Rick rack

20 years ago

To all you good sewers out there - it has been a long time since I made any garments. Now I am making a cute dress for my little granddaughter. It is supposed to have rick rack edging the large white collar. Do you sew the rick rack between the two collar layers, or do you just sew it on the back of the whole collar? Thanks - this problem is giving me fits!!!

My guess is in between, that's what I've seen on some things lately.

I think its a design decision. Either way would be fine. Do you have enough material to make a small sample of each?

I've always seen it "sandwiched" between two layers.

Sandwich it. Otherwise it could droop down & show. You will get a much more professional look that way. I used it a lot on my clothes in the 60's...age telling. I always thought it was such a waste to hid half the trim & wondered why some smart soul had never invented a way to make it with one straight side when you only wanted one to show.
