Trinity. said... I just did a turtleneck KS in rayon/lycra for DH and I had less than ideal results, too.
But the same pattern worked beautifully for cotton interlock. I'm wondering if the rayon is just too heavy and drapey for Kwik Sews particular neckline draft. 12/2/07 11:54 PM

Debbie Cook said... I've made this tee many times and I don't have the same problem with the neckline, using sizes S-M-L, or any KS neckline actually. I'm wondering if you're sewing with 1/4" seam allowances? As xenophea said, maybe the rayon didn't have enough recovery? But your shirt (and model) look nice even with the troubles. 12/3/07 6:42 AM
OP Gal said... I think you must have done a superl save with the neckline, because it looks great to me...um, and so does the model. Thanks for the review. 12/3/07 7:43 AM
