Come Together: Three Ways to Join Stitches (V)

What’s the best way to join shoulder stitches? How about the toe of a sock? Have you ever wondered why a pattern calls for one method of joining pieces to another? Let’s put some joins into practice during this workshop while we work a Mattress stitch Seam, graft stitches with Kitchener Stitch, and work a 3-Needle Bind Off. We’ll discuss when to use each technique and when you can swap the techniques, too!

You will receive the Zoom link 1-2 business days before the virtual class.
