That's perfect. I'm doing my first steek. I was wondering whether to pick up before cutting and this confirms my thoughts. But also the tip about picking up both sides of the stitch to make the cut steek sit flatter is so helpful.
So glad I found this. I have been looking and looking for information on how to do this. Most videos on steeks just say now pick up stitches for button band or edge and leave it at that.
