Joanne - I've just found your newest tutorial - on double-jointing, wedge necks - and I must commend you on your work: it's the finest one I've ever read & seen on explaining!! THANK YOU!
All of the others SAY what to do, and yet invariably they do NOT do as they say - use the correct/different sizes of disks underneath each of the different areas to support the flat sides of the wedges.
Or they don't sew separate sections of non-pile fabric over these disk sections but instead they draw the wedge fabric across in a gathering thread as one usually closes a neck. This leaves the most ugly bump there and the wedge is SO obvious: no position smoothes out the neck curve into a natural line....
If you hadn't put the pins into position it would be impossible to find your seams Thank you THANK YOU for your MOST generous time put into this tutorial!
Gee Bobby, Thank you so much for the compliment on the tutorial. I am glad it made any kind of sense. It has been an on going struggle for me, and to finally figure it all out, well I just had to show anyone who would look.
Here is the link to the post on the blog, it is also on my website with some other tutorials.
