Valencia women's turtleneck - sewing tutorial
Before sewing
For sewing a turtleneck, we recommend using light weight ribbed jersey knit fabric. Other medium stretch knitwear is also suitable.
We recommend to use JERSEY or STRETCH needle for your sewing machine. Use Double Needle to finish a hem.
In case you don’t have serger you can use any stretching stitch on your sewing machine: Zigzag or special stretch stitch.
