How long should a ribbing be for a neckline?

Add 1" to your measurements (unless you want a looser fit - I like my ribbing to fit snugly). I follow pattern directions for neck ribbing length. Let's say your wrist circumference is 6". You will need a ribbing that is 7" long by 6". The 7" length is along the greatest stretch because it must stretch around the wrist. The 6" is determined by the width of the ribbing (more narrow for neckline and wider for wrist cuff).

Where to place cuffs on a sleeve?

Now, place the cuff over the outside of the sleeve, matching seams, raw edges and pins. The cuff raw edges will lie on top of the sleeve raw edges, with the folded edge of the cuff lieing toward the top of the sleeve (like a cuff that has been rolled up). Sew the cuff to the sleeve, gently guiding the ribbing and being very careful not to run over pins (especially with a serger!). Also, be careful to only sew through one layer of cuff/sleeve. You don't want to sew your sleeve shut!

How to stretch ribbing?

You need the stretch to go around your wrist.

In my example, the 6" edges will be stitched together.
