Super helpful Rachael, gives a really lovely finish. Just a tip - I always offset the joining seam in the neck band to one side, near to the shoulder seam, it is much less noticeable then - if that is something that bothers anyone but me! 🤣 xxx

Hi jennett! I’m using just regular gutermann thread, same as I always use, I think I still had my jersey needle in for the woven binding, which worked fine. A universal needle would be good too’ Glad you enjoyed it and hope you have success!

Thank you for sharing this tutorial. I copied my ready to wear vest (waist coat) last winter and tried to finish off the neck as they did. I liked how nicely it turned out. I think I sewed it pretty much the way you did. I love how nicely your garments are finished. So, my kids returned last night from their trip to Europe. They visited family in Northern Ireland while they were there. They said the charity shops and vintage shops are awesome, much better than the ones here and came home with tons of clothes. At least the girls did, my son's suitcase seemed to be full of food. Chocolate from Switzerland and snacks from Ireland. Too funny. Unfortunately they did not visit any fabric stores. I may have to save up and visit them myself. Have a great week and thanks for sharing.

Hi Jane! Thanks for that, I’ve put it in the description. I use regular thread. I don’t use maraflex too often. If you want to use maraflex for the front neckline that would be good, but normal for the binding is fine as it doenst really need to stretch

Hi there! Glad you find it useful. Good question, no it’s not on the bias. It’s on the straight grain, it doesnt really have to stretch that much so it’s not needed. You can of course if you like but I don’t find it necessary

@TheFrenchSeams_vlog
11 күн бұрын
Hi there. In terms of functionally there isn’t a massive difference I don’t think, they both stabilise the back neckline and make it look nice and take the wear and tear. To put in the woven is slightly easier as it’s more stable and holds a press, and you can get woven in such pretty prints! It’s totally personal preference though

Hi there! For the front I use a straight stitch but slightly lengthened, so say about 3 or 3.2 length. I don’t use maraflex. Just regular thread. For the back it’s just regular thread too. No need for it to stretch. Hope that makes sense! Thanks for watching

Hi Jackie! The neckline still needs to stretch over your head so that why the binding is only on the back edge. If you are binding the neckline of a very wide neck garment you could bind the whole thing. But you’d have to make sure it fits over your head as there would be little to no stretch. Thanks for watching

Hope the below helps Joanne. It still needs to fit over your head which is why usually only the back neckline is bound
