HowtoBindAKnitNeckline
Knit patterns are the new craze in the indie wing world. Knits are generally comfier and more practical for everyday life than woven garments. They stretch, so sizing is less of an issue. But becau of that stretch, they can be downright daunting to a newbie wist. I’ve been there, I know that feeling. For a long time, wing with knits was strictly off limits.
But wing with knits doesn't have to be terrifying. Today I’m going to show you how to bind the neckline of your knit garments. This technique gives your knit clothing items a finished look and allows the fabric of the neckline to sit flat against the skin. This tutorial can be ud for veral patterns in the Indiew shop, including the Out and About Dress by Sew Caroline, and the Summer Concert Tee and Ballet Dress by Dixie DIY. Just like using woven bias binding, once you get the hang of knit binding, you won’t be able to stop yourlf from making knit everything.

This tutorial is meant for u with a rger, but can be adapted for u with a normal wing machine. In every step where rging is required, simply u a zig-zag stitch (or oth
er stretch stitch) on your wing machine. When using a zig-zag stitch on knits, I make the stitch width narrower and the stitch length longer than the default zig-zag stitch ttings. That being said, if you plan on wing with knits frequently, investing in a rger might be a good idea simply for saving time. I rge with a Brother 1034D.
Okay let’s begin. Today I'm demonstrating this technique on Sew Caroline’s Out and About Dress pattern. You’ll be eing a summer version of that dress very soon!
1. Sew your dress bodice or shirt together as the pattern instructs. The neckline of your dress or shirt should be fully wn into a circle for this tutorial.
2. Cut out the neckband piece that is included with your pattern. Pay clo attention to the direction of maximum stretch for your fabric. If you cut the neckband piece off-grain, it may not stretch enough to fit around the neckline circumference.
3. Fold the neckband piece in half, with right sides together and short ends aligned. Pin the short edges and rge taking into account the am allowances stated in your pattern.
4. Press the rged am to one side and fold the neckband piece in half with long edges aligned and wrong sides together. Press the folded edge well.

5. Serge the long raw edges of your neckband. This will help the edges of your neckband stay flat when stretching it around the neckline.
6. With the neckband am at one end, fold your neckband in half. Place a pin at the opposite end, thus marking where the center front point of the neckband lies. Lay out your dress bodice or shirt and align the two shoulder ams. With pins, mark where the center back and center front points of the neckline lie.

7. Continue to pin the neckband to the neckline stretching the neckband fabric as you pin. Your neckband circumference should be considerably smaller than your neckline, but you should be able to stretch your neckband to lay flat around the entire neckline.
