Knit Necklines
Neck finishes for knit fabrics will no longer be a challenge. This lesson will introduce you to a variety of sewing machines for you to choose the desired neck finish for your specific knit garment. Whether it is a simple overlocked and chainstitched finish or a banded neckline with a coverstitch, we will teach you how.
