Step 7: Finishing the hem and shoulder holes

Finishing the hem and shoulder holes is very easy - simply fold the edges under by a 1/4 inch and then again by a 1/4 inch, sew (staying close to the edge of the fold to catch the fabric) and remove the pins.  There will be a lot of fabric to sew through when you go over the seams, but the machine should be able to handle it.  You should end up with a nicely finished edge.
