Choose Your Turtleneck Scarf Size
Using a tape measure, measure forehead circumference – just above eyebrows: If forehead circumference measures 20-1/2″- 21-1/2″ make a size Small/Medium Turtleneck Scarf. If forehead circumference measures 21-1/2″-22-1/2″ make a size Medium/Large Turtleneck Scarf. We’re making a size Small/Medium Turtleneck Scarf in this sewing tutorial.
Prepare & Cut Fabric
Prepare your fabrics! Pre-treat fabric by steaming and pressing, then, stabilize fabrics for the sewing process by pressing and starching fabrics with June Tailor’s Quilters Starch Savvy. Press and starch, press and starch.
- Cut One Fabric Rectangle 18″ long by 21″ wide for size Small/Medium. Be sure to cut the fabric rectangle with the greatest fabric stretch across the 21″ width. (For Size XS/Small cut one fabric rectangle 18″ long by 20″ wide. For size Medium/Large, cut one fabric rectangle 18″ long by 23″ wide: for a 10-1/2″ wide x 8-1/2 long finished scarf).
- NOTE: Deanna, from Team NZP, stitched a Turtleneck Scarf for her husband – with One Fabric Rectangle measuring 22-1/2″ long by 23-1/2″ wide – cut from 5/8 yd Stretch Jersey Knit Fabric. Or, you may be the designer and choose your own custom fabric rectangle size!
Stitch Turtleneck Scarf
- Fold fabric rectangle, right sides together, meeting 21″ long edges. Pin.
Our Turtleneck Scarf is the perfect project to stitch with a serger overlock machine! Place pins parallel to cut edges – when stitching with a serger.
- Insert a new Schmetz Size 80/12 Jersey Chrome Sewing Machine Needle, and stitch seam with sewing machine set for a zig-zag wobble stitch, or stitch with an overlock stitch on a serger. Press seam flat, then press open or press to one side.
- Fold fabric tube, right sides together, stacking and aligning stitched seam and cut edges. Pin.
- Measure and mark a 2-1/2″-3″ opening along cut edges, staying an inch or more away from seam.
- Stitch seam with serger – leaving an opening at markings.
- Turn Scarf right side out through seam opening.
- Optional: Fuse a 3″ strip of Clover’s 1/4″ Fusible Web Tape to one inner seam allowance, at seam opening and fuse seam closed. Or, stitch opening closed with a sewing machine straight stitch, zigzag stitch, or hand stitching.
- Change thread colors, and serge another turtleneck scarf!
- Cut threads above upper thread guides.
- Cut threads at needles, raise presser foot, and pull to remove all four cut threads.
- Change serger cone thread spools.
- On the Bernette b64 AIRLOCK Serger, slide the Air Threader Connector to ON. Insert thread into Air Threader Nozzles and press the round Air Threader Button (upper right photo).
- Thread Needles with the help of a Machine Needle Threader.
- Remove Slide-on Flatbed Table and Freearm Cover to reveal the freearm!
When stitching with a serger with a free arm, stitch turtleneck seam with the presser foot on the outside of the circular seam!
