Tutorial, part 6 - Front to Back

Place the front body assembly on top of the back body assembly, right sides facing and quilt lines meeting exactly at the shoulder seam. 

Baste the front yoke to back yoke at the shoulder seam. Flip the garment around (right sides out) and inspect the quilt lines at the seam to confirm that they meet exactly.



Once satisfied of their proper alignment, stitch at the shoulder seam, reinforcing the seam at the neckline and armhole. We actually recommend stitching the whole seam twice to further secure the many layers.



Press the shoulder seam allowance open. 



Topstitch in a parallel straight line on each side of the seam, ⅛" away, securing the seam allowances in place.



Repeat for the other side.
