I use set-in sleeves a lot, and I like to put them in by hanging the armhole and then knitting the sleeve downward with short-rows. That's a really easy way to get a smooth, good-looking seam in a set-in sleeve. I also hand-sew them, and for that, it's necessary to plan where to ease the sleeve, as it will have a little more fabric than the armhole.

beautiful work.  Do you consider this easier than seaming a set in sleeve?

wow, you just showed me the importance to patience while seaming pieces together! Thank you. They all came out very beautifully. Normally, i'd quickly rush through my seams with a crochet slip stitch, which comes out rather bulky and messy compared to this!!! Or I result to knitting in the round simply to avoid seaming pieces together. But, you've made seaming look so beautiful! QUALITY QUALITY!! Thanks for the upload!

Thank you for such a great video.  You not only made it look easy to sew those seams, it was easy.
