Foundations and Finishing
You’ve worked hard to make your stitching skills the best they can be so you can produce FAB fabrics for your crochet and knitted projects. Now, it’s time to elevate your foundation and finishing skills to that same level.
There's no arguing the point that how a project starts and FAB finishing is the key to producing handmade projects that have that extra little something that makes them stand out from the crowd. In Foundations and Finishing, we will share with you the skills we've honed in the construction of our garments, accessories, and home décor.
We'll show you the foundation stitches that start all of our crochet projects and how to make a beautiful edge stitch that keeps everything nice and tidy. Next we dive deep into finishing process; from blocking to weaving in ends to flawless seaming... release the drudgery of finishing and make it a process just as enjoyable as the stitching. Your satisfaction will be overwhelming when you stand back and look at the flawless foundations and finishing techniques that make your project look like it was made by the hands of a pro!
