Yay!!!

Right on time 🤗

I put off watching this video, because life. So glad I watched! I've had trouble with ITY neckbands, so these hints are appreciated!

Thank you for the great video. Do you remove your basting stitches. If not, what is your stitch settings?

Is there a reason you didn’t use the same fabric for the neck binding?

For any pattern using bands of the same fabric, I cut the bands first all the way across one end of the fabric using the band's width. I total how much length I need for the bands so if I need more than one width of total length, I cut two of these strips. The very last thing I need is not enough fabric for the bands after I've cut everything else out.

For the notches, I like to cut them IN on the pattern. That way I find them easier to mark with a marker.

How and where do I sign up for newsletter so I can get "Try LDT" pettern? You look so nice in it ❤

this is great but I would like to see the elastic serged in real time. I am a little hesitant to do that. Does anyone know of a place to see the elastic serged?

How do you “sew to the stripe” when right sides are together and you cant see the stripe?

Thank you for the tip about top stitching the neck band.

Very helpful! What tracing paper do you use?

I did a perfect neckband today. Thank you!

Yt frustrates me. It never shows me these til Saturday 😮 Love it!

How wide is the neckband 😊

So. When you zigzag it. Is it then raw edge to raw edge ?

So helpful!

The perfect accessories for any outfit! They are beautiful.

❤❤❤🙏😊

This is brilliant, I will try this method out. Thank you for being so clear in your video. I love the idea of the folded edge to the raw edge to test the fit before sewing.

What a neat idea. Thanks for sharing this!

Thank you for these new shops to me. Definitely will look into these new outlets for fabric. Thank again.

It is 7/26 and the pattern is the Serenity Pattern a great fall/winter staple.

I enjoyed this tutorial immensely, but before I assume anything, do you do both sides from the front? Or do you cut off the same amount from the opposite side? Or is the one cut enough for the entire band? thanks

Loved the video! Is there any way you could shoot a quick tutorial on how you do this flat?

Thank you, an excellent video. I can’t wait to try that pattern.

Im so confused about sewing into the seem allowance. I feel dumb lol

Great i love that it has a v neck option too. Id need to buy a pretty undershirt like yours.

That is so cute!

Just watched your video on this subject and it was very easy to follow! Thank you😊

The information you have given us is invaluable plus showing step by step the process you went through. I’m definitely encouraged to try your method in a top. Good luck to me! Thanks!

Wonderful tutorial. Noreen's demeanor is so warm and generous. - Kelly

Do u ever interface the neckline? If so, how and why?

Absolutely!❤

Excellent going to try new method. I always use a cotton spandex to make my T-shirts so I will try this method. What typically is the width of the neck band that you sew? I know this varies is from Pattern to Pattern but I think we all have our favorites. I believe mine are too wide probably 3/4 of an inch finished and when you serge do you serge over your basting?.

I struggle so much with neckbands, so thank you for these great tips! I’ve been marking eighth-points to more evenly stretch but that’s kind of a pain, so I like the way you clip it between the quarters when it’s on your machine.

Thank you so much!! Used your technique today, including the basting. Worked perfectly!!

Great tips! Thanks!

these are brilliant tips, thank you. and i agree Noreen is a delightful presenter - clear, succinct explanations with a sweet manner and smile! 😃🥰

What does this mean?

I think the best time to mark that CENTER FRONT line in the "V" is when you're done cutting out the FRONT pattern piece. That way, there is no need to wonder whether the pin you weave in at the point of the "V" is exactly on the center front. Mark both right and wrong sides of the fabric. Thank you for pointing out directional sewing (thread marking the "V" at 3/8"). This comes in so handy for precise sewing. Thank you so much for this tutorial. I have yet to master the "V" neckband and I think this will REALLY help me achieve a beautiful "V" neckline.

I always sew with the band on top. That way, you can see the area of the neck you need to stretch across to get the band to fit. Also, it allows you to have a flat neckline to work over. Once you've sewn enough neckbands with a variety of knit fabrics, you figure out the need for treating each type separately as far as the length of the neckband goes. It took me several years to figure this out. Having videos like this sure helps speed up the learning process when it comes to sewing with knits. If you use actual ribbing instead of self fabric, that is another type of knit to figure out. I sewed a neckband into a nightie yesterday where I used the pattern piece instead of cutting a strip from selvage to selvage. It turned out a bit "gathered", but it's a nightie so I let it go. As I worked with the neckline, basting it in, pressing with steam to whip it back into shape, serging the edge of the neckband and topstitching it, the ribbing relaxed a bit so it will work fine. I don't use a walking foot when sewing in the neckband. It's not necessary. I've never had the initial seamline "break" a thread as I sew it in with a 3.0 mm stitch length. This includes the topstitching. I've sewn on all kinds of knits such as cotton interlock, jersey, rayon/stretch (lycra or spandex), ITY, Ponte and 95% cotton/5% stretch (lycra or spandex). Never a problem in the neckband with multiple wash and wear. Thank you for taking the time to share your discovery in handling different knit neckbands as well as all of your tips and tricks. So many will benefit from this video.

Another awesome Noreen video. Please keep them coming.

I learned so much with this tutorial!! It is fabulous! Thank you Noreen!!

Hi Noreen! Wow, your video is so helpful. Thank you for mentioning that you normally fit the neckband to the shirt on a flat surface as I don't have a dress form, yet. You're a fantastic teacher! I look forward to more of your Technique Tuesday videos and I'll have to see if you have your own YT channel. Thank you so much!!!
