How to Sew a V-Neck T-Shirt (Jalie Pattern 2918)

[@EileenLaBelleTube]

Well done video. The subtitles, with hints such as "sleeve side down" are very helpful. Thank you for showing us primitive people without a serger how to get good results.

[@CanacaGuanaca]

Oh my goodness, your sewing tutorials are flawless. Such a pleasant surprise from all these unintelligible ones on youtube!

[@jaliepatterns]

We have a Baby Lock Imagine. It is the best serger we ever had. Easy to thread, tension is always right. It is a bit more expensive than the average serger, but worth every penny.

[@psm484]

I had forgotten how quick and easy it is to sew a t-shirt. Thanks for this great video!

[@MomShots]

Loved the music!!! I especially loved the humor of the beating heart while matching up the V-neck! LOL! Great video with very clear instructions. I'm excited to take on a knit v-neck now. Thanks!

[@carlawaluck46]

Omg I have trying unsuccessfully to sew a neckline for my 5 year olds T shirt!!! thank you sooo much! now I know exactly what to do!

[@billlaut608]

I, too, enjoyed your video -- especially the nervous heartbeat as the "V" was being lined up. I'm in my late 50s and now taking up sewing. I bought a used beginner's sewing machine (Janome 7306) and a new serger (Brother 1034D), and several of your patterns (men's trunks, V-neck t-shirt, and the Polo Shirt) as a "starting point" on my adventure. I really appreciate you putting together clear, concise videos such as this one, so people like myself with no prior experience can repeatedly watch them until we have the confidence to attempt them. Thanks again!

this video was SO helpful for me!!! I was making my daughter age 6 a pj shirt that had a v neck and the instructions with the pattern were horrible. I am a fairly novice sewer and it was supposed to be easy. I was about to give up until I found this video ... and thanks to you the shirt turned out GREAT!! Thank you for sharing this!! :)

[@atrinka1]

I love Zig on the fabric, Zag on the air! Very educative!

[@wabbimail]

This is a great video!! Thank you soo much. There's also enough lighting to see each step. Thank you.

[@hannahzechariah5062]

These videos are great. They make it look so achievable and encouraging. (also the music is very relaxing, which is good when I'm stressing out because I cut my sleeve 'inside out')

[@wildheart5]

Terrific tutorial! Very good instruction, quick, easy and effective ways to make a t-shirt. I appreciate it!

[@isiakaogunyemi8312]

lovely tutorial mainly on making the v neck, I will try it on my over-lock, many thanks

[@julsbendandi9374]

Thank you! A love the music! ❤

[@janababy79]

Incredibly helpful. Thank you for this tutorial!

[@JenInOz]

what were the first two pieces of music used here/ they're quite nice...

[@nicolaroberts5236]

Oh thanks a lot, I just got it right, your way is so easy. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

[@tremawe12]

einfach gut zu sehen und schöne Musik, danke

[@Cesyesco]

Wow! You make it look so easy! Thx

[@EssexTed]

I liked the music :)

[@jaliepatterns]

We use the serger or straight stitch + zigzag stitch on the regular sewing machine - without stretching the fabric.

[@SaunWhee]

great informative video! Pleasant music too!

[@ingridfox9775]

You made this 2 whole years ago, but I just found it now.. Your neckline lays so beautifully. I have ripped out necklines over, and over and over till I thought the fabric would become rag. So frustrating for me with those stretch knits. I watched you like a hawk! I too use a serger to finish it looks good that way. Do you think any self fabric in the shoulders is helpful too, or is just plain old reinforcement best as you did? Thanks for the helpful video!

[@verycraftymama]

this is great!! What sewing machine are you using here?

[@MsToriaa]

look's cool but i'm a very beginner sewer and could not follow along because i am such a novice.. maybe in a few months! very wonderful tutorial.. also since i don't have a clue about sewing and i've only made a pillow and an attempted quilt, what is the purpose for different stitches?

