Clip and smooth the muslin around the neck to the center front landmark pin. Now you should clip through the crossgrain line and bring it lower than the neck seam. (The goal is to keep the collar curving smoothly around the neck, standing away from the neck evenly. The distance you pin the collar away from the neck is your choice. As you shift the collar up or down observe how the curve flattens and rounds out). Mark the neckline curve at the pinhead guide in the center front.
