Introduction to Cut and Sew

Description

The Cut ‘n Sew method of shaping is very useful for machine knitters.
  • Don’t like to shape necklines? Use cut ‘n sew!
  • Knitting in pattern, or lace? Who wants to be shaping and doing hand manipulation at the same time? Use cut ‘n sew!
  • Prefer to knit yardage, then use a sewing pattern to create your garment? You are using cut ‘n sew!
  • The techniques shown can be used for other shaped edges as well. For example, match a shaped armhole to a cut ‘n sew armhole on a vest.
