I recently found this helpful video tutorial on understitching by Evelyn Wood on YouTube, and it really cleared up an area of my sewing that had been giving me a lot of trouble. When you make a neckline that has a yoke, your finished product can pucker and it is hard to get the interior seam to lay down correctly. With this clever method, you just sew along the yoke lining and you sew the edges of you join seam into that understitch. The outcome is very professional and Evelyn really explains this technique very well. This is a video that everyone who likes making clothing should watch because it will help all your future projects immensely.
