| Left Point Using Pam's Technique, Right Using The Traditional Poke and Roll |
Collar points, what a pain. I can't tell you how many awful collar points I've made. Actually the point on the right done with poke and roll is one I'd normally be quite pleased with. I've tried all the tricks before.. Taking a few stitches across the point, trimming down and down, extra small stitches, etc. Nothing really makes as much of an impact as this awesome technique brought to us by Pam at Off The Cuff. I like her blog a lot, very professional and well worth a read.
Here's the original
post which includes lots of text and photos. This is my first video in a while so hopefully I'm not too rusty... Enjoy!

But unlike others you *did* give me credit for sharing this "little-known" technique that I learned during my formal Tailoring Apprenticeship...and for that I thank you very much!
Best always, Pam !

November 26, 2012 at 10:52 AMThanks, Brian, for a such a clear, detailed description of this technique. I share your enthusiasm for vintage machines, treadles and Necchis. (I have too many vintage machines.) I find working on a quality machine very soothing, which helps in moments of frustration.
