Seaming isn't magic — or scary — and it's no reason to avoid pieced sweaters. Rather, it's a skill to be learned just like any other. In this workshop you'll learn the basics of mattress stitch, the go-to seaming stitch for many projects. Then you'll explore the classic backstitch seam, as well as the crocheted seam. We'll talk about when and why you'd choose each one.
