16.4.1 Factors to be considered while designing collar: 1. Design of the fabric: The collar design should harmonize with the fabric design. Fabric with large checks or stripes are more suitable for making straight line or square shaped collars than collars with round or curved lines. Similarly you should avoid floral designs and curved designs when making collars where straight lines are predominant.

a. Eyes: The eyes are curved or straight and are made of metal. These are usually substituted with thread loops of matching color thread. Usually finished in the same way as hooks. Fasten the thread on the wrong side when finished. Mostly overcasting, blanket or button hole stitch is used for stitching eyes.
