Hi Nehzat -

When cutting out the fabric for the peter pan collar, where should the grainline be?  With the shoulderline, CB, CF, or should there be another line?

Thanks,
Charlotte

Re: Grainline for peter pan collar

Dear Charlotte,

The grain line on the pattern should be along the center back for the one piece peter pan collar with an opening on the front.

If the peter pan collar opens on the back for a garment with a back opening, using zipper or button and buttonholes, then the peter pan collar will be split into two pieces. In this case the grain line of the peter pan collar should be parallel to the center back line of the bodice pattern.

Happy sewing,

Nehzat
