Stitching Neck Opening

The neck opening will be hemmed with a small folded, flat hem at around 1/8” (3-4 mm) to 1/4” (6-7mm) wide. You will turn up the raw edges and baste them. Then you will fold it up again and fell the hem in place around 8 stitches per inch (2.5 cm). This is a bit tricker than it appears. the neck opening hem goes from being on grain to being on the bias this means it goes from fabric that is stable to being very stretchy.
