Shoulder-to-shoulder taping is a fabric sewn to cover the raw edge of the sewing construction that closes the front and back shoulders of a T-shirt. Its function is to provide better comfort and durability.

There are many other details that help describe the quality of a garment. For example, a lighter made with a finer, softer yarn hangs better and has a tighter looking surface. A heavier weight garment made with heavier yarn is more open. The best way to get a good looking fabric is to keep a relatively tight stitch construction and change the yarn sizes for weight changes.
