Troubleshooting

Neckline doesn't sit properly.

Double-check the facings and ensure they are sewn correctly. Adjust the interfacing if necessary. Make sure to press the seams well.

Pockets are misshapen or difficult to sew.

Pin the pockets carefully before sewing. Use a walking foot if your machine has one, and consider using a lighter-weight interfacing to stabilize the pocket fabric.

Zipper installation is uneven.

Use a zipper foot and baste the zipper in place before sewing. Take your time and go slowly, and check your alignment frequently.
