Tutorial, part 2 - Collar Assembly

For the STANDARD COLLAR option, fold the collar (piece G) in half, wrong sides together and bottom edges flush, and press. Baste or sew collar assembly closed ¼" from the open edges (bottom and center back).

For the HERO COLLAR option, place the collar (piece D) and collar facing (piece E) right sides together, with top edges flush (the collar piece will be slightly taller than the collar facing). Sew collar to collar facing. 

NOTE: We have included two "hero collar" options for the DS9/NEM division shirt. Option 1 is a basic rectangular construction, while option 2 is a gently rounded collar that will hug the neckline more tightly. The construction process is the same for both.

Press seam allowance toward the collar facing.

Understitch the seam allowances to the collar facing ⅟16"or ⅛" from the seam line.
