I have made a few knit tops and I always think the bottom hems make them look odd and just not professional--kind of pulled, so I appreciate learning this and thank you for your response!

Here ar...Hi Julie, yes, I did use a knit for this. Here are my tips for softer knits and getting the hems to hang nicely. I used two different techniques as the overlay needed to hang differently than the main body of the top. <br />For the overlay--I hemmed this with my coverstitch machine and put one-inch strips of tear-away embroidery stabilizer between the fabric and the dog feeds. Gently tear away the stabilizer when done and you have a nice hem with no tunneling!<br />For the tops main body, I did some experimenting as I wanted this hemline to not have the floaty characteristics of the overlay. I cut about 1" strips of the same knit as the top. I folded the hemline of the top, pressed and slipped the strips in between the folded hem. After that, I also used the coverstich and then trimmed away any excess with a pair of applique scissors. Someday soon, I will show how I do this on my blog. Happy sewing!<br />Sue Sue Parrotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00623999696930124052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-643856792310663826.post-29131078414532510332016-02-02T07:55:05.655-06:002016-02-02T07:55:05.655-06:00Thanks Lori, this is a very fun pattern!Thanks Lori, this is a very fun pattern!Sue Parrotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00623999696930124052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-643856792310663826.post-86653673639343134662016-02-02T07:54:48.139-06:002016-02-02T07:54:48.139-06:00Go for it patsijean!

It hangs so nicely--I can never get the bottom of knit tops to hang so well, they always look kind of pulled out at the bottom. Also the overlay looks like the bottom is nice and flowing. I would like to try this top, (or any Style Arc, just haven't gotten to it) but wonder about the fabric choice and how you get the bottom to look so good. thanks for any tips!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15246621808140569634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-643856792310663826.post-5923421248744088002016-02-01T13:37:35.691-06:002016-02-01T13:37:35.691-06:00That is a great looking top and fun pattern.That is a great looking top and fun pattern.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04229406683301436266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-643856792310663826.post-89199069097862509742016-01-31T22:57:53.353-06:002016-01-31T22:57:53.353-06:00I've been looking at that one, and just happen...I've been looking at that one, and just happen to have some print from FM similar to yours.
