hi friends!! i had a question come up during the testing of my latest pattern, and i was curious to see what the community thought!
my cauldron pop-it pattern is no-sew, so all of the pieces are either made together or crocheted directly onto the other pieces. one of my testers (not sure if they want to be tagged or not and get a bunch more notifications, but if so, i’ll edit the post! ) found it easier to crochet the spider legs separately and then attach them afterward by leaving a long tail and pulling the yarn tails through the body and tying them to secure them, so it technically isn’t sewing them on, but i always thought that a pattern was considered low-sew if any of the pieces were made separately and then attached later, whether a darning needle/sewing needle was used or not.
so, i thought i’d make a poll to see what the community thinks! im definitely going to be including the tester’s feedback into the pattern as separate instructions (with credit, of course), as i know that crocheting directly onto a small plushie can be more difficult for some people, but i just wanted to see if you guys still considered this no-sew or if it’s low-sew! of course, i don’t think anyone is wrong in their opinion on this and it isn’t a big deal at all, i just was curious if i could still list the pattern as no-sew with these instructions as well without it coming across as misleading/false information.
i’d also love to hear your thoughts in the comments, since i feel like every crocheter might have a different definition of no-sew, low-sew, and high-sew! (also if the poll shows up broken, i’ll try to edit it to fix it )
if pieces of a pattern (such as spider legs) are made separately and attached later, just by pulling the yarn ends through the plushie body and tying them, is it considered no-sew or low-sew?
I also have a question quite similar, but what if the piece is already crocheted on, instead pulling the starting tail through the main piece to pin it down. is that considered no-sew?!
