So, you've created a beautiful piece of knitting and now you have to sew it up. If you sew it up the same way as you would sew up other types of fabric, it won't look good, so you'll need to follow these steps.
1Acquire a tapestry or wool needle. Use the same yarn as the knitted project unless you want the sewing to stand out.Ad
2Thread the yarn through the hole in the tapestry needle.
3Choose the stitch you want to use. Examples are the overcasting stitch, running stitch and back stitch.
4For the overcasting stitch, thread the needle through so that the yarn makes a circular motion and the needle enters on the same side every time.
5For the running stitch, thread the needle in and out in a continuous pattern.
6For the back stitch, go one space backward, the two forward, and repeat.Ad
We could really use your help!
