So what would be your preferred seam allowance for the neck band? Do you show the neck band together? I don't do a lot of garment sewing!

Thank you for the great video. Do you remove your basting stitches. If not, what is your stitch settings?
@LoveNotionsКүн бұрын
You can sew over them and leave them or pull them out. They'll probably break at some point and then be easier to remove. ~J

Is there a reason you didn’t use the same fabric for the neck binding?
@LoveNotionsКүн бұрын
Demonstration purposes. Usually using the same fabric is fine, though! ☺️ ~J
@LoveNotionsКүн бұрын
Also, some people like using premade fold over binding vs making their own. Use whatever you have on hand! ☺️ ~J
@marysews1Күн бұрын
For any pattern using bands of the same fabric, I cut the bands first all the way across one end of the fabric using the band's width. I total how much length I need for the bands so if I need more than one width of total length, I cut two of these strips. The very last thing I need is not enough fabric for the bands after I've cut everything else out.

For the notches, I like to cut them IN on the pattern. That way I find them easier to mark with a marker.

How do you “sew to the stripe” when right sides are together and you cant see the stripe?
@LoveNotionsКүн бұрын
You pin it that way so that when you go back to finish sewing the neckband, it's lined up. Does that make sense? ~J

I enjoyed this tutorial immensely, but before I assume anything, do you do both sides from the front? Or do you cut off the same amount from the opposite side? Or is the one cut enough for the entire band? thanks

@wrappedinthread7334 күн бұрын
I’m glad you liked it! To do it flat I usually fold my shirt in half matching center front, shoulder seams and the center back. That way you get an entire front to back section to check your band on. Then just hold the band at the center front folded side up and stretch it around just the same as I’m doing it in the video 😊

Excellent going to try new method. I always use a cotton spandex to make my T-shirts so I will try this method. What typically is the width of the neck band that you sew? I know this varies is from Pattern to Pattern but I think we all have our favorites. I believe mine are too wide probably 3/4 of an inch finished and when you serge do you serge over your basting?.
@LoveNotions5 күн бұрын
Good questions! I will defer to Noreen's answer (but personally, I like ⅝-1" neckbands, depending on the pattern.) And when I serge, I go over everything. If you make it a different color from your serger thread, you should be able to find it easily to pull out. ~J
