I thought it would be helpful to have one video of all the neckline tutorials handy in one spot (click save and add it to your sewing tips playlist) :) Hope this video helps you and your sewing therapy!

[@savitasingh6944]

Hi Sara, I have finished my Georgia dress pattern but my neck binding is not sitting property, any idea why its happening? Please help I don't want to ruin my beautiful dress.

[@Dreyah88]

Thank you Sara, for this tutorial on necklines…especially the details about sewing a KNIT neckline. Sewing necklines is something I am learning and looking forward to sewing more of because I enjoy the feel of the soft fabrics. Also, I really like your skirt pattern and plan to purchase during the summer to keep my legs cool from the sunny weather.

[@AF-yq6ew]

oooh this is so beautifully done! thanks for this!!! ❤ when I topstich/understitch my jersey neckline it still gets a little wavy - do you have any tips for fixing this?

[@SewingTherapy]

Try different lengths of stitches! ☺️

[@amdelorey]

Is it possible there needs to be a correction on the knit band. Iron seams open and fold "wrong" side together? Thanks v much Sarah. Great summary video.

[@SewingTherapy]

Oh no! haha I won't be able to make a correction! Thanks so much for pointing it out though!

[@amdelorey]

@@SewingTherapy can you tell me more about your sewing machine or do you have a video on it?

[@amdelorey]

@@SewingTherapy can you tell me more about your sewing machine? Or do you have a video on that? I have many years of sewing experience and am ready to leave my basic Janome machine. Which I do love BTW but it does not do one-step buttonholes!

[@SewingTherapy]

@@amdelorey Mine is Bernette B38 and I’ve been loving sewing with it!

[@barefacedquestions]

Thank you for such a comprehensive tutorial on sewing neckline. I can see why you prefer facing, as it looks so sophisticated on woven garments. When you stitched the facing to the bodice, what seam allowance did you use? My pattern calls for 0.5cm and didn't tell to snip along the neckline, only the corners.I guess SA has to be at least 1cm in order to snip along the neckline as you showed.

[@SewingTherapy]

Exactly! My seam allowance is usually 1cm, and I prefer to clip all the rounded corners when sewing a facing to prevent any wiggles.

[@barefacedquestions]

@@SewingTherapy Always appreciate your responses even though you already have so many user comments.

[@veroniquecrichton9802]

Thanks for the tips! What is that little tool that you use to flatten the bias in the first demonstration- it has a very pointy tip.

[@SewingTherapy]

It's a tailors' awl!

[@jademb7290]

👍

[@ghofheinz4002]

I like the black blouse you are dresser nice

[@SewingTherapy]

Thank you! That is my new M8312!

[@izellove783]

I have a question. When you topstich on the knit stretchy fabric, did you use a straight stich and of so wont it snap as a straight sritch doesnt stretch?

[@SewingTherapy]

Straight stitch with longer stitch length would work perfectly!

[@izellove783]

@@SewingTherapy oh okay thank you so much!

[@maryenos91]

Fantastic video, but how close to you sew in inches to the neck facing to understitch. You are so smart. Thank you.

[@SewingTherapy]

Thank YOU! ☺️🙌🙌

[@eifaara2406]

I like ua videos please show us the fabric cutting tutorials please

[@GraceSingh]

Clever girl

[@maryenos91]

I would like to ask again ..Do you sew the facing 1/4", 1/2" or 5/8" to the tops?

[@SewingTherapy]

The seam allowance can vary. It may depend on the width of the bias tape you're using, or it may be specified in the pattern instructions.

[@maryenos91]

Thank you. I appreciate your response. You certainly do some pretty sewing.@@SewingTherapy

[@WanderlustYk]

Sara, this is a great video. Thank you! I'm sewing a linen top. I've tried 5 times to sew the neckline. It keeps sticking away from my body. It's stand up rather than lay flat. What could be the problem? What could I be doing wrong?

[@SewingTherapy]

Did you cut the bias tape on a bias?

[@WanderlustYk]

Yes, it was on a bias. I'm not sure what went wrong. I took it apart and sewed my neckline many, many times and eventually managed to sew something decent. Thank you so much for all your videos. You are great!@@SewingTherapy

[@jadeite1969]

This happens to me too@@WanderlustYk . I think the problem should be in the amount of pulling we do when sewing the bias tape, because when I follow patterns that have bias tape into the pattern (as in specific length), it tends to stay closer to the body better.

[@pinkpolites]

I've encountered the same issue. May I ask how you managed to prevent it from sticking up? Could you share the techniques you used? Thank you.🙂

[@WanderlustYk]

@@pinkpolites I'm not sure what fixed it. I took it apart many, many, many times and eventually it worked. Did you cut it on a bias? Are you pulling too much on it?

[@cinamalicay3212]

I subscribe but i have suggestion .You video is so small that i could hardly see because it was cover with your fingers during the process of the sewing

[@SewingTherapy]

Thanks for your suggestion! I’ll keep it in mind!
