Re: Measuring around the bolt? And a PS.

I saw something about measuring around the bolt in another thread. I know
about it, but never tried.

My question:

Two turns is one meter, or one yard?

Is two turns around the bolt near the centre shorter than two turns near the
outside on a full bolt? It seems obvious, but I need some confirmation LOL
because otherwise I will go nuts.

Doing this is only an estimate I understand. And we are talking about
rectangular carboard bolts right?

Thanks!

PS - Another thing - A Big Thank You!
two years ago someone/somepeople said that I should try vogue patterns
because simplicity was always too big on me. I didn't try them then, but
should have. I am officially IN LOVE with vogue patterns, even if they cost
more, I am 100% satisfied (but will look for sales lol). Thanks to those of
you who recommended vogue! I just made a cardi-wrap jacket from vogue and
it was really easy and I wear it all the time. I can't say the same about
my simplicity stuff, I spend hours fitting the patterns. with vogue I don't
spend hours. I am about to make this:

Trousers first, Jacket later. I am susceptible to the envelope pics, I
bought grey fabric. I want to resist purple for the jacket......... can I
resist???? And the trousers will not be 10" too long according to the
measurements I took of the pattern! That is a bonus.
Thanks Again!!!
