When to make another fit sample

You have a few edits left to make after seeing the latest fit sample. Should you make another fit sample or update the pattern and go straight to a factory pre-production sample?

Make another fit sample when the needed changes will make a difference to the fit or construction. You want to confirm these changes with a new fit sample before moving into production.

If it is a simple change like lengthening a hem 1″, you can probably move to a factory sample with the updated pattern and make a note about the hem change on your sew-by sample. (This sample would be marked as “approved with changes”.)
