New Look Tunic: Finished Collar

Point turner and iron used to make the collar facing lay flat. Used Juki's 2mm distance guide foot to the center point and needle position to 1.4 to top stitch the 'raw' edge of collar down.

Tried it with the Edge Presser foot and realized that the guide was also going to push the facing away, so switched to the guide foot. Looks very professional.

Tomorrow will have to base the other sleeve in and sew flat and I may be able to sew the underarm and sides too. Must remember to leave the sides to vent, but may not be possible of the pockets droop too low.  Then it's hem the bottom edge of tunic and sleeves.

I was thinking that I may be able to make this a more wearable muslin if I embroider on it. Then it may look more like a sheer tunic.
