For piping, you have first to cut strips of one inch width. S·trips shoutd not be .small. The longer the strip, the lesser the numb~r of Joints in the neck face strips.

Do not join these strips horizontally or vertically with one another. The joining should be crosswise. Keep the strips one over the other and cut them crosswise. then pick them separate and join crosswise, then cut a silt in the joints or else the piping joint will make the place thick.

After joining in this fashion. take one qua,rter inch margin from the edge and fokllt. then carry out stitching.

Take the measure of the fu ll neck. In general f-or ten inch measure, take nine in~h. which means the piping will be stretched by one Inch. Do not stretch the portion of neck, while fixing the neck facing.

If the neck face is stretched, then the pfpingwill stand out projected. While ftxlng the round shape ofthe neck. stretch it just slightly. While joining the piping, take the margin just a line mark more than one fourth Inch. After the piping is joined, the outer edge of the piping should be pressed with nail keeping the plplngoutslde.

This plping margin should remain Inside Intact. hence It should be folded such that. on the outer side in between the slit, initial rough stitching is done and piping is done by hand stitching. Thereafter stitching is carried outfrom outsjde.

While joining the neck strip of V or pentagonal shape, the piping shoufd be done as usual at the cone shape. Do not take Ule pleat first. Take marking on the piping and prepare the same. After the piping is ready and thereafter near the comer the inner part of piping small tucks are made, the square piping will be seen on the outer part.
