SEAMING
Watch video for demonstration on how to seam the twist HERE
Lay fabric out flat with RS facing up. Fold each end towards the center of the fabric. Then fold one end in half and next, fold the other end in half. Slide the two folded ends together and even out the stitches. It should have four edges lined up. Using the long tail from above, thread it on the yarn needle and sew the four edges together.
End off yarn, weave in ends. Turn fabric RS out.

Here is how the back looks…no seams, just continuous pretty texture around.
