How to Seam: Set-in Sleeve

How to sew a set-in sleeve

[@elphbwckd212]

I've watched a dozen different videos and this one is by far the best! Very clear direction and visuals presented in a way that even a first time sweater maker like me can follow along! You're a life saver!

[@christianekussner1212]

Thats what my experience is! Same here!

[@genevieveesquivie889]

After decades of unsuccessfully stitching my sweaters and hats and any kind of knitting projects, FINALLY thanks to Google and KZbin, I did it without swearing or undoing my stitching a million times ! Thank you so much for your cleverness !

[@barbaracatarinebrinkmann8769]

Sewing is not my favorite hobby...the reason why I procrastinate for weeks before I finalize my knitwork! Now with this excellent instructions I got it fixed. Thanks a lot for your help!

[@dichilds64]

The last time I sewed in a sleeve or did any seams was about 30 years ago. Knitting things all-in-one is so much easier.

[@yoyou3848]

Truth

[@jeanhooson2933]

Finally I can understand how to get a sleeve in that looks right I have tried and tried , this video is slow and shows very plainly how to do it , when not very experienced it makes it easy to understand thank you very much

[@vlw4165]

So pleased to have found this tutorial. I've been doing this wrong for years, apparently! I can also see I need to improve my selvedge methods, as well, so there are no gappy bits when I pick up the little bars.

[@karinberryman7970]

You've almost saved my skin! I promised my son I'd had his sweater ready this weekend, and have been flummoxed re sewing the horizontal piece to the sleeve. Now I can get thru this hurdle, thousand thanks!

[@Idaandd]

This is the best and easiest method i've tried so far! Thank you!! 🙏🙏

[@injoycards]

okay! This was very helpful-but I think it was due to your calmness! Thank you my dear for being so clear. Seriously! x x x x

[@karenkhan9638]

I was clueless and made a mess when trying to sew seams until I watched your video . Easy to understand and hopefully I can now sew my sleeves better . Thanks alot straight to the point

[@janiceboychuk4041]

Excellent tutorial! Great tip on splitting yarn in half, and appreciate knowing length of yarn to use.

[@SharonCullenArt]

I cannot tell you how many beautiful sweaters I have messed up with bad seaming. I wish I had seen this years ago. I’m now just getting back into knitting and watched this and actually yelled “Ooooooh! Wow!” 🤦‍♀️

[@sandrajump1937]

This is the best video I have seen for setting-in sleeves. Your explanations are thorough and anticipate the viewers' questions. The results are very professional looking. Thank you. Keep up the great work!

[@jacquelinedianati404]

Thank you for this video. I have tried many ways without getting good result. This is perfect.

[@francoisemcdermott6725]

You taught me oodles in one video and 'saved' my life! Thank you! 😊

[@jillmurray1645]

This was a huge help for a task I dread with each sweater.

[@mailecat61]

Beautiful & inspiring technique! I can hardly wait to seam sleeves to my cardigan tomorrow after work!!

[@trish3580]

Gorgeous! Excellent tutorial! Thank you so much! If you see this could you tell me about the neck and button bands please. I have seen differing instructions about when to add them on and I'm not working from a published pattern ...in fact two similar patterns advise 2 different ways. Crossing my fingers you will see this. thanks

[@Nicole-pp1bn]

This was soooooo helpful!!! I am a visual learner and finally found a video that was extremely helpful. Thank you

[@PoetryPrincess76]

the best way to show me how to do it ... thank you ... very helpful and very clear for beginners like me ..

[@christianekussner1212]

You explain extremly good thank you from the heart ✨🙏✨

[@jeanhooson2933]

I did sew up a jumper I had knitted I am left handed an my hands shake it’s a complete mess the sewing up and just kept going I can not understand why so I am trying to get it all unpicked , nightmare but as I said in my last comment I did try doing the seam on one of the sleeves that I had unpicked and even though I had pulled the knitting quite a bit , it look s really good so now busy pulling all the rest of my mess out and that could take a long time but , I do hope your channel won’t go off now I have got it you are so concise and easy to understand thanks again Jean uk

[@pramilatyagi8579]

Very helpful . Seaming the sleeves was my weak area After watching this video I have become confident & hopefully will overcome my shortcomings . Thanks a lot for the very clear instructions .

[@davidmichaelpascucci]

Excellent tutorial!! My sleeves look fantastic using this method and your explanation and demonstration was perfect.

[@lovemrj4ever]

Beautifully explained and demonstrated! I love how you began at the center of the shoulder and worked each side separately, with the same yarn. Brilliant! Thank you, PatonsYarns! This is in my Favorites now!

[@hilishai]

I love the way you explained this difficult step.thanks

[@fung-kinglee2800]

Thank you for the clear demonstration and explanations 🌷🌷🌷

[@Catra7]

Oh, my gosh! I've been doing it wrong for years, just kind of doing it blindly with unpredictable results. This makes so much sense and is so clear. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!

