Check the joined stretch panels for balanced movement, seam stability and distortion on the finished long-sleeve sample. Record the stretch direction of each material and assess the garment during reaching and elbow flexion. Review whether the seam restricts the more extensible panel or creates puckering. Confirm panel orientation and sewing details together before bulk cutting.
