Long sleeves drag through the thread cutter. Short sleeves leave your arms cold at 6am with the window cracked. A three-quarter raglan sleeve ends at the forearm, which is the only place a sewing-room sleeve should end. Nothing to push up. Nothing to catch under the presser foot.
That is the whole argument for the Raglan Tees, and the designs make it easy. Rise, Shine, Quilt is the early-start shirt. Friends, Quilts and Coffee is the Saturday one. Brew for Bolts and Fabric and Coffee admit what actually powers the room. Afraid, Seam? Laughed the Ripper is for the day it went sideways and you laughed anyway.
Then there are the helpers. Basset Hound Helper and Golden Retriever Helper are for anyone whose quilt has been quality-checked by a dog lying directly on it. Cats, Quilts and Cabernet covers the other supervisor. And for the quilter who has explained the stash one too many times, there is How to Hide Your Stash, which offers no useful advice at all.
The raglan cut also gives you the contrast sleeve, so the color you love is on your arms all day, right where you see it while you piece.
