k3of5ks you are so welcome!

Beautiful finish - love this so much better than a band you can see around the neckline! Classy. Thank you!

[@LoveNotions]

Glad you like it!

[@christycampbell1874]

This was super helpful! Thanks so much!! Just a possible tweak- when you were sewing the music is pretty loud. 😊

[@LoveNotions]

Christy Campbell haha- getting the music right is my nemesis! Sorry about that

[@Trixie0229]

Thank you, I understand it now, perfectly! Do you always line with a different color?

[@LoveNotions]

Jeanie McMahon nice! As far as the binding fabric, I did two with the white DBP and one with the main fabric to match :)

[@annhinz6326]

Do you use a fabric that is more stable for the facing?

[@tamarakarlin2758]

Beautiful finish, love it, thank you Tessa! Got the pattern. What fabric did you use for the facing? Such a professional finish!

[@LoveNotions]

Tamara Karlin Thank you! the main was DBP and the facing is DBP as well, just in white ❤️

[@tamarakarlin2758]

@@LoveNotions Thanks Tessa! I thought it was like a knit binding, lol!

[@yoliebean]

Great tutorial. One question, did you scoop the front neck part out a little more than the original pattern piece? Yours looks like it sits lower than the one I made. I like that better.

[@LoveNotions]

yoliebean I didn’t, I cut it just as it was on the pattern but maybe it’s a little lower because of the neckline facing?

[@maureenmiddleton1450]

Can you achieve same result with serger? I have double fold bias binder.

[@LoveNotions]

You can but it would be a little more bulky. This is our preferred method for a super clean and neat finish. ~K

[@helenforman987]

Did you use a stretch stitch or a regular straight stitch?

[@LoveNotions]

I actually used a straight stitch - this neckline doesn't need stretch to go over my head and after 2+ years of wear, no popped stitches yet. Though a lightning stitch would be great if you prefer :)

[@cleanqueen75]

The way you did the neck binding, it looks like alot of bulk.

[@LoveNotions]

It is not at all bulky. And we recommend using a lighter weight fabric for neck binding if your main fabric is on the heavier side. ~K

[@sherylvitosh7209]

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

[@LoveNotions]

Demonstration purposes. Usually using the same fabric is fine, though! ☺️ ~J

[@LoveNotions]

Also, some people like using premade fold over binding vs making their own. Use whatever you have on hand! ☺️ ~J

[@robine6337]

What size did you make with that size neckband?

[@LoveNotions]

Robin E this is a size large
