1.5 - BIEBER - Shoulder Assembly

We will assemble our shoulders in the same way. This time, it is the Back that will overlap the Front.

  • Use your chalk marking again to overlap the Back on the Front, and pin
💡 To pin correctly, we recommend pinning the two ends of your shoulder line first, then placing a pin in the middle, right between the two. Continue by placing a pin in the middle of two other pins each time until you have enough to hold everything in place.

 

Overlap shoulder lines - double needle stitch Front and back collar
  • Sew with a double needle as before, remembering to backstitch at the beginning and end. Start stitching at the outer seam of the collar and finish at the armhole.

  • Make a support stitch at the collar yokes to "close" the whole thing. Make sure to make your stop stitches here as well, even if it's a small stitch.
