Then trim close to the stitching on the back and it looks very good.A strip 5/8 inch wide to attach it to the garment. The other is one thickness of felted wool bound in the same way and attached in the same way. Use zigzag stitch with same color thread.
This is EXACTLY what I was hoping to find! How do you attach it at the final stage without puckers or obvious "additions"? As a person that can only stand so much irritation against my skin, how it feels against my neck and shoulders is #1 and how it looks to others is #2. The same color thread must make a difference for how it looks on the finished product. Thank YOU!
