How long have I been working on the "perfect t-shirt"? (April 2013) The Final Frontier was the neck binding. I used the neckline x 0.875. Too much, left it ripply. It wasn't completely dry...just pulled it out for photo shoot. Maybe? (Or Not.)
So let's see, that's 2 years, 4 RTW t-shirts sacrificed for templates. 4 needles (including a fancy "double needle"). 5 spools of thread of each color attempted. Yards of fabric. Hours trolling the internet for t-shirt tutorials.
Laundry costs. Several bottles of wine and six packs of beer.
I may need to re-think my hatred for shopping for RTW clothing.

I love rd so this is why I know this will work out for you lol! have you tried going down a size around the top or is it just the fabric? some fabrics just doesn't work no matter how hard we try with no fault of our own
