Disaster, Disaster, Disaster!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HARK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't use the bias cut on the stretchy scoop neckline!!!! I've been taking the seams out of this several times :eek: ! The first was a bias cut, it turned out warpy. So, I tried connecting the back with a pie shape, still didn't work. Ended up ripping out the collar  . The next time, I cut a circular shape, it was too large on the inside. I tried the pie cut in the center back. Still didn't work. Ripped the collar out . Then, I cut a piece of fabric, with the stretch, and attached it and it looks OK. Not what I wanted, but I'm not redoing it. It's good enough for the Government, which is good enough for me  .Just an FYI, Azeeza Last edited by Azeeza; 09-16-2006 at 10:52 PM. |

Oh, dear, I'm sorry, I went home before I read your post about cutting a scoop neck on bias. Well, live and learn, right? Bias stretches very much, and does not necessarily pop back into shape. A bias cut for a scoop neck on non-stretch fabric is much easier to deal with than on stretch fabric. Try it sometime and see. I have an a-line dress pattern with a scopp neck that is cut on bias and it hangs beautifully. Personally, I hate dealing with stretch fabric and necklines of any kind- I almost always manage to stretch them out of shape at least slightly no matter how careful I am.
