The decision making process was not an easy one. Each judge had favorites. In fact, once the judges agreed upon the three seams they felt best met the criteria for an extended seam, they asked if we could also add a Judge's Choice category.

| Entry 15 |
Diana's seam was selected for 1st place.
 |
| Entry 7 |
Carol's seam was selected for 2nd place.
 |
| Entry 2 |
Janet's seam was selected for 3rd place.
 |
| Entry 8 |
Kathy chose Entry 8 by Nina and she said, "This is the seam that I wish that I had stitched."
 |
| Entry 19 |
Jo chose Entry 19 by Margreet. She liked the traditional treatment, multiple layers, thread types and colours, the beads, that it extended onto both sides of the seam, and added it was "just my style."
