I LOVE "tight isn't perfect, tight is just tight". I think those are words to live by in many situations! :)

[@pattigolden1]

I've always hated seaming & avoid it at all costs.... But this is a better tutorial than I've ever seen in the past!! Makes sense doing it on the RIGHT side!

[@robertecaissie4008]

Your a great teacher . I enjoy listening to your videos .

[@danitshmueli5006]

Best and most clear instructions are given by you, Stephen, thanks

[@katywuste9054]

Thank you for such a comprehensive video. I’ve learned loads 😊

[@marianneknapp4846]

Yours looks so perfect 😊

[@jerilynboos8889]

Excellent tutorial. I have wondered what the mattress stitch is. I am a beginner knitter. Knitting takes time and skill. It is good to know how to finish it beautifully.

[@gabrielacanova4625]

Thank you for sharing!!! I already use the technique but your video has got some new tips for me too. ❤️

[@suyapajimenez516]

It’s a good technique I learned it from my mom. But what I like the most in this presentation is the crochet work, all those stitches together…let’s knit it.

❓If I’m left handed should I start on the left side of the fabric❓I get confused watching righted handed sewers

[@StephenWest]

Yes, you could start on the left side of the fabric. The most important thing is that you insert the needle in the side of the fabric facing you

[@mareewebb4086]

Can the mattress stitch be used to join seams of tunisian stitches or crochet pieces?

[@StephenWest]

Yes! I think that would work very well.

[@anitajohannadrost]

👍😁🍀dank je wel.

[@patchwork9712]

What stitch have you done on each edge please? Slipped, knitted, purled? Does it make a difference when you come to mattress stitch the seam? Tks.

[@StephenWest]

I did a long tail cast on and a regular knitted bind off. If you have a slipped stitch edge then it should work fine as well.

[@patchwork9712]

@@StephenWest Tks, that’s what I do but have heard people say you have to slip the first st of rows if you want to mattress stitch. Great tutorials tks.
