I sew down the piping. Add the bottom of the collar and stitch. Then I will stitch about 1/8" away from the first stitching. Then cut close to the stitching. Using this technique helps to keep the piping from showing and makes it curve beautifully. My other trick is to hand baste the collar to the dress to make sure it doesn't move when I sew the collar down.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08287004861161570085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6192311107629759652.post-87920747493716429492014-09-22T20:42:01.711-07:002014-09-22T20:42:01.711-07:00Your collar is flawless!
