    Proper Post Stitch Placement - Working in Rows & Rounds

    Feb 27, 2017 by Jennifer Renaud

    When working a project in the round or in a row, have you ever found yourself asking, "Where do I work the next post stitch?" If so, then then keep on reading!

    One of the most common questions I receive about working post stitches is: "How do I know that I'm working the next post stitch around the correct stitch?". So, I decided to put together a video tutorial for proper post stitch placement in rounds and in rows.
