Where it is used

10.2. Attach twill tape
p. 8- Attach one side of the tape, folding the ends, into the seam where the neckband meets the neckline. Place the tape on the placket side.
10.3. Baste twill tape
p. 8- Baste the second side of the tape 0.1 cm from the edge.
21.1. Measure twill tape
p. 12- Measure the twill tape to match the length of the back opening plus allowances for folding. Before cutting the twill tape, make sure to press it thoroughly.
21.2. Sew twill tape
p. 12- Sew the twill tape to the seam allowance at the back opening, placing the tape on the right side of the allowance. Stitch 0.1 cm from the edge of the tape on the fold side of the opening. Leave a 1.0 cm allowance at the beginning and end.
