I wish I could give you a big hug! For years I have struggled with sewing seams to the point where I would just dread making something that I would have to sew! Thank you for your video on sewing seams! I just sewed a mitten up and it came out perfect! Thanks again I am so great full!
Thank you so much! For the first time, I was working on a project at this phase, and got to put one of your lessons into practice. I was stalling, dreading sewing together this kimono sweater, and finally watched this video once more and dived in. It looks gorgeous! I can hardly tell the seam is there! I was getting weird looks (I was working on this at a Starbucks) because I kept grinning every time I took a new stitch and saw how amazingly professional it was looking. No more dread, no more trying to invent or improvise, and taking out the stitches 20 times. This is easy, and looks fantastic! Maybe I will be wearing my sweater before the next millennium, after all. Thanks so much for this great high -- I needed a reason to smile, and now I can't stop! :D
Thanks to you I have just sewn up the neatest seam I have ever done. Being a self taught knitter I have made lots of garments but never been confident sewing them up. Now I know that I can finish my projects off perfectly. Once again, thank you so much.
I still fumble with the first one, but the second stitch was so easy! I knitted my first sweater and the side seams already look absolutely flawless! 🥳🥳🥳 Thanks so much for your video
Finally! A video that finishes like my mum used to 😊 no lumpy seams. She finished beautifully and it looked easy (for her). I've always been dreadful at finishing my knitting, now you've given me the tools my mum used (and tried to teach me) many years ago, to do it neatly. Takes the dread out of knitting (almost 😅). Thank you, so happy to have found your video 😊😊
Thanks Val and you are so welcome. I'm glad it helps! Have you joined my email newsletter tribe over at cherylbrunette.com yet? If not, I hope you'll consider it. That's where I keep in closest touch with knitters and I give out a ton of good information.
I was dreading this part of knitting my sweater, but now I’m not. This is extremely well done. I especially like the tip about dividing the yarn in half. Your manner is calm and the presentation was well paced, clear, and thorough. I emailed this video to myself and flagged it for future reference. Thanks so much!
Thank you Cheryl for your tutorial; I have been knitting for so many years now but I love when I learn something new. I use the mattress stitch for seaming but never used the half stitch on the ribbed area 🙄 it just made so much sense I don't know how I didn't "get it" until I watched your video. Best wishes from Dublin, Ireland 👍
This is so much easier and faster in worsted weight or bulky yarn. I seamed up a sweater that was fingering yarn and it took a long time! Haha. But the seams were invisible and beautiful. Thanks for all your excellent and helpful videos.
Hello Cheryl, I’ve just found you, and am I happy. I’ve gone over the tips you have given, and I find you a wonderful teacher. Thank you for showing us the proper way to put our knitting together the proper way, and easier way.. i knit every day , been knitting over 65 years,, I’m so glad I learned, as it’s kept me sane trying to cope with the Covid. I’ve just subscribed. Bless you. ❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦
Thank you for this kind comment Christina. I don't know that my ways are "proper," as there are many ways to do a thing in knitting. However, they do yield a good result. I know what you mean about Covid and sanity. It's quite wonderful to have a meditative, useful thing to do while at home. I have knit a great deal for my family in the past year and it feels very good.
OMGOODNESS! I have looked at so many "mattress stitch" videos that I'm almost cross-eyed but with yours I FINALLY GOT IT! Your video makes perfect sense or me! Thank you so much for posting and sharing!!
I was thinking I'd have to go to the yarn store so they could show me how to do this. But you did such a nice job, it saved me a trip of about 30 minutes (one way!)! Thank you.
Great Linda! I always like to do my bit for saving time and fossil fuels. And thank you for this kind comment. I hope you'll come to cherylbrunette.com and join my email newsletter group if you haven't done so already. That's where I'm in closest touch with knitters.

