I have steeked using crochet and the sewing machine - both successfully. The problem with using the sewing machine is that the thickness of the yarn causes the machine to feed improperly. To avoid this, you can place a piece of tissue paper under the garment as you stitch it. That way the fabric feeds easily into the machine. If you use a "toothy" yarn, you shouldn't have to worry about the yarn unraveling - you'd be surprised at how it does stick!

I steeked for the first time ever last sping. I did it succesfully with superwash yarn. It was my first time steeking. I didn't use crochet because that doesn't really reinforce. The other option I knew was to sew over the steek. But I don't own a sewing machine. And I was worried about the lack of stretch in a sewn steek. My solution: I felted the steek stitches with a felting needle, to make sure those stitches wouldn't go anywhere. It worked like a charm. After cutting I carefully stitched down the steek with the same yarn I knitted with. Still very proud of it. My next steeking project will be a cardigan in a cotton/wool blend. I will use the same felting technique to make sure it doesn't unravel at the steek.