[@ExotiqBeautii]

what material is used for the band of the neck? i cant find it anywhere. Or maybe im just overlooking it

[@natfx7]

So far I have stitched only 1 shirt and the hardest things are the collar and the area under arm pits. I purchased a t-shirt and when I try to alter its size the stitching won't come smooth and the t-shirt cloth won't align or looks out of shape. I tried adjusting thread tension, bobbin screw but can able to figure out what's wrong. I have Singer 8280 machine. Is it made for t-shirts ?

[@SJUV1]

Perfect! and without overlock!!!!

[@samuelvamaivolgs5196]

That's a very nice shirt.

[@ShannonSews]

You make it look so easy! I've had trouble with knit getting sucked down into my sewing machine. Any way to avoid that? What tension and pressure are you using?

[@theresasousa5781]

Noon the v neck part. How do I change it to a round neck? Thanks

[@majawow]

Excellent tutorial. What type of serger are you using? I consider buying one, because I love to sew jersey but with my sewing machine seams are often kind of bulky:(

[@brianna7873]

what stitch did you use for the shoulder seams?

[@vickicarol1733]

that looks so easy. think I will try a sample this afternoon. What do you do on a regular machine for the V neck????

[@Sewnknit]

Great video - thanks! Love the music, too ;-)

[@timomurillo5297]

Please explain.."Zig on the fabric Zap in the air" part. Thank you.

[@eika4490]

très bien expliqué : merci !

[@tiffanycobb1886]

keep up the good work

[@happylife4727]

Excelente video

[@withlovestephaniedenise7024]

did you sew the right side of the band to the wrong side of the shirt? if yes, did you sew it on the wrong side or right side if the shirt? thanks

[@jaliepatterns]

The band is folded so both sides are "right sides". We sew it to the right side of the neckline.

[@hunteratha7677]

Hi Jalie, what sewing machine are you using in this video? It looks like the Brother 294 series but i couldnt tell.

[@jaliepatterns]

Hunter Atha Both machines are Baby Lock

[@shmuelarom5773]

Can I sew the neckband using a serger ? in the video, it is sewn with a sewing machine only.

[@jaliepatterns]

You can attach it to the neckline with a serger of course. We always prefer basting with a zigzag first since it is easier to pick if we make a mistake.

[@jackieking7908]

Nice love it

[@samievparviz2349]

amazing, thank you so much :)

[@jacquelinerobinson9158]

Does your company sell plus size female patterns? Where can they be purchased?

[@jaliepatterns]

Many of our patterns go up to 50'' bust. You can find them on our website: jalie.com/sewing-patterns/plus_sizes

[@MIFILLE]

hi ... thanks so much for the awesome video !!! can you please tell me what is the name of the last machine you use for the hem in the end of the video ... thanks soo much :)

[@emy1afly]

+Made by Jeniffer It's a cover stitch machine (I think this one was a Baby Lock Evolution)

[@EssexTed]

Really helpful thank u

[@dijones2441]

Can you explain the zig on the fabric zag in the air please...and why does it matter . I've never known this technique....always learning. Wonderful video and loved the heart beat ..that's me 😂

[@jaliepatterns]

It looks better (wraps the edge like a serger would) and it somehow forces you to really align the edges :)

[@dijones2441]

Jalie Sewing Patterns thank you 😃

[@pram710]

thank you....your smart !

[@candicewilliams3809]

Wow your hemming looks better than the adds

[@invermeregirl]

Tee Hee Hee..... the music makes me want to sew :-)))))

[@Fucoc]

No, keep the music. It was a delight to just have cheerful music, and not listening to some nervous, mumbling sewing lady for once :D

[@LogicStandsBeforeGod]

A great video, thanks a lot for sharing it and it would have been even better without such a music in the video.

[@siamese35]

I wish you would do a video of a “real” v neck and not an overlapped one.

[@vickicarol1733]

oops just caught the next section. thanks

[@awkwardartist7628]

Could do with music and heart beat.

[@margauxwagner1380]

that heart beat noise is seriously annoying
