How to create a clean neckline finish on a jersey garment
A – Cut the band: Cut a rectangle of jersey fabric 20% shorter than the neckline length (e.g., 48 cm for a 60 cm neckline) and 4 to 6 cm wide.
B – Sew the ends: Fold the band in half widthwise, right sides together, and sew the short edges to form a loop.
C – Fold in half: Fold the band in half lengthwise, wrong sides together, to create a double layer.
D – Attach to the neckline: Pin the band to the neckline, right sides together, stretching it slightly. Sew or serge all the way around.
Use a narrow zigzag stitch (1–1.5 width, 3 mm length) to sew the band
E – Topstitch: Press the seam allowance down and topstitch for a clean finish.
For topstitching, use a straight stitch if the neckline doesn’t need to stretch when worn, or a zigzag stitch if elasticity is required.
