Brilliant tutorial delivered in a lovely Scots accent 🙂. Thank you
I’m an advanced beginner to sewing and have watched probably a hundred or more video tutorials. Your methods and explanations are by far the best. Thank you for the work you put into these videos. It’s helping so much!
This video makes me feel more confident about sewing becomes.. Thanks
This is very helpful for me as I begin summer t-shirt sewing! And learn about sewing stretchy t-shirt fabrics. Thanks!😊
I really struggle with jersey neckbands but I am determined to conquer them Thanks for the very useful video! Edited to add: I tried this and did a PERFECT neckband!!! I'm so happy!
Fabulous. It always confused me aboout quartering, not realising that you dont use the shoulder seam. My necks always worked out well because I just used my common sense realising that the front scoop is longer. But your instructions were brilliant. I love your Scottish accent too. Thank you. You are never too old to learn I am 75 and been sewing since I was 12.
This has been a huge help to me. After managing to make my wife a T-Shirt I bought a pattern to make myself a sweatshirt. The instructions for the neckband (along with fuzzy photos) left me very confused but this video made everything clear. I realised after watching the video that I bought the material for the T-shirt from your shop so thanks again for helping me advance my sewing ambitions.
Ah that's great news!
I came for the sewing, I stayed for the voice!
95TJZ same!
Really informative. Loved the demo!
Me too!?!!!
I was watching the video when my husband walked by. He turned up the video so he could hear her accent better!
Right? The music of the language is an added bonus. (It doesn't hurt that the video is useful, too; that bit about finding the quarters of the neck opening... how come I didn't think of that???)
The bobbin hack for the twin needle is brilliant!! YT is great for beginners!!! Awesome tutorial
This was a great video. I think I could do this now, so thank you very much!
I could listen to you speak for hours! thank you for the very useful tips!
Thank you very much for this video. You explain very well and very clearly what you are doing and why. You also provide easy to see demonstration. I also liked you showing different alternatives to sewing the neckband and it was very good to show how you use a double needle on your machine.I am looking forward to watching more tutorials from you. Well done and many many thanks.
Right?! I'll definitely check out more of her videos because of this one.
Great video. Just what I've been looking for. Have been sewing for over 60 years and have not worked with knits, but I will now. Time to fill my closet with lots and lots of custom T-shirts. Thanks again. Happy sewing everyone.
This is the clearest and easiest to understand of neck binding tutorials I've come across. I think I finally get it, thankyou!
GREAT VIDEO - sewing knits suck and your direction actually makes it feel more attemptable and one might actually succeed - Bravo and Thanks!!!
I never knew that a twin needle stitch will do a zigzag on the underside. Now I will use this technique more!
this is by far the most thorough tutorial ive watched! thank you so much!
Just done my first successful neck band after watching your tutorial, can’t thank you enough.
Best tutorial I’ve seen so far I couldn’t find a proper one before this
Thank you for this Lauren. I used to sew a lot...decades have passed and I've taken it up again but I'm finding a lot has changed. New products, different types of fabrics and techniques...I'm not as confident as I once was. I was dreading doing the neckband on a knit top that was coming out really good as I didn't want to mess it up in the home stretch. Your tutorial helped me out immensely - it made a lot more sense than the instructions!
Hi Shelly, aw I'm so glad you found it useful :)
wow - this is THE best tutorial I've seen on this topic. THANK YOU
I love the way you teach. I've been sewing for a long time and I still don't know a lot of stitches and how to finish off garments with a clean look. Watching this video has helped me so much. I can't wait to make my own shirts.
OMG Lauren you have saved my sanity! I am relatively new at dressmaking, although I have been a sewing machinist for over 30 years in soft furnishing. I thought I would try making a dress in ponti Roma fabric (which is a first for me). But I became totally unstuck when trying to add the neck binding, even though there was a step by step phamplet instructions! I started at 8am yesterday unpicking the binding, sewing back on again, only to find it still didn’t lay flat, then I thought blow this I have enough fabric left to start again. But then I messed the neck binding again and noticed a click in front of the bodice! I never stopped all day 🤪trying to get it right, (part from meals)! So at midnight I went to bed with a heavy heart.