[@stephaniemullican7930]

Such clear directions! I just set in my very first sleeves and they look fantastic- thank you!

[@EviMlcak]

With this method, they turn out so professional looking and beautiful. I'm back again because I'm sewing a set-in sleeve and forgotten what length of yarn to use. Little things one can forget easily. I thought all this time it was double the length, oops.

[@tiffanycobbs158]

Great quality stitching on the sweater beautiful work ❤️❤️❤️☺️☺️☺️

[@ritaschmidt7818]

Thank you fort this video! I come from Germany and searched a long time to find out how to do but I din'd found anything similar in german videos! Now I know how to sew. Thanks a lot!!

[@judithbrierley2020]

Thank you for your very helpful video. Very clear & easy to follow. Just what I needed in these covid19 times when you can't ask someone to show you. Much appreciated

[@saeidehnessarali]

Thanks. I just wonder how you get edges so clean I can never get. Do you have a video on the edges. Thank you in advance

[@SuzanColon]

I was doing this for the first time and found it so vexing I'd booked time with a teacher. Then I found this video and managed to set the seams in myself! Awesome tutorial, beautifully shot and explained. Thank you so much! Now I have more money for yarn... :)

[@jeangardiner5277]

Always shied away from set in sleeves, Always gone for raglan. This tutorial makes it seems so sensible Thank you

[@sucathwa8000]

Excellent instructional video. Many thanks. This has changed my whole way of finishing.

[@Atlaslevy_com]

this company is the best to help all the time and they did a lot of stuff for me and I'm sure they do for the other thank you very much for your best support anytime I call best company ever

[@allisondk1321]

Thank you for this clear and informative video. I am joing sleeves on a mohair sweater, and this method works well.

[@cynthiah1298]

Thank you so much! This is the best video I have found for setting in sleeves.

[@sabihalatafat9433]

I love this video it's very clear and easy to understand. Thanks for sharing💖

[@jackiereynolds5424]

Thank you so much for this. It is so clear and well explained. I've been struggling to do this for decades and now it's so obvious!😂❤️

[@pennywithers2095]

Thank you. Just the information I was searching for.

[@rachydivanerd]

Thanks ever so much for this video. Great tips and tricks, easy to follow (even from memory!) and produces the perfect result. Couldn't be more proud of my work - or more grateful for this video tutorial!

[@carolemaharaj8837]

[@charlenespierer7914]

Great video and tip! Very easy to follow. Thank you so much!

[@vioricaursache2831]

Foarte bine explicat !Frumos video !Multumesc !

[@ojtopntai]

Very good instructions, I will be ready to start on my set in sleeve

[@Painter931]

What is the name of your yarn for this project? It looks beautiful and smooth.

[@janenewman8738]

Thank you! Very well explained! 😀

[@pjrichard53]

This is a great video. I have many finishing books and none of them explain this technique as well.

[@Nyknits]

I'm seaming my first sweater and this is so very helpful. Thank you.

[@RL-sg6ne]

A great video, explained in such an understandable manner. Thanks so much!

[@ahtramnosknab]

I tried this several times without much luck, until I noticed the firm surface underneath the work. Voila! Now the pieces stay in place, and I can see where to put the stitches. This is a great video once I got set up properly!

[@michaelinereed3946]

this is an excellent video. I have looked at several on this topic and this one is the best. It is clear both visually as well as the instructions given. I found it to be very, very helpful!

[@detub6705]

Thank you for the perfect tutorial. The video and the sound are very clear. It's easy to understand. You are great.

[@deborahloisjoy99]

Thank you so much, I have never seen this done by a professional before, clear, easy to follow instructions, will improve my sweater finishing!

[@wolffowna]

Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge! I had problems with seaming my first sweater and this made it all simple! :)

[@lonitrappmann3255]

Bitte auf Deutsc

[@Joanne57Maree]

Thank you, I appreciate your clear instructions!

[@pfarmer7589]

Thank you, so clear both in visuals and explanation

[@genista2001]

Would have been good to see how you have done the right side of the sleeve as your stitches are travelling in the opposite direction to the first instructions. Do you turn your work to the wrong side or do you start at the armhole and work your way to the sleeve head?

[@madamedemonsieur]

Thank you for such a clear explanation, this is very helpful!

[@katharinakirsch6433]

Thank you so very much! I did not knew that it can be so easy......

[@claremoriarty9104]

Wow, that's a nice, neat seam

[@tatianasynytsa3879]

great way to sew the thing! Nice to watch your work process. As to the practical question I have - I m knitting the thing for a child and it says in there " Sew upper arm seams with duplicate sts from RS". Looks like a specific way of sewing. Do you know that one?

[@bikrgran]

Isn't there some way to get around that squared off top? It always seems to look weird. Thanks. This is GREAT!

[@maryrose8057]

This is a great tutorial. Many thanks.

