Thank you Grandma ☺️ I enjoyed you showing me how to extend the original stitching of the hem to a much more comfortable neckline 👍🏼 I no longer feel like I'm chocking 😅

Thank you, very helpful. I watched another video but wasn't happy with her technique at all. Yours is just what I was looking for.

Question- did you use stretch stitch for the topstitching?

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.
Can you do the same to a double neck sweatshirt?

I haven't tried it on a double neck, but seems to me it would work okay.
Is this doable without those special foot items that you put on and don't know what a stretch stitch is??

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.

What are the foot letters that you are using?

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.
But you didn’t make neck enlarge , you cut off and join . That's what I wanted you have done , but the front of my T-shirt would be as deep as 7". How will I do that? Please advice 🙏🏻

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.
Can you do the same with a sweatshirt?

@@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.