This morning I found your wonderful tutorials, and I realised where I was going wrong, so I thought I would follow your step by step video and give it another try. Yea! yea! I have done it! So thank you, thank you, Thank you! I wish I could hug you, you are an angel💝💝💝
Aw I'm pleased that you found it useful and it solved your problems! :)
This is such a great tutorial. Everything was so clear and concise. Thank you for the work it took to make this video. ❤
You’re an excellent teacher. Thank you for making these videos.
Thanks Lauren for another useful video, loving this series.
Thanks Liz. yeh it was a stretch (ball point) twin needle that I used :)
What an excellent clear video, thank you.
I AM sewing a t-shirt, I swear, but I’m going to watch all your other videos just because I love the sound of your voice. 😉
Watch 4 videos on the subject before watching this. They didn't help all that much. But this one covered it all! Thank you for a great and very helpful video!
Lauren thank you for ALL your tips on sewing the neckline on jersey fabrics. Great tips and information on the different types of interfacing brilliant.
Happy sewing 😊
Thankyou! You are a breath of fresh air. Lovely video, very well explained, confident to sew the neckline of my knit fabric tunic now....although I must say I’m quite liking just hemming it as per the last bit of the video!
I loved the video you did and it showed in detail how to do this...it has always been a questionable area for me, but you made it seem so easy and easy to understand. Thank you.
Love your tips and tutorials,thank-you.
Thank you for making this video! I was on my 5th and last attempt to add a neckband that looks half decent. And finally I have one, because of your instructions!
Thank you so much for doing this. It was so incredibly helpful!!
I've been looking for something like thsi for ages. It's brilliant.
Thank you Lauren! You helped rescue the t-shirt I have been making with my daughter -She is very happy to have a great neckband now!
Great! Especially for showing different ways... always good to expand ones skills
Great video, thank you for so much detail. It’s so good to see it in realtime as well. 👍
you are an excellent teacher! You're very patient, clear and so easy to understand! Thank you so
So glad I found your video. I love working with jersey fabric but get frustrated when working on necklines. This makes perfect sense and answers so many questions.
You are a fabulous teacher! This is the best video on neckbands that I've seen! Thank you so much!
I am so grateful for this video! thanks for fixing my "stretched " neck bands! YEA!
Thank you Lauren. I've just begun sewing with knits and this info is exactly what I need !!!
Thanks Lauren! These looked professional.
Thank you so much. I'm a beginner, this video will help me a lot. Greetings from New York.
Love the color of that fabric. Informative video. Thanks
Thank you Lauren. Very well explained.
One of the best sewing instruction videos I've ever watched!! I'm not going to shy away from knit sewing anymore! Thank you
Totally brilliant tutorial and being new to dress making this advice is invaluable. Thank you Lauren. xxx
the open method is just incredible! I've spent so much time (and pins!) doing the loop method. and it NEVER even occurred to me to run both threads for the double needle at the same time through the thread path. awesome video!
Love, love, love your tutorial. You make it look so easy and beginner friendly. Am definitely going to follow your instructions!
Excellent tutorial, Lauren. Thank your for sharing different techniques and for providing clear and complete instructions.
Thanks so much for this tip, I used the first one and it came out perfect, no sagging.
I love your videos because i learn a lot from you. Thank you.
Wonderful tutorial thank you so much, love all your tips and tricks, so useful
Great tutorial. I loved the pace, and your clear explanations. Cheers! 🤓
Thank you so much Lauren, this tutorial has just cleared up for me exactly why my bands have looked like train wrecks. Am now inspired to try again. 🌼
I am so glad I found you and your video!! You basically saved my T-shirt dress from being a neck less disaster 😂 thank you so much!!
Thank you so much. It’s a great help for beginners like me.
This is fantastic Lauren, your instructions are so clear. I'm looking forward to making a tshirt!!
So thorough! Thank you for this!
Awesome well explained! Good method teaching suggesting top stitching needs to be slow to jeep proper control giving it a professional finish! Thank you!
A really thorough step by step, l found your tutorial a great refresher.
This was so useful. Thank you very much. I never knew about the triple straight stitch and I didn't understand how using a twin needle would allow the neckband to straight. You've made that all very clear.
Excellent video - the Best I’ve seen on proper techniques for inserting neckbands on knit fabric. Thank you 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Lauren, thank you for this brilliant tutorial, just stepping into the world of sewing with jersey and twin needles and this has been so informative:-)))) x
I learned something new tonight. Thank you for the awesome tutorial. Enjoy your videos very much.

