“A pie-shaped godet (the most common one), is usually cut⟳ with straight grain down the center of the piece of fabric, leaving bias edges on the sides.”

“Designs with godets, gussets, square or pointed yokes and shawl collars have⟳ seams with reverse corners, that is, an inward corner on one edge and an outward corner on the adjoining edge.”

“You can sew a godet into a slit cut⟳ perpendicular to a hem edge, but it's more common—and much easier—to insert⟳ it into a vertical panel seam, as shown here. Because godets are shaped pieces, often with a pronounced curve at the hem edge, they can be tricky to hem.”

After the yarn guiding block⟳ a heated godet with idler roll acts as a spinning godet and thus defines spinning […] .”

“In contrast to conventional spinning, wind-up in high speed⟳ spinning is often carried out without godets, as shown earlier in Fig. 4.2(a). The absence of godets reduces capital costs and makes thread string-up simpler.”

“Drawing is accomplished between godets 3 and 4 by the different speeds of the two godet groups.”
