Since you have a serger and machine knit, (and have the yarn) another finish that might interest you is using <a href="http://www.craftingfashion.com/2013/06/yarn-in-loopers.html" rel="nofollow">yarn in the loopers</a>. It takes a bit of tension adjustment but looks more finished that a regular serged edge. All the best!O.

You are quite unique! I also make knits with a machine (I have an SK8400) but don't do nearly enough of it. I find I need a good chunk of time to really get into it and I only ever get 2.5 hours while my youngest is in preschool. Unless I'm willing to forego sleep that is! I've been learning to machine sew my knits too. Lots of trial and error there. I'm especially intrigued by your stretchy bound seam finish. I've used my serger but it doesn't give the clean finish I would like. I will have to try your technique! And plan a larger seam allowance now that I think of it...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1133881954038008688.post-56583393232194156472014-11-03T08:33:24.440-05:002014-11-03T08:33:24.440-05:00Chuleenan, thank you!

I had no idea that this is your fourth blog. I really enjoy reading about your various sweater knit projects. Your blog is unique I don't think I've read about sweater knits anywhere else. I do hope to sew something in a sweater knit soon. I know my husband would really like me to make him something. But fitting something for him is a bit of a challenge. I might try something simple for myself first. ;) <br /><br />Your sweater knits look fabulous. I look forward to seeing the results of your vBp and being one of your customers. :)Chuleenanhttp://csews.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1133881954038008688.post-55139330578977682392014-11-01T10:46:45.234-04:002014-11-01T10:46:45.234-04:00Thanks so much, Sarah. :DThanks so much, Sarah. :DO.

Confidence well come sooner than you think. Enjoy!O.

And I'm glad I found you. I bought a couple yards of sweater knit fabric some months and have just now gotten around to wrapping my mind around making something with it. I'm a quilter and the thought of cutting into what feels like rather flimsy sweater knit fabric frightens me. I've been on your blog everyday for the past week and thanks to your tutorials on seams, finishes, and bindings I'm gonna take the plunge and start tonight working on either a kimono (ambitious), or slouchy sweater (more in my skill set) or simply a shawl (makes better sense as a first sweater knit project). Thanks and keep posting. the_shulammitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17287074430660308458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1133881954038008688.post-17078647710552679962014-10-29T17:58:12.625-04:002014-10-29T17:58:12.625-04:00Thanks for nominating me, Lori.

It turns out that many more people subscribe to my newsletter than to my blog. But readership of my popular posts are hundreds times more than my average, not thousands times more. (Oops! I had to correct that one. Lol) Mostly I like that when I can't remember how to do something, I can use the search feature! :-)<br /><br />I hope you do get around to sewing a sweater dress one day! Thank you. It would be lovely creating a fabric for you.O.

I love your blog and the fact that you are blogging about something so different compared to other sewing blogs. =)<br /><br />I bet you have more followers than you think (I follow through Feedly reader and it says there are 36 others following there). Most followers of any blog are the silent, non-commenting type.<br /><br />I have dreams of making a sweater dress someday since I've never found the right style/color/fit in stores. And when I finally decide on specific style and color, I will most likely be getting some custom knit fabric from you because your fabrics are beautiful! I look forward to your vBp too - coordinating fabrics would be wonderful!Brookehttp://customstyle.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