Very clear explanations, I'll surely have to listen again, especially for the calculation of the length of the neck band. I love the details on the variations - the most complete on the subject I've seen. Thank you!
I love your videos you are such a good teacher lauren
Brilliant Lauren, just ready to start a neckband for the first time in Jersey.
I love your tips and tricks! I'm fairly new to sewing so this has taken some of the guessing away. Ty!
I’ve ruined loads of dresses because I can’t do neckbands. Well, forget that, because after watching Lauren’s video, I’ve just done my first perfect neckband. I’m now going to dig those other dresses and see if I can work Lauren’s magic on them. Thank you very much Lauren
Thank you for the tips. I'm about to put them to good use right now! ✂️
Wonderful information and workmanship . Thank you
Your teaching method is very thorough and detailed. Thank you for such a great tutorial
Great tutorial! You are an amazing instructor
such an excellent tutorial. That was so helpful! Thank you!
This is a great tutorial! Thanks for posting, really helpful!
very clear and informative.
Thank you!
I will be attempting to make a knit shirt for the first time. I have watched a lot of videos and this video is by far the best one. Thank you for this. It has helped tremendously.
So pleased I found your channel, such a great informative video. I have not made any stretch garments so far & have yet to master my overlocker also. You are a great tutor, thank you.
You are a very good teacher Really enjoyed it and it was very helpful
This is so useful, thanks so much Lauren!
Totally agree with how well you have presented your video. And the finishing of a garment (especially a knit or stretch) can affect if you love it or hate it! Thank you for such a good tutorial - you will have many benefitting from sharing your talents and time.
Most helpful tutorial on this subject. Thank you
Terrific video Lauren. I am in the process of making a kaftan and this is exactly what I needed to assist me. You are superb at explaining things.
That tip about quartering the garment is just magic. I've always quartered my neck band and used the shoulder seams to line it all up but it was always off. Anyway this has really helped me. So thank you.
same - I just sewed a top, it came out ok, but front band is a little tight and back is a little loose - because my quarter points weren't in right place. ugh, I wish I'd watched this first! :)
Thanks very much. Very clear advice which I hope to put into use tomorrow!
Thank you so much, this is really helpful. :)
This is the most informative video I've watched on inserting a knit neckband and stabilizing the shoulder seams. Lauren, you have such a gift of teaching. You seem to instinctively know what the viewers/students need to learn, how to explain it in an easygoing, pleasant manner and anticipate questions. I so wish you had a series of learn to sew dvds to purchase! You have a wonderful teaching voice and style. Your garments are also beautifully made. Thank you for sharing your gifts with us.

thank you so much :)
It’s so easy to see what you’re seeing and the finish product is too perfect. Love to learn from you and your machine!
The Greenpincushion said everything I wanted to say. Lauren Guthrie - thank you so much for showing me OPTIONS!
Fabulous videos Lauren thank you from Australia
Wonderful tips. I made a knit crop top yesterday and I wish I watched this video. I used a store bought bias tape instead. New subbie.
Perfect explanation, ur follower from Egypt
Thank you, a lovely clear tutorial. x
Hi, Lauren, I have just recently found your channel and as I am just starting to make a tunic top for the first time using stretch material, this one was really useful. Thank you so much. Enjoying the other videos also! Kind regards from Penny in Liverpool 😊
Really useful Lauren, great explanation and love that you have given alternative ways of finishing. Thank you. Looking forward to the next video 😊
Thanks Helena :)
Helena Wagstaff is
This was most informative.. I see myself as an experienced sewer (haven't sewn seriously in many years) picking up this hobby I find i've forgotten many thongs. Plus I need to learn the nuances of the newer machines. Thanks again everything was helpful following
Thanks for this great video Lauren. I've just succeeded in making my first (flat) neckband thanks to your clear and concise explanations! The added bonus is your accent ;) Greetings from a fellow Scot in Paris.
You explain very clearly, thank you!
Thank you Lauren , your videos are so clear and easy to understand. I am using a new child's jersey dress pattern which just tells me to make a narrow hem at the neck edge of bodice. Your method is so much neater and more attractive. Thank you so much.
