I found this very helpful. But could you do a lesson on how to sew a seam that has stripes of two colours–as in a knit hat? That would be nice. Thanks.
Thanks so much for this video. Iv knitted clothes before and been very disappointed with the seam, they never looked right. I’ll definately try this method.
Thanks for saving the seams for my daughter’s legwarmers…..and a black of 80 squares I finished nearly a year ago and haven’t wanted to tackle due to seamingly unseamly seams…….
How would you stop the rest of the thread from travelling along the rest of the row either side of the cut area? I presume you would have to tie these.

No, this is fantastic, so clear and exactly what I was looking for.

Looks good, but poor instructional. Would have loved to see slow descriptions.

I don’t know if I’d be game to do this. Looks ok on the video. I think I’d have to try this on a swatch first!!!!!
