Dear Beverly,
I realized after I hit the send button I hadn't said front or back.
It's towards the front, so you didn't need that advice, you'd already
discovered it.

Yes, I just wanted to be sure, thanks!

FWIW, I prefer 0.5-0.75", unless the person has remarkable muscle mass
in the shoulders. The sleeve slides in and hangs well.

I have about 1" ease built into the cap right now, I may
take a little more out at the back (or the front) sleeve
seam of the two-piece sleeve, I can take it out and taper to
the elbow without a major re-do.
Thanks,
Beverly

I usually cut a long thin wedge out of the sleeve cap and lower it,
truing up the seam line. I have quite heavy arms (all that book and
sewing machine carrying, and swimming!) and this takes the excess ease
out without compromising the sleeve circumference at the point I need it
most.
