Is it better to sew or crochet granny squares together? ›

Either way makes a similarly sturdy join. With sewing you have to make sure you don't pull your stitches too tight and distort your blocks. Both options will leave the same amount of tails if you stop and end your seams in the same places. It's largely personal preference.
