How to Enlarge Crew Neckline on Tee Shirt 

So glad it helped. Peace.

Thanks so much

I'm so glad it was helpful. Thank you so much for your kind remarks.

Thx. And you're very welcome.

Thank you

Oh good. Thx for letting me know

You're very welcome

You could give it a try, but you might get some puckering stretching it that much. If you have a similar colored tee that you could sacrifice, you can cut bias strip from that and use as ribbing for the neck. It can be 75-80% of neck circumference.

Thank you :)

I used a coverstitch machine. You can get the same effect using straight stitch with double needles on regular sewing machine though. Or you can, yes, use your stretch stitch.

Yes, you can use a regular foot. The stretch stitach is a small zig-zag stitch. It looks like a lightning bolt on your stitch selector. If you don't have that, use a very narrow zig-zag stitch with smaller stitch length.

Thank you so much - I'm going to give it a try😊

@@leslieanderson1774 You're welcome. Happy sewing.

The neck is minimally enlarged by 2 seam allowances, the one cut off and the new seam taken. To enlarge more, I suggest you cut neckhole desired size and make bias tape from another t-shirt to bind it with. Happy sewing.

You're very welcome

I haven't tried it on a double neck, but seems to me it would work okay.

Thanks for watching and for your query. I used the 1/4-inch foot, the one with the blade on the edge of the foot, to re-sew the ribbing on. I used the stitch-in-the-ditch foot, the one with the blade in the center, when I did the top stitching. If you don't have these feet, you can still do this. They just help with stitch placement.

Thx

Thx

Yes, if it has that same type crew neckline

@@upcycledisland I actually ended up loosening the neckband on my sweatshirt by washing it and then stretching it while it's still wet. It worked but it doesn't change the fact that it's just poorly designed to make it that tight to begin with.

@@ginsengroot815 glad you discovered an easy solution; I'll have to give it a try
