I finished the neckline on this top up for Braden last night and thought I'd take pics of the process for a tute. This is a very step-by-step tutorial for a newbie to knits. :)

That's a very nice explanation with all the little details that a new sewer needs. That will be so helpful for referring people to, as it seems to be a question that often gets asked on MG.

That's why I did it. There are a lot of questions in MG, so I thought it would be easy to have this to refer them to. :)

You did a good job explaining that. :) It's a question that comes up a lot, too.

I think it's interesting you put the neckband down against the feed dogs when attaching it. I always do the opposite. Of course maybe your serger has a free arm?

I think the reason I do it this way is because I want my tag facing up to be sure it doesn't go crooked or get crumpled. I've done it both ways, but I prefer it like this!

That would explain it! I never remember the tag until after the shirt's complete, then I kick myself for forgetting. :P

that tutorial is amazing!! SO clear.

a possible dumb question, how do i measure the neckline? it's curved and i worry that it won't be exact. i don't have a project that i can try this on now, but wanted to ask this while the thread is new and fresh.

i am hoping it's as easy as putting the tape measure around...but i imagine a nightmare, not sure why.

thanks in advance:wave:
