBA and I’m wondering how that dart will look

Bust darts give a much better fit in my opinion. Where do you find your clothing fabric? I don’t know of any good suppliers.

Hello Joy, your latest newbie here! Can you tell me how I know if I need an FBA, please? I guess it's from the way clothes fit but don't know what I am looking for. Great video, looking forward to bingeing to catch up - sorry if you cover my question elsewhere...

Interesting no back neck gap in FitNice.

If I do a FBA in a pattern for knit dress, does that first line (parallel to center front) go all the way to the hem line?

Maybe re edit this video. Some over talking. Great information! Thanks for your hard work!

Re: proof reading. My daughter develops banking software with a team of assorted people. It drives her crazy when there are misspellings on the slides that they use for presentation to their customers. How will they believe that the program is correct in every detail if the spelling is wrong!

Wondering if you belong to Judy Kessinger's Fit Nice Club and if you don't mind, how involved are you with the Fit Nice System. IMHO, the patterns are waaaaay overpriced, and it seems there is a charge for any additional information beyond the patterns and books, albeit small. Feel like I'm being nickled and dimed to death.:-( OK, having made my opinion public, I would like to add that Judy does have a certain charm and talent.

Beyond AWESOME tutorial/video. Please, please don't put pins in your MOUTH! I teach sewing and never a good idea to have pins in your mouth. Appreciate your videos.

Why do we have to slap the ruler down?

Hey Joy, I wanted to let you know that somehow you taped over this part 1 video at 8:42. This video was going along nicely and then you came on and started talking about the series while continuing to talk about fitting the master pattern at the same time. Oops !

Why do we slap th Euler down?

The whole point of the master pattern is to have a base to work from. This is not a fitted pattern, it's a T Shirt. You use the completed fitted pattern as a base for future garments. You Joy, have not followed the instructions. You may want to do another one following her instructions and then change your patterns for each different style of shirt or jacket you prefer. No disrespect intended. Just relaying the intended use. It's not supposed to be a form fitting shirt as your base pattern. Looking forward to seeing what you have made.
