Ved å sy sammen med maskesting. Hvordan vet man hvor lang trådende det skal være?

27.04.2024 - 08:55

DROPS Design :

Hei Lene. Ville ha prøv meg frem. Om du har en strikkeprøve som skal sys sammen, kan du ta en trådende som er ca 3 ganger så lang som det stykket du vil sy med maskesting. mvh DROPS Design

Tantissime grazie. Il video è chiaro, mi è stato molto utile per chiudere le spalline di un maglioncino. Il lavoro è riuscito bene nonostante io sia all'inizio nel cimentarmi nel lavoro a maglia.

I mönstret Rainbow Arch Cushion 0-1489 ska man sy ihop med maskstygn efter rundstickning. Måste jag då föra över maskorna på två raka stickor för att kunna sy ihop enligt videon? Jag hittar ingen video hur man gör det med rundstickor. Eller lägger man bara rundstickorna bredvid varandra och följer videon?

13.02.2021 - 09:38

DROPS Design :

Hei Anna. Du kan fint bruke rundpinner istedenfor rette pinner. Bare gjør som du skriver: Lägger rundstickorna bredvid varandra och följ videon. God Fornløyelse!
