Textiles and Garment Construction

(iv) If the fabric frays, neaten the
outside edge of the facing with
zigzag stitches or pinking shears. (vii) Match the facing to the neckline
with the right sides together, then pin
closely to hold the facing firmly in
place. It is very important to match
the shoulders and notched markings
exactly to ensure the facing fits
perfectly. Tack along the neckline.

(v) Stitch the shoulder seam of the
garment. Press to make them flat.

(viii) Remove pins then stitch in the
normal way with the specified
seam-allowance, gently, follow
the curve of the facing snip
the neckline to make it flat.

Note: Do not stitch up the side seams at
this point, as it is easier to do the
facing when your garment is still flat.

(vi) Neaten the raw edge then press the
seam open to lay flat.
