This is great, thank you so much! Do you block the pieces before you begin seaming? What if it's acrylic yarn? Thanks again for the wonderful tutorials.

@ShainaBilow 3 ай бұрын

Hi - I only block before seaming if my fabric has a lot of textures (cable, lace, interesting knit/purl combos). For Stockinette sweaters, I block after the seaming is complete. I forget the yarn that I used... it was a chunky weight acrylic from a craft chain like Joanne Fabrics or Michaels.

What about if we have a pattern? Not stocking stitches for the shoulder seam?

@ShainaBilow 5 ай бұрын

The concept is the same. If you do some digging, you'll see the "V" and "A" lines hidden underneath your purl stitches in your stitch pattern.

Hi Shaina, I'm a new subscriber. I'm looking for advice on seaming the shoulder of a fisherman's stitch sweater. I think your mattress stitch demo for rib is brilliant, but I'm not sure it will work for fisherman's stitch.

@ShainaBilow 11 ай бұрын

Instead of seaming a "V" to an "A", you might have better alignment in Fisherman's Rib if you seam a "V" to a "V". All stitches in knitting can be broken down into whether we are looking at a cast on/bind off edge or a side edge and then that information dictates the type of seam to work. Fisherman's rib has the "V"'s from the cast on/bind off edge... the side seams would be more challenging as the structure of the rows is a little condensed. I'd recommend working slowly and not trying to take too much fabric up at once onto your needle.
