Bishop Neckline Guide

HERE'S an essential notion for making the perfect bishop neckline.  This guide is on pellon which you can attach to a wooden hoop or pin it to corkboard.  Once you see how important it is to have a form to follow for the width of the neckline you will never even consider attempting a bishop dress without one.  This guide is also perfect for heirloom sewing for making scallops in either lace or trace off onto your collar fabric to embroider a scalloped edging either by hand or machine.

Ellen McCarn's new Smock and Block Guide $6.00  

Bishop, Yoke & Collar Guide is a versatile aid to use from the start to finishing of the smocked garment, but it Bishop or Yoke, Collar or Insert.  Neckline sizings are from 18" doll, Preemie/Newborn up to Adult.  Actual size is 14" x 14".  Also included is a Scallop Guide for Hems and Collars  for scallop sizes 1", 1 1/2", 2", 2 1/2", 3", 3 1/2" & 4".

The fabric is a heavy weight and durable non-woven pressed fiber that is stretch-resistant. It can be pinned on or basted to.  Put it in an embroidery hoop for smocking on the guide if desired (but it's recomended that you hold your smocking in your hands unattached from the guide as the guide will last longer). Instructions are included.
