My first day consisted of short demonstrations of how to finish a garment, I spent it learning the many different ways one can sew in ends to accomplish i high standard finished garment. i have to say the needles, alice used really helped especially with all the different yarn weights and thickness.
I usually use a standard brother spare machine needle for this process however this is not always effective.
For those of you that are unaware of what i mean when i use the term 'sewing in ends'.
attached below a hand knitter demonstrating one method of sewing in ends.

I would recommend alice Palmer as a great designer to intern with as she is a good mentor, she teaches you at a reasonable pace and has you finishing multiple garments, quickly and to a high standard.