Hi Cheryl, thank you ever so much.. your system is the best way of stitching it up..I'm at present busy stitching my fingerless gloves and it certainly is the best way, it's not noticeable at all. Thanks again.😊🌹🌺🌹
Hi Cheryl, I've watched your video a few times while working through a simple cardigan pattern; thank you for sharing. The most useful thing to learn was that I could use a different kind of yarn for seams. I've been working a mattress stitch seam and even though I'm not tugging hard or fast, the yarn tears when cinched. I'm going to try the embroidery floss.
I'm using the half stitch weave technique (forming the extra stitch) for the raglan seams of a raglan sweater and the seams look great. I used the normal weave stitch for every other seam, including the cuff ribbing, because I started with a purl and ended with a knit. So I have a totally invisible seam. Thanks for sharing this technique.
Yes, it IS so much easier in worsted or bulky yarn . . . but then so is everything. ;-) You're very welcome for the videos and I'm glad they've helped you.
I've been knitting for 60 years and now realise I have been wrongly sewing up the seams all that time! I always felt that my making up let down my garments. Now I know better! Thank you.
You are so welcome! It wasn't that you were doing it "wrong" as that you hadn't been exposed to this skill yet. It takes time and experience to put skills into your tool box. I still learn new things.

I loved your tutorial on how to seam a knit sweater. It was a great help. Could someone please tell me how to sew a garter stitched collar to a plain knit sweater.
Thanks . . . I'm glad it helped. Without seeing it I can't recommend anything, really, but because the seam under the collar will be hidden it doesn't have to be perfect.That said, I would probably start by folding it in half and the back of the neck in half and then pin the two pieces together there and ease out from that point.

Thanks so much for your informative video... I love to knit, but I dislike seaming so much, that I'll just let projects sit undone for ever lol! Maybe now it won't be so bad! Really like this!
Think of the satisfaction in finishing things. I love it. Have you joined my email newsletter group at cherylbrunette.com yet? If not, please join us. You'll learn a lot over time.
I love your videos! But I have a question...I'm knitting (by machine) an English Rib (Fisherman's knit) coat. Is there a particular (different) technique for this stitch, or is it the same as what you've done here? Thanks, again!
Hi Margo I want to think you for your tutorials and to say that you make me want to focus especially on finishing, It is sometimes difficult because I learned to knit from a book and essentially had no guidance from anyone. Your videos are so welcome because I am being introduced to new techniques, Will you please post more videes v-neck sweater cardigans and include the continuous band and joinging at the center. Thanks
Terry J Thanks for this suggestion Terry. It's a good one. I just oversaw the building of a new studio on my property (I'm actually doing a lot of the work myself like the trim and flooring) and moved out of my old one so it will be at least a month before I'm functional again, but I'll get to this eventually,

Love knitting, but the stitching part always was a nightmare! Thank you so much for this. Today I am going to stitch the two sweaters that was lying here. I so dreaded the stitching! Actually today, I am looking forward to it!
It should be, especially if you use a strong thread like embroidery floss, 4 to 6 strands. Using a strong, thin thread will also make for a less bulky seam.

Never cut it off where you end the seam. Leave a long tail and "work it in." There are different ways to do this but a common one is to run it back through the seam allowance so that it's basically invisible from the public side. Here's another way to work the yarn end in: ruclips.net/video/nbxzr7M9qKk/видео.html

@@CherylBrunetteTV I love to knit, but my body's says to put it aside for a while; wondering if this a common occurrence with knitters; I've only been knitting 3 years...
@@mymusic4714 I think it can be a problem as it can be with any repetitive action. You might check for exercises for knitters. Taking breaks and stretching your fingers/hands, rotating your wrists, rolling your shoulders, etc. Do something that gives you relief in the area of your body that is objecting. I recently had open heart surgery and was surprised that I couldn't comfortably knit for over 8 weeks because of the muscles that are engaged in my sternum area when I knit. I've just gone back to it but am still not able to knit for as long as I used to. This will heal. It just takes time.

