How To Sew Seams Together

How To Sew Seams Together

Expert knitter Rachel Ong shows you how to sew the seams of a knitted garment together. All you need is a yarn, a yarn needle, and then sewing the seams together is easy when you do it the VideoJug way.


Step 1:

You will need

  • Two seams you wish to join
  • A length of yarn
  • A yarn needle

Step 2:

Preparation

Place the edges next to each other, rows matching each other, row for row.

Use pins to hold your knitted piece together.

Find the seams you will be joining and pin the seams together to hold them in place.

Measure enough yarn, roughly three times the length of the edge of the seam you wish to sew.

Step 3:

Sewing the seams together

Starting at one end, sew in a zigzag fashion through the knot of each row, alternating from edge to edge.

At the end of the seam, pull the work together so that it is firmly held but not too tight.
Finally, weave in all your ends to create a perfect finished piece.

    all they did was put the how to knit the ipod cover and just narrated it different. I guess it is ok for advanced, but for beginners, yuck.

    I would like to know if she put the right or wrong sides of the knit pieces together before sewing.

    would like to see a new version of this with a different color yarn AND a better view of the seam and how the stitching crosses over?

    This video is not useful at all.It doesn't explain how to begin and end the stiching.

    i also agree she should have used a different color yarn to illustrate how to sew the seams together

    would have been better if she used a different color just to illustrate how yarn should look like when its being sewn in.

    Not terribly explanatory
