Покладіть передню деталь на задню _лицьовими сторонами одна на одну_. Зшийте бокові та плечові шви. Якщо уВас є машина-оверлок, саме час скористатися нею. Якщо уВас її немає, обробіть припуски на шви іншим способом.
Заверніть край доверху та прошийте його. Якщо у вас є коверлок, то використовуйте її. Якщо ні, скористайтеся _подвійною гілкою_або_стібком "Зіг-заг"_, щоб край міг розтягуватися.
Трикотажна тканина не розпадається по краях, тому рекомендовано зігнути край один раз та пришити його. Після цього пришитий край можна акуратно підрівняти ножицями.
Краще розпочати з краю, який має найрівнішу криву. За замовчуванням - це пройми, але якщо Ви змінили налаштування викрійки (наприклад, зі спортивним типом спини), це можуть бути і не пройми.
Зараз ми будемо закривати пройми та горловину [трикотажною бейкою](/docs/sewing/knit-binding) (Не рібаною. Між ними є різниця, і це пояснюється [тут](/docs/sewing/knit-binding)).
You might need to practice a bit to get the hang of it.
> Make sure to stretch your binding more when you're taking a sharper bend. Read my notes on [knit binding](/docs/sewing/knit-binding) for more info.
### Mark binding ends

With about 6cm left to go before we complete our circle, it's time to sew the ends of the binding together.

Take one of the edges, and stretch it along the 3cm seperating it from the start point as you would while sewing.
Mark the binding where it reaches the start point. Do the same for the other end.
### Sew binding ends together

Fold your A-shirt in whatever way makes it easier for you to place both binding ends with good sides together, aligning the marks. Sew them together on the mark.
> 6 cm is not much, but should be enough to get both edges comfortably under your sewing machine to sew them togther.
### Finish last 6cm of binding

Now that your binding ends are joined together, it's time to finish the last 6cm of binding. Sew it down, staying 1.5cm from the edge as you did before.
## Step 4: Fold knit binding to the back and sew down
### Fold your binding over the fabric edge to the back

Fold your binding fabric around the fabric of your A-shirt to the back. This is how we'll sew it down.
> While the fabric is folded double at the front (hiding the fabric edge in the process) there's no need for that at the back. We will merely trim back the edge later, given that knit doesn't ravel. If we were to fold back the fabric at the back too, it would only add bulk.
### Sew your binding down

From the right side of your fabric, sew along the inner edge of your binding (furthest from the edge), making sure to catch the binding at the back in the process.
<Note>
If you have a coverlock machine, that would be perfect for this seam
</Note>
You'll have to, once again, stretch your binding a bit while doing this. But this time, there's an extra caveat to look out for.
<Note>
##### Beware of the uneven feed
As you feed your binding through your sewing machine, the feed dogs will pull the bottom layer (back of your binding) forward.
In a perfect world, all layers will follow smoothly.
But more often than not, the top layer (front of your binding) tends to lag behind a bit.
This causes your binding to not neatly fold around the edge of the fabric, but make ugly wrinkles.
So watch out for this, and if you see it happening, stretch the under-layer a bit extra to compensate.
</Note>
## Step 5: Trim back knit binding on the inside

On the inside of your A-shirt, trim back the knit binding against your seam to finish up.
<Note>
Be careful not to cut a hole in your A-shirt. Seriously, this happened to me on more than one occasion.
