Yeah, I can only imagine the amount of time saving no sew projects give you 
But yeah, the resulting esthetics are totally different

Yeah like I said I usually charge less for them bc of the aesthetic but I have noticed I love doing low-sew patterns!

Omgosh! Donāt go away! Please!
The no sew is for people who donāt know how to sew. I wish I had seen your patterns 2 years ago,?I would have gobbled up all your patterns with sewing instructions!!
Iāve figured out how to sew on stuff now in my own way that works well. .

I personally prefer no-sew because Iām a bit of a perfectionist and it takes me awhile to sew on pieces (I often end up redoing them a few times to get things exactly symmetrical, which is annoying). Itās also easier to reproduce the exact same results with no-sew patterns. However I think the majority of people donāt particularly mind sewing, so there is definitely an audience for both.

uh sorry i wouldnāt say āno sewā is for people who donāt know how to sewā¦ it can be more convenient for people especially ppl who need a lot of stock in a short period of time. i make plenty of no sew patterns, i wouldnāt say theyāre beginner friendly. and i also test lots of complex patterns that involve a fair chunk of sewing so i know how to sew.
sewing or no sew is a preference. everyoneās allowed to have their own preferences, i like no sew simply because it means the pattern is somewhat small and quick to finish so i can make more. i lose interest in a pattern if its too big or if i take too long making it, thatās a me thing.

I think sometimes itās nice to have a quick project without any assembly. For me the biggest issue is keeping up with pieces Iāve already made 
Iām trying to post more no sew patterns because a lot of people seem to like/prefer them.

A few days ago my gf said she admires me that I make projects with multiple elements to sew not because this is āhardā (she mastered sewing and making her own cosplays) but because she got bored very easily when she has to make like 8 different small pieces with magic rings and every tiny piece she has to sew it on.
Tldr: Sewing patterns are time consuming and āboringā - in that sense you have to make 29293 magic circles and inside you are doing the same and the same

I understand where youāre coming from, Iām a perfectionist too I often found myself undoing sewing so many times that my thread would break and Iād have to use a new one to sew instead 
but with time and experience I think I do it less often thankfully
Thank you for your input

I think yeah it really boils down to personal preference and context often weāre all so different after all

Yes, I think Iād enjoy them too once in a while especially when you have cats who misplace your little bits and pieces because theyāve been playing with them 
I think itās really kind of you to try to adapt to your audience I could try to design no sew patterns too someday, like chibi versions of the ones I already made maybe?

I understand where sheās coming from, I sometimes (weirdly) donāt enjoy too much repetition and need new techniques and stuff like for instance I wouldāt have the patience to make several jellyfish amigurumi or something theyāre awfully cute, but the little legs are too much for me, Iād have to switch between projects to be okay with it Thank you for your input

And that is totally your right I think that if I didnāt like details so much Iād be the same too

personally, I make my patterns involve minimum sewing because Iām just lazy. I also do this because I donāt have the resources to make a detailed video on how to sew on limbs etc.
When it comes to using patterns someone else has made, I generally am not deterred by having to sew things on. But I usually only make smaller things, that involve less sewing anyway.
I think making a pattern have minimum sewing is always handy because itās just overall less stress. But having to sew things on is completely fine.

I totally get your point I also feel lazy sometimes I made a shortcut where instead of having to film every individual pattern sewing portion, I instead created different sewing methods and instruct people which one to use during the assembly, along with detailed pictures to help. I think itās a win
But overall, smaller projects are definitely quicker and less stressful indeed

I feel like its more for people who dont like sewing.
I personally think no sew is wayyyy easier and faster, but ive seen a lot of beginners say its too hard. Maybe they arent familiar with crocheting pieces together and bobbles and stuff?
I used to hate sewing pieces together, but i learned how to sew pieces better and dont mind it as much. Also i find it easier to sew before you stuff and close the main body, so realizing that made me like it better too.
I still prefer nosew by a lot tho lol

Itās amazing to see the different experience people have about no sew Maybe the beginner crochetersās struggle with no sew stemmed from a lack of confidence that is common among beginners? it could explain a lot
Yeaaah I used to hate it tooo Itās true that keeping the stuffing out of the way helps in so many ways
