2. Cut a 2x2" square of fabric (do a longer one for a bigger shirt) like a 2x6" it doesn't really matter the length, but the width should stay at 2".

3. Iron in half the hot dog style, serge 3 sides.

4. Lay it down on the center mark of the neckline.

5. Mark a line 3/4 of the way down the iron crease

6. Sew a box around the line using 1/4" allowance!
