To make the points, cut a straight fold of goods as shown in Fig. 6. Fold it lengthwise through the center and press it. Then, fold over the ends as shown in Fig. 7.

In joining the folds to the edge of a collar, place each point, with the pointed end in, on the right side of the goods. Then, lay the lining on top of the folds and stitch, as shown in Fig. 8. When the collar is turned right side out, it will appear as in Fig. 9. If desired, stitch around the collar again about one-eighth of an inch from the edge.

The size of the points can be varied by cutting the folds wider or narrower.
