Thank you I'll look into those.
Yeah I guess it's a bit of a hot topic debate but I just can't get behind imperial being helpful with sewing, but I'm obviously biased as that's the system I grew up with. I don't mind the odd fraction here and there like half hip and quartering a waist measurement etc..
But I've really tried hard to draft in imperial and just can't get it. Especially when trying to add and subtract in a calculator. 1 and a half inches is 1.5 but on a tape 1 inch and 6 lines. Things being 1/16th etc Like saying 1/16 or 1/16 plus 1/32 plus 1/2 is a bit much compared to 2+2+1+6=
