I see a lot of people saying they want no-sew amigurumi projects. Most say they donāt like sewing pieces on. I am curious why that is.
Is it just the process of it. Like you canāt get them on solid enough. If so, a video could be added to show you how. Like, my tips.
Or is it the placement issue. That could be specified within the pattern, if that is the case.
I like no-sew myself, but am ok with sewing pieces on too. How about you?
I love no sew but Iām not opposed to sewing, whenever I sew it, it always ends up missplaced even when I pin it down and thereās some with a lot of pieces to sew and itāll take some time to sew it all together with a chance of me losing the piece lol 
I personally find it hard because of the placement, as I sew the piece moves, Iāve tried everything and it still happens, I also donāt know how to exactly do it, like where to insert the needle first, but patterns that include a video of the sewing process do help
I dont mind sewing, I never really ālikedā sewing. The pieces end up wonky or not how I like them. Then that kind of makes it to where I dont like the finished product. I love no sew patterns, but all the patterns in my shop are ones you have to sew together. Because they are mostly plants, and I love how they come out with all the sewing. No sew patterns are great, Iām currently working on a few patterns for my shop right now. Will they be no sew, probably not. They dont always turn out wonky, some even turn out great. It really just depends on how much sewing there is. Have a nice rest of your day! 
For me itās two things, one is the placement. Even if I pin it first, it always seems to move during the sewing process. Two is that all the pieces that need to be attached seem to be so small and it hurts my fingers to try to hold a tiny little thing while crocheting.
Iāll of course keep practicing my sewing skills for the sake of adorable patterns but itās far from my favorite thing to do.
A lot of the amigurumi projects I decide to make require sewing and Iām ok with it. Iāve never been able to get the hang of pinning so I mostly take things slow to make sure everything is lining up right. I try pinning sometimes but itās frustrating when they keep popping out.
itās really tedious and there isnāt a lot of room for error. if you mess up the placement you have to find where you hid the end and take forever to pull out the string or risk and cut it but then you could cut your actually thing. especially with heads and stuff the placement is really important or else itās lopsided so you have to get it perfect
I honestly donāt know why people donāt like sewing but then againā¦I am a seamstress so Iām severely biased. I havenāt had a problem with pieces being eneven but I think thatās just experience, I love how you can decide exactly how your piece looks with choosing your own placement. What has been helpful for getting the placement to look like the patterns Iām following is when they say what row and how stitches apart to attach, its a great starting point!
yes, that should always be there, I think.
I do not like sewing at all. 
I do not find it relaxing. My mom sews and she has tried to teach me but I just donāt enjoy it. 
Some people show up at momās with laundryā¦not me. I showed up with mending. Not even a button. A lot of my WIPs are clothing that do not have buttons sewn on yet No No No No No and a a Hell to the No
basically just a repetition of what everyone else is saying ā but when i have my pieces pinned on, theyāre perfect. during and after sewingā¦ not so much. these hands were made to create AND destroy.
I personally donāt make ami, but I still prefer no-sew projectsā¦ my reason is no matter how detailed the instructions, mine never turns out quite right and being a perfectionist, it bugs meā¦ (Iāll do some sewing on garments, but even that I would prefer not as I just donāt enjoy it)
It does sometimes take me several tries to get it just right. Iāve learned not to weave the ends in until I show someone else. 
Also, I never start this part of the project late in the day. Fresh eyes, and well rested, work the best for me.
The only thing I donāt like about sewing is when Iām already done sewing something on and itās crooked if that makes sense
Thatās a big part of mine, but no matter what I do I just canāt seem to get it perfect
Its a completely different feeling than crocheting. It kinda ruins the flow imo since you take a break to do something completely different to what you sat down to do.
Tho i guess embroidering is the same, but it doesnt bother me as much for some reason. idk sewing just feels like it slows me down. I wanted to crochet but i cant continue what i want till i do something i dont want, so i just donāt do it. I have loads of wips that are just body parts laying around. If i do a no-sew i know i can possibly do it in 1 sitting, and i will still be in the flow so i can even start another project and not feel like i lost my focus. If the last step is to sew, it just feels like i hit a wall, and if i start sewing i wont feel like doing more crafts today, so i put it down and start another project to keep the flow going, but then i never go back to the sewing one.
Ive been trying to work on it tho, like i finished a little tree stump that needed a lot of sewing. Also Iāve worked on high sew projects before, like complicated knotās roly poly, and it ended up being one of my favorites.
I also like that itās more clear what to do when you just crochet. A lot of my hobbies are clear like that. Crochet u follow the stitch, crossstitch and diamond painting you follow the grid. Sewing is more free form, i need to be in the right headspace for something like that
Also sorry for the long message lol
With the eyes on my dolls, I put stitch markers on the edges, so I canāt go too low (usually the problem for me)
no worries, I asked for it
I actually saw a tip on this issue a while back. Instead of using pins try attaching the two parts with stitch markers! They lock so they wonāt fall off and you can get the placement right without sticking yourself!
