I attached it with the overlocker then folded it back to look like a cuff of sorts and secured it at the top and bottom. The hem I done on the overlocker then just folded it under and machined it in place. <br /><br />I think french seems are the nicest on the inside of a top. Finishing is to each persons taste but I tend to go into the designer shop and see how the do it. Or just look at the rtw clothes you already have and find a finish you like. xYvette Friendshiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07739673651236246887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1995114579288287370.post-78805010901204064102012-07-02T15:47:13.906+01:002012-07-02T15:47:13.906+01:00Awesome!
