In another post Candance stated "Another machine tip -- I often hand-knit all the pieces of a garment but use my machine to seam/assemble (esp. the sleeves to the body of the sweater). I get much better results doing that than I do trying to hand-sew them in."
I am very interested in this aspect of the machine. Has anyone done this, is it difficult? All comments welcomed because I have several projects that need to be sewn together and I just dread doing it.

I`m interested too! I`ve never heard that the knitting machines can do seaming. I think I might just spend the money on one for that reason alone!

I`m with you girls on that! That aspect of the machine immediately caught my eye. Too bad we can`t all get together for a crash course class in using this gizmo. Just think, we could knit like maniacs without the dreaded finishing construction. lol

I have 2 knitting machnes, a passap and a brother bulky, I am realatively new to machine knitting but I have never heard of putting a garment together using the knitting machine but you can buy a linker which is for that purpose. Maybe that is the machine they were talking about.I would love a linker. I hate sewing sweaters together. I am lucky my mom takes pity on me and sews sweaters together for me.

Hi Shelley,
What`s your mom`s address? I`ve got some stuff to send her. lol If you won`t give me her address, I hope this machine thing works out. ;-}

There were articles on this in a knitting magazine over the past year or two - I will check and see if I can find a reference (To using the machine to sew things together, lol, not sending things to Shelley`s mom!)

Hi!
She`s right-I think it was INKITTERS or Cast-on, but have to look/think about it. I remember the article.
