Obviously, a low-sew pattern means you only sew on a few pieces, but how many exactly? Because I think the least I could do is 1 to 4 pieces. But when is too many pieces unsuitable for a low-sew pattern?

I think there has been a conversation about this before, but can’t remember the concensus. I am curious too!

I feel like 2 os when its too many for low sew. But really it depends on the piece.

Honestly, I think it would depend not just on how many pieces but how complicated the sewing is. I say this because some pieces are simple to sew on and others not so much, then you have to ask if embroidery counts as sewing.

I never thought embroidery counted as sewing, because you technically don’t sew on anything—you just decorate it.

Personally, I feel it’s only really a low-sew if it has at least one/couple no-sew like elements. Such as crocheting pieces on as you go, or utilizing bobbles for feet/details/ect.then again, that’s just my own opinion, I could be absolutely wrong 
Oh, and obviously not sewing on like, additional 4+ (easy to sew) pieces probably

Bobbles and crocheting in pieces as you go don’t count as sewing. If a pattern only had these items, it would be considered no-sew. I think surface crocheting and crocheting on something also doesn’t count. 
Embroidering is embroidering and not considered sewing.
