This two hour hands-on intensive workshop will walk you through these techniques and have you on your way to a flawlessly assembled garment. We’ll also talk about steps to take to make seaming easier, plus blocking basics. Extra time will be available at the end of class for those who want to continue practicing and enjoying the delights of mattress stitch.
Materials Needed: A yarn needle, some smooth worsted weight yarn, split ring or locking stitch markers, and the four swatches indicated below. Also, if you have it, we can work on an already knitted garment that needs assembly. You may also wish to bring a notebook and pen for taking notes.
