Stitching Neck Design on a plain cut pattern of a kurti

A beautiful neck is life of a dress. It makes the dress look attractive and adds interest to the neck.

Here, in order to make a designer neck, we need a strip of a design (you may have even a neck or border design cut from your old sari/skirt/dupatta or anything interesting which is in sync or in contrast to your base pattern cloth.

Attach this pattern on the base cloth using pins so that your design does not change its path and shape during stitching.

After fixing the design with the help of pins; get your machine ready.

You may stitch with any straight stitching machine also but here I stitched with my Usha Jenome stitch magic in zig zag pattern to add up to the design.

The thread may also be any contrast or the same color depending on your choice.You should be extra careful while choosing contrast colors because it needs neatness of stitching.

Before starting on your main clothe, please check the thread on a strip of extra clothe to ensure stitches are upto your satisfaction.

While stitching, try to have the wider part of the cloth on your left to minimize wrinkling and for enhancing ease of stitching.

After finishing your work, cut the extra threads and iron the pattern from the back side of dress to get the neat look.
