I made in the middle of making a men's collared shirt and have a question.
The pattern calls of interfacing to be placed on one of the two pieces forming this collar. When the two are placed right sides together, stitched, inverted to right-side out then pressed. Which is the best side to stitch to the neck first , the collar side with or without the interfacing? Which would give the best results?
Am I being as clear as mud here?? :)

Thanks

Depends... Does it have a separate collar stand?

Personally, I'd place the interfaced side so it was hidden and attach the side that will fold out and show first...
