2. Sew the facing to your placket using 1/4" seam allowance. When you reach the “V” at the top of the placket lift the presser foot and turn the fabric, then continue down. This is hard to do perfectly and your edges may not stay lined up exactly, so try and move the fabric around to avoid it bunching up and getting caught in your needle.
