Tips & Feedback For Sewers
Feedback From Dr. Nick Manice, New York Presbyterian Hospital
There are many different versions of N95 masks and Dr. M demonstrates them
1. Thick elastic is very uncomfortable and can create sores behind the ears. Thin elastic (1/8" and thinner is better)
​
2. Dr. M. suggests ribbons or ties so the mask can be fastened at the back of the head
wider tucks/pleats are better
​
Suggestion - leave 1” AT TOP & BOTTOM, then 1/2” pleats/TUCKS
Stick with the 8" x 11" FABRIC size
