This was initially to be a response to Freda's inquiry about facing scoop or square necklines, but the list contains much more. There's also an article on Threads website titled "Not Your Ordinary T-Shirt" and the link may be in our own online Help files (I didn't look). Some of these links may already be in the Help files--if they're not, perhaps they can be added.

Here's an interesting and helpful discussion about finishing/facing square neckline.