[@grandma.p]

Good Day! I'm about to sew in a set in sleeve. It is striped, so I'm wondering if I should change colors of the seaming yarn for each stripe. Is the yarn used to seam likely to show at all?

[@nirmalajamuda5991]

Wow😲 very nice man 👌👍, Thanks🙏❤

[@janasrinath]

Wonderfully neat! Great video, thank you so much. It was crystal clear and I found it just in time to seam my just knit cardigan perfectly!

[@annieyoung4]

Very well demonstrated and I love how your yarn matches your nails. ;)

[@jeansorbera3133]

Thank you so much, I'm self taught so my finishing is a little complicated for me. This was great!

[@thedoodlingengineer]

the edges of your sleeve look different, how did you finish the curved edges or how did you shape the sleeves? Can you help. it looks very pretty. While stitching the maroon thread hardly shows on the front side.

[@reidunbakkenskodje9828]

Thank you this was a very smart way to do it and that even if I have coating on the sleeves.

[@marialuis3101]

Excellent!! Thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@lynanut]

Hi Paton Yarns,Just finished my jumper with Ribs 'n' Cables for Men from Patons Patteen. Could you please show me how to sew or joining sleeves into a saddle-shouldered garment jumper please.

[@s.canella7711]

Thank you so much for this video.

[@wubwubs]

Thank you so much! I was losing my mind trying to seam up a sweater. This was a really helpful tutorial ♡

[@Nancytoday]

Thank you so much! I have botched so many sleeves to sweaters that I just never make those kinds anymore!

[@mariepedrigalnilusleclerc36]

I look has did can mystery is make knit machines.

[@brittgarn2200]

Excellent video - thank you - you saved the day!

[@rebeccahr1]

Thank you so much for your guidance .. Greatly appreciated. :)

[@sabihalatafat9433]

This is an excellent video.

[@darkvalkyrie5366]

Thank you for this amazing tutorial 💛✨

[@jackiesinger8466]

This video was great! I learned a few new things. Thank you so much.

[@lisamont8182]

Very well done Thank you

[@Elentarien]

Wonderful tutorial. Thank you so much. Doing my first sweater and I was as bit baffled on how to do this part. Fairly simple now I know what I'm looking at! :D

[@francescolosurdo4228]

Perche non sono in Italiano

[@Bilbostar0710]

Great video, thank you. Looking forward to finishing my Baby Cardigans now!!!

[@majramelone5120]

thank you. but how you knitt a sleev ? I can' do it, i'm a begginer

[@mandybarnett9239]

Try an easy knit pattern to begin with. Good luck

[@MilknHoneyHomestead]

What kind of yarn did you use for your sweater?

[@marinazagrai1623]

I've only seen the mattress st for attaching sleeves, so this is actually a much nicer/easier way to do this.

[@kaggy1955]

Thank you, you have made that look so much easier. and such a lovely finish.

[@Delbakhteh]

I have a question. How did you knit the edge of sleeve caps? That looks two columns of crochet or is that simple knitting?

[@fe4472]

It's just what happens when you decrease stitches in stockinette.

[@Delbakhteh]

@@fe4472 it does not happens to me when I decrease. I hope someone could show us the cap decreasing

[@fe4472]

@@Delbakhteh Search up "LKC sleeve top shaping" on KZbin. That's how I do it and I get these double edge rows. But basically, when I decrease 2 stitches at each end of a row (so 1 at the beginning, 1 at the end), this is how I do it: Knit the first 2 stitches as normal, slip the 3rd stitch, knit the 4th and then slip the 3rd stitch over the 4th off the needle. Continue as normal to the end of the row until there are 4 stitches remaining on the left needle. Then knit 2 stitches together and the final two stitches knit as normal. Exact same with purl rows.

[@OlObuffalo]

Excellent tute!

[@carla195912]

Good instruction and easy to follow. Thank you.

[@CHICHISWEETS]

I used this to join 2 pieces of a poncho together. Thank you!

[@JULESBUMSTEAD]

awesome thank you. but i have a question. how do you stop the shoulder part of the sleeve from rolling over once sewn in ? i made a massive mistake and wonce id sewn my sleeve in stupidly pressed the seam and have now ruined myb jumper as its flaatened the wool and look terrible

[@Mspuddin67]

Good video. I would have liked to seen a couple of stitches sewn from the other side of the top marker. I know they are the same stitches, but it would have been nice to see orientation on where (or how) to insert the needle coming from the other end.

[@chandandeepsingh8848]

Kim Clark

[@marinazagrai1623]

Turn your project so it looks just like the first half of the sleeve and you should be fine.

[@rachele874]

Perfect !!!! Thank you from Italy 😍

[@margaretwood7135]

Doesn't say which way to sew the right side seam, do you turn the knitting?

[@NorahsYarnArt]

This was great even with a contrasting color! Thanks for sharing this :)

[@TeardeRetalhos]

Sua costura ficou muito bem feita, parabéns, adorei! Obrigada.
