Sleeveless blouse how to finish armhole?
AdaH   Intermediate IA USA Member since 11/21/09 Posts: 2137	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 3/23/12 1:33 PM I am almost at the point where I need to put some kind of finish on the armhole of a sleeveless blouse. What are some of the techniques you use? Usually I sew a small bias strip around the armhole then turn it to the wrong side and top stitch from the right side. Anyone else have a good and easy technique? ------ Ada

If I stitch from the right side, I always end up not catching all of the turned under edge in the stitching.
