This felt like a 1:1 masterclass for jersey neckline, very well executed. Thank you!

[@naturalwitchery]

Best video I've found! This is what sewing is really like. Take it off, redo, rip a little out, go back...
THANK YOU

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. 🥰

Great tutorial. I'm so pleased that the waffle fabric was in the subscription box - I just love my waffle fabric Westcliff ( I received such wonderful compliments at work).

Fab tutorial

[@SewHayleyJane]

Thank you Maureen

[@chz76]

Thank you very much for this video. It was really helpful. what about a lined stretchy fabric. Will you hemm it the same way?

[@paulinemcleggan7585]

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

[@rejoicealways1233]

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.🤗🌼🌸

[@SewHayleyJane]

I know, I'm sorry I ran out of time! I will wear it to film the unboxing this week!

[@colorcreatecamera]

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!!

[@SewHayleyJane]

Hi, yes I always use Gutermann Sew All polyester thread and a ballpoint needle

[@DonnakinsJewelry]

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!

[@SewHayleyJane]

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

[@jaynealcock3332]

What stitch are you using for top stitching please a triple stretch or just normal? Tia

[@lcscott6796]

Thanks for this. Saved me some money and from humiliation 😬

[@SewHayleyJane]

Glad I could help

[@clairejsmith]

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.

[@SewHayleyJane]

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

[@topangasunrise]

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?

[@SewHayleyJane]

The pattern I used came with a neckband piece so I used that to determine the width.
