Glenda you are the only one who shows us step by step the best way to sew difficult pieces as a collar. Thank you. You are absolutely understandable

[@surefitdesigns]

Vasiliki Pappa - thanks for your comments and feedback - much appreciated.

[@gracie7040]

This is very comprehensive and detailed tutorial. Production of this video is equally professional. I appreciated that you used contrasting fabrics and threads to demonstrate this technique. I now feel confident and excited to complete the two notched collared shirts I have been making as Christmas gifts for my husband. Thank you!

[@surefitdesigns]

Gracie - thanks so much for your excellent and descriptive feedback. We do our best to be clear and concise. Thanks for participating.

[@charitoilagan7940]

thank you so much for such a great video sewing tutorials you just shared with us! it did a lot of help to my sewing career as a seamstress!

[@christinej1519]

I have been hoping and waiting for you to do a video on collars. Thank you!

[@romeoperez3644]

Wow thank you so much for this clear demonstration on how to put collar...i absolutely like it

[@raeboyd5596]

You my dear are a life saver. I am sewing a shirt for my son and i havent made a garment since 4H 40 yrs ago. He is 30 and i know he is going to be so astonished that i sewed a shirt for him that i know he will be buying material for me. I opted for an 8 dollar pattern instead of a 20 dollar pattern and its ridiculously hard to understand. I have the shirt ready except for the collar, and it had had me stumped because there is no collar band! Ive already sewn the lapel so ill rip the stiches and open the neck edge of of it and do it this way. You have helped me figure out what to do soooo much. I have the sleeves on and was down to collar and button holes and its been hanging and ive read and reread the instructions to no revelation. You have completely clarified what to do and i am sooo thankful. Seriously you have been an angel for me. I am making another and i will not sew on sleeves or close side seams and do it this way! Again, thankyou!

[@surefitdesigns]

Rae Boyd - You are most welcome and thanks so much for your feedback and comments. I'm glad this information was of benefit for you.

[@k-hazy9937]

Thank you so much Glenda! Your video is well done, clear and concise. My mother daughter Christmas pajamas will have beautiful collars - this time lol.

[@wcarlosw]

Glenda, I loved that last statement about how all of these lessons will all combine to create a finished fashion piece. Thank you for these informative videos. After watching your videos, I have decided to return to sewing after stopping 3 years ago after graduating college. I wish I knew that back neck finish technique 3 years ago.

Thank you for the tutorial, so clear to understand..

[@judithsmith7940]

I believe this is the most comprehensive tutorial I seen. You have seem to have ALL the elements organized and easily understood! It is difficult for the very experienced sewer, like you, to remember to include basic terms. Once it has become intuitive for you, it's hard to remember that basic sewing techniques are all new/foreign to the beginner. KODOS to you and many thanks for sharing your expertise!

[@chanaka461]

[@adellevels7159]

i love all your videos! thank you so much..

[@shaddowvamp]

Thank you so much for this! I have spent a whole day struggling/stressing out trying to understand a pattern I have, and watching so many different tutorials and finding them incredibly hard to follow. I have finally found this tutorial the day after and it is so clear to follow. Using different coloured fabrics and thread really helped to explain each step, I have dyslexia so learning new things and following instructions can sometimes be a real challenge but this tutorial was very friendly towards learning difficulties. Thank you again.

[@chantellhollaway4853]

Thank you!! I'm in the process of making a pj long sleeve top from simplicity. I have had a lot of trouble finding a good tutorial that explains it well. You do it a little differently but it looks like the instructions are asking for the same thing. I'm going to baste the top collar to the neck edge tomorrow then sew it then do the front facing the exact same as you have shown. I'll also have this step by step video alongside me. Extremely grateful, thank you!

[@appalawhite]
