GE - sewing question/help (trim)

[Carolyn Young]

Also, you can try running a single gathering thread just inside one edge of
the trim and then ease the curve that way.  I have also used this in
conjunction with the steam iron method for some embroidered trims.
 
Good luck,
Caitlin

Hello Nan.

The steam iron method works, but not with all kinds of trim, it usually only
works well with plain, non-embroidered ribon trim.  Depending on the pattern
of the trim, I have tucked and "mitered" trim to have it follow the curve.
I have also noticed that some people just ignore the curve and apply the
trim around the neckline with right angles.

Sorry can't be of much more help than that.

Toodles, Seren

Attn: Sewing guild members or anyone who has done this before... 
I need to know how to apply flat trim to a round neckline (for the loaner 
garb tunic project). I hand basted, but the trim puckers...looks like you 
know what. It has been prewashed. Any & all advice will be considered! I 
read somewhere about steaming the trim before sewing it down..? 
Thanks in advance for the help; I'd like to knock this out before Sat so I 
can bring it to clean up day for Gwynyfwy...Looking forward to seeing 
everyone soon-Nan Turnbull
