This means that you may get to steps 4 & 5 , and find that your rib is too long (or rather, has too much stretch) in which case, just shorten it to your taste...sorry, taste...sorry, no magic formulas here, it's entirely up to you! Oh yes...when we refer to 'rib', we mean EITHER the self fabric you are using to finish the neck & cuffs, OR a separate rib fabric...same result.
