With a neckline, you’ll start at the shoulder edge and sew downward, following the curve to the center-front. Here’s a short guide ( Directional Stitching), but basically, you sew from the highest point to the lowest point. How do you staystitch? You’ll need to use a technique known as directional stitching, which is designed to minimize stretching, puckering, and distortion.
If your allowance is ½”, staystitch at ¼”. If your allowance is a standard ⅝”, staystitch at ½”. It’s done within the seam allowance, so it won’t show. This includes necklines, contoured waistlines, armscyes, sleeve caps, and even shoulder seams. Where should you staystitch? To be safe, staystitch any curved or bias edge that might potentially stretch during the sewing process. Or your neckline is suddenly a lot deeper than it should be. Then when you go to assemble your garment, you’ll find that pieces no longer match up. Handling the fabric, even just to pin the pieces, can result in unintended stretching. When should you staystitch? It must be done first thing, before you start pinning and sewing anything together. I usually use a slightly smaller stitch length than normal. What is staystitching? Staystitching is a line of regular straight stitching that stabilizes the fabric’s edge, so it won’t stretch during construction. Patterns aren’t always clear about this crucial step, sometimes skipping it altogether-usually with disastrous results! Whether your fabric is woven or knit, all curved edges must be staystitched as a preliminary step.
