Thanks! I have made all my Dad's shirts with tails for the last 35 years. I will definitely try this method!

Elmer's glue to make the hem lie flat?

This was how I learned to hem every thing in Home Ec. class- we're talking back in the mid 60's

Very nice. I'll have to remember this. I bookmarked it. Thanks for posting!

Stay stitching 1/2"+/- along the curve is one I learned in junior high school (1950s). This method can be used for any curved edge of single layer fabrics, i.e., a round table cloth, a neckline. It also works well on sheer fabrics.

That's a great tip. I'm going to bookmark that one. You could also make your own bias tape and it would match even better.
