Any idea if it will work with the lining rolling to the inside like it does with a woven?

Unfortunately, as I added to the post, I don't know any way to do this with a full sleeve. There is just too much bulk to fold it in unless you have very thin fabric (such as silk chiffon) and a wide shoulder. <br /><br />You can either finish the neckline and from there on treat the lining and fashion fabric as one at the armscye, so you have the exposed seam allowance (this is generally what I do if I'm not lining the sleeve due to laziness and the fact that it is inside the garment). Or you can hand-stitch the lining's turned-under seam allowance in place at the armscye to enclose the seam allowances.The Slapdash Sewisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11668474749166329852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198660701949089916.post-45565892003454847442012-09-29T09:19:36.669-04:002012-09-29T09:19:36.669-04:00I always enjoy your detailed reviews and often cre...I always enjoy your detailed reviews and often credit this tutorial as a superior construction method when reviewing sleeveless dress patterns. Unfortunately I'm experiencing a bit of a brain fart on my current project. I'm sewing New Look 6968 with a 3/4 length sleeve and fully lining the body of the dress (sleeves left unlined). I want to do a flat sleeve assembly and full machine insertion of the fashion and lining fabric. I just can't seem to visualize the process for some reason. Ideally I would like to enclose the armsyce seam, but if this is not possible am not opposed to serging through all layers for a reasonable interior finish.
