This was phenomenal! I can't believe I've just made a successful jersey neckline... um.i have been putting this off for months and finally finished it today. Wow - my mind is blown! Thank you so so much for this amazingly helpful and some tutorial! As an absolutely self taught home sewer this has given me such a boost of confidence - it is my best neckline to date. Wow. Thanks so much! ❤😊❤
I’m so happy this has been so useful for you!!
I note you measure the neckline to determine how long to make the neckband - but I didn't hear how wide you make the neckband. Maybe I missed it?
The pattern I used came with a neckband piece so I used that to determine the width.
Best video I've found! This is what sewing is really like. Take it off, redo, rip a little out, go back...
THANK YOU
Thank you so much, really pleased it was useful
Thanks so very much Hayley..great tutorial! I just bombed my last neckband (actually my first go at a v neck top). Eventually I will get up the gumption to try again. Happy holidays to you and your family. Love that you are doing a lot more videos. 🥰
Very easy to understand. But I missed the width dimension of the neckband you cut. Would you please tell me how wide the strip is that you cut for this video? Thank you so much!
Thank you, I just used the pattern piece for the neckband for the width. This is the Tilly and the Buttons Billie sweatshirt so used the neckband piece that came with that
Very helpful! Thank you! You are the 8th knit neckline video I have watched and wish I had watched yours first and I wouldn’t have to have watched the others! lol
I have struggled with the knit necklines being wonky and it keeps me from sewing up my stash of knit and knit patterns.
I will try your method. 🤞 one of the biggest problems with deciding the neckline is the variations in the amount of stretch for all the different knits. I was hoping to find a chart to figure out the stretch and then what percentage of neckline do you cut each different knit. I have a chart for stretch but not the other part of info for percentage to cut each knit neckline. You are the first person to show how to figure out if your neckline facing needs to be smaller! THANK YOU🙌🙌
I’m so pleased you have found the video to be so helpful! A chart would be so useful but fabrics can all behave so differently
This felt like a 1:1 masterclass for jersey neckline, very well executed. Thank you!
Wow, thank you so much!!
How thick is the neck band? I cannot find that 😅
I used the neckband pattern piece that came with the jumper pattern - this was the Tilly and the Buttons Billie.
Enjoyed the the video...was hoping to see the top finished with you modeling it...could you wear it in your next video? Really looking forward to My November box. Thank you Hayley.🤗🌼🌸
I know, I'm sorry I ran out of time! I will wear it to film the unboxing this week!
Thank you
If you are changing a pattern to increase the neckline, what do you recommend?
I would just measure around the neckline opening after sewing the shoulder seams together - reduce that measurement by 10% to start with and add seam allowance. Use that measurement to cut a neckband and baste it in place. If it feels too loose you can reduce the length of the neckband until it feels right. Hope that helps
Really helpful going to give this a go thank you
Glad it helped
Hello! Did you cut your neckband on the straight or cross grain? Does it matter? Thank you!
I think on the cross grain so it has the most amount of stretch
@@SewHayleyJane Thank you!
Hi Hayley, why did you only add 1x 1.5cm, instead of 2x 1.5cm? You need SA on both ends of the neckband (unless you’re cutting it on the fold). Also shouldn’t you measure at the seam line, not at the cut edge of the neckline? Thanks.
Hi Claire, thank you for your comments. Yes you are correct I probably should have added 3cm for seam allowance - however I ended up taking so much extra off anyway. And re measuring at the seam line - I think if it was a woven garment I would probably do that, for jersey which stretches it doesn't have to be quite so precise as a home/hobby sewist. This video is just how I do it, how I have learnt myself over the years. Hope that helps
As a complete beginner this video is by far the best.
Wow thank you so much, I’m so pleased
Haley great video. I made the Pansy dress by poppy&Jazz on my serger. I used a cotton Jersey. First time of using this type of fabric. However I made a big boo boo. The skirt has 2 rows of gathering stitches. Did that no pobs. Then stitched it together. Went ok. But when I turn it right way out. I could see the gathering stitches. So I took them out. My gathering almost all but disappeared.😮😢😢😢 on my serger the brother Lock 2104D there seems to be no wiggle room to insert more fabric underneath the pressure foot. What should I have done? I thought by surging it it would be quicker which it was. I seemed to have paid the price in loosing my gathering
Thank you very much for this video. It was really helpful. what about a lined stretchy fabric. Will you hemm it the same way?
A really REALLY helpful tutorial - thank you so much for this.
What stitch are you using for top stitching please a triple stretch or just normal? Tia
Great video and thank you! Quick question, what type of thread do you use on a jersey, knit stretchy fabric? 100% polyester? With a ballpoint needle? Thank you!!
Hi, yes I always use Gutermann Sew All polyester thread and a ballpoint needle
