I wanted to show you my finished Love Notions’ LDT. You’ve seen the front already, but here it is all finished. Neckline done, hems done. It looks much better.

Here’s the back view. The back fabric actually coordinates with the sleeve fabric. I did have a fairly major hiccup trying to finish this tee. I was using my Cover Pro and of course sewing on the right side of the garment. It wasn’t until I had finished the neckline that I saw this: Those are some terrible looking stitches! I’d had this problem before and called the shop where I purchased this. This was only the 2nd time I was using it. They said adjust the tension. Well I did. The test strip seemed fine. I’m going to have to look into this problem more.

I spent an evening picking them out. After that it was an old tip from one of Nancy Zieman’s shows that I used to finish the tee: the Wobble Stitch. It was the perfect solution. I finished the tee’s hem, neckline, and sleeves all with a wobble stitch. The close up shows the small zigzag but from a distance it looks fine.

I will revisit the LDT because I do like the fit and the shape is better for me with that swing style.

Happy creating!