You can block them with steam but depending on the fiber, be careful not to "kill" them. Acrylics can melt. It's the nature of stockinette to curl. It doesn't bother me to sew even with the curl. You can see my technique here. Just take one stitch at a time. Are you on my newsletter mailing list yet at cherylbrunette.com? If not, please join us.

Your videos are so welcome because I am being introduced to new techniques, Will you please post more videes v-neck sweater cardigans and include the continuous band and joinging at the center. Thanks
Terry J Thanks for this suggestion Terry. It's a good one. I just oversaw the building of a new studio on my property (I'm actually doing a lot of the work myself like the trim and flooring) and moved out of my old one so it will be at least a month before I'm functional again, but I'll get to this eventually,
Thank you, thank you!!
Thank you so much!

I finally know how to do it! Thank you so much :)
That was amazing. I've learned a lot (like how awful my finished seams are!) But no longer!!! Thank you.
Andi Kaufman Andi . . . it's just a matter of experience and learning a few pretty simple skills. I'm delighted your own seams will now be amazing!
Thank you for sharing this video, I've used it a few times. Very useful!

Love knitting, but the stitching part always was a nightmare! Thank you so much for this. Today I am going to stitch the two sweaters that was lying here. I so dreaded the stitching! Actually today, I am looking forward to it!
You absolutely rock!
Thank you Christine! And thanks for watching and commenting.
you are a good teacher
+Manel Theron Thank you Manel.
+Manel Theron The best knitting teacher on the web. I find it easy to just absorb what she says, with no effort.
yes indeed, you deserve it Mrs Cheryl
I’m sewing up a cardigan in super bulky yarn and I’m wondering if the half-stitch seam is strong enough for the sides? The pieces are in stockinette.
It should be, especially if you use a strong thread like embroidery floss, 4 to 6 strands. Using a strong, thin thread will also make for a less bulky seam.
@@CherylBrunetteTV how much thread should you use compared to the length of the seam? Twice the length?
I like to try different techniques for seaming. Thank you for your video. Helpful.

Lots of good information will come your way and it is where I stay in closer contact with knitters. I don't send out that many emails but the ones I do are more personal.
What to do with the rest of the string after seaming to my desired spot? Do I cut it ? What if it comes apart ? What to do?
Never cut it off where you end the seam. Leave a long tail and "work it in." There are different ways to do this but a common one is to run it back through the seam allowance so that it's basically invisible from the public side. Here's another way to work the yarn end in: ruclips.net/video/nbxzr7M9qKk/видео.html
These look terrific--thank you!!!

hi, very helpful video for new knitters....
I'm so glad this helped you Geetha. Thank you for watching and commenting.
I want to seam with a different color, but will that color show?
Not if you do it right. If someone tugs it apart you'll see it but not if it's in a relaxed state.
very very very goooooooooooood

@@CherylBrunetteTV I love to knit, but my body's says to put it aside for a while; wondering if this a common occurrence with knitters; I've only been knitting 3 years...
@@mymusic4714 I think it can be a problem as it can be with any repetitive action. You might check for exercises for knitters. Taking breaks and stretching your fingers/hands, rotating your wrists, rolling your shoulders, etc. Do something that gives you relief in the area of your body that is objecting. I recently had open heart surgery and was surprised that I couldn't comfortably knit for over 8 weeks because of the muscles that are engaged in my sternum area when I knit. I've just gone back to it but am still not able to knit for as long as I used to. This will heal. It just takes time.
@@CherylBrunetteTV thankyou :D
Hlo madam how can we finished our sweater without needle

Most welcome 😊

I am stalling on sewing the sleeves on to my kimono. because the edges are so curled in. how can i flatten it a little before i sew
You can block them with steam but depending on the fiber, be careful not to "kill" them. Acrylics can melt. It's the nature of stockinette to curl. It doesn't bother me to sew even with the curl. You can see my technique here. Just take one stitch at a time. Are you on my newsletter mailing list yet at cherylbrunette.com? If not, please join us.
Wow u remind me of how mother sewed
Thanks so much for this.
Hey Cheryl , how do you do ?
