OmG!! How fantastic is this tutorial!! I was really struggling on seaming up to a point of disliking my hobby, NOW I’m totally ecstatic!!! Thank you 1,000,000,000 times over xxxxx

This is the only mattress stitch video that has madd any sense to me! Thankyou so much. My seaming life has just become so much nicer! ❤

I have to tell you, this is the only mattress stitch tutorial that actually worked for me, after I tried many, many versions. This was the only one that actually lay flat and looked natural. Thanks so much!! 😍

this is the most amazing tutorial i was literally crying while trying to figure out how to do a mattress stitch, thank you so much!!!!

I’m so happy I came across your video. It is the best tutorial yet and totally simplified. Thank you so much

AT LAST! I found your video and easy to understand how to sew in between the loops! I've usually done back stitch but will try this way. THANKYOU FOR THIS!

Thank you. This is the best tutorial I’ve seen for mattress stitch. So helpful!

Thank you for this video. I am making a knitted patchwork blanket and this is my first ever knitted project! So this is the first time that I am sewing pieces together. Your video is the first video that has shown how to do this in really simple to follow steps! Thanks so much! ❤

Thanks for the demo 😄 I think this is called the Half Stitch Weave. Perfect for joining 1x1 ribbing too because the rib pattern continues without interruption.

Thank you soooo much for this video! I’ve tried off and on for years to learn mattress stitch and always got frustrated and quit. This technique is so clear and easy to keep your place. I’ll be using this a lot. Thanks again.

This makes complete sense, I’ve never been able to master this stitch I’ve found it complicated looking at other videos but is so much better 👌

Thank you so much for your very educational tutorial! I'm not very good at sewing but I think I might be able to manage this stitch now! 💖💖💖

Today, I finally plucked up the courage to seam without a crochet hook. This is downright exciting, much better looking and easier than I expected. My heartfelt thanks, Diana!

Love the Grandfather clock heard chiming in the background! And nice tip too! Can't wait to try it.

Great video - thanks so much. You are a very patient teacher and explain the steps so well. Cheers.

Great ... and a definite to-do the next time! Thank you for sharing what you also learned. Paying it forward is a very good thing!

Thank you so much for such an easy well shown tutorial. I’m just about to put my first jumper together and it’s so much clearer now that I know what to do. 😊

Thank you so much for this great tutorial! Have wondered how to do a flatter seam for my baby sweaters. This way works great!

Thank you for teaching me this. Now I can confidently sew up my first baby jumper project. Awesome👌

This works so beautifully. Thank you for sharing this great method, it improved my seaming instantaneously!

Thank you so much for this video. I have used your seaming method to great advantage sewing up double knit squares to make a blanket.

I love this! Just used it to join the seams on a poncho I am knitting for my 4yo granddaughter.

Thank you very much Diana for sharing your technique, it works and looks amazing. xx

Thanks for this clear, easy to follow video. I'm never happy with how I seam garment, and my knit group were talking about mattress stitch and how much better it is. Thanks. I think I can do it. I have a cowl to stitch up so that will be my first to ry. Again, thanks

That seam looks so nice, thank you!

Thank you for this tip! This will come in especially handy for the sleeve on the sweater I am knitting for my mom as I did not want it to feel too bulky underneath.

Very well explained. I had some questions regarding this but you showed the answers so clearly. Thank you!

Thank you miss. I've seen so many videos on UKposts but yours is by far the best. Really detailed and thorough

Thank you for your easy-to-understand video!

Thank you so much for this useful and attractive short-cut. Very good with the close-up video and your confident, relaxed explanations.

Beautiful work. I love knitting, but dislike sewing up my work ... but not anymore 😉. Thank you for this very clear tutorial💗

Thank you and Lovely voice

She makes it seem so easy!!

Thank you very much for this video! You explained everything so simply and concisely, that it was easy for me to understand. I can't wait to use this on my next project!

I'm so glad you showed everything so clearly. The camera is set so the viewers can really SEE what is going on. Plus, you explain beautifully and slowly. Thank you! Now I can sew my new sweater together. :-D

I love your video and your description on how to do this sewing together, it was so easy to follow your voice and tutorial, thank you very much.

Thank you so much for such clear and even work. You make this so easy looking, can’t wait to finish my sweater so I to can do this stitch. Your voice is very calming.

Very clear and precise, fantastic! Thank you

Thank you for such a clear and well explained video. I have knitted all the pieces of my very first sweater and I needed to learn how to sew them together. Now I know 😄

I have recently started kinitting again after more than 20 yrs, I find the videos very heipful in remebering old tricks and learning new ones. So thankyou so much. Brenda Duncan

Thank you for such a great,patient video for us beginners❤️

Love a fellow Texan giving such PHENOMENAL instructions and great camera angle! I just finished a 60 piece mitered square blanket and WISH I had seen this a week ago. great Job!

Diana, thanks so much for this perfectly clear explanation. I needed it today.

I've always had trouble with the mattress stitch. .I never likes the sewing parts because of that. This looks alot easier and I can't wait to try it. Thank you very much.

I am in the midst of seaming panels together for a thick, heavy throw I made. This technique is working beautifully. I had to stop seaming to let you know. Thanks so much.

And 7 years later still the best tutorial and be method! :)

Thank you for showing us this seam.

Thank you Diana for your video. It was indeed simple and fast. I finished my first vest watching your video.

Thank you for your kindness to post an excellent tutorial for mattress stitche seam like this. It's very easy for me to follow and understand . May you be blessed with happyness , great health and success.

I downloaded this a few years ago and want to thank you for taking the time to share a beautifully done video with great presentation! Soooo helpful to clearly see each step in a concise manner !! Your the BEST !

Wow what a great technique!!! Just used it to seam up a little stocking I made and it is SEAMLESS! (and was soooo easy!) Thanks for the tutorial!!!

Diana you have made my day....I find your explanation and directions perfect....finishing off a sweater for my grandson and was having a terrible time seeing up my edges....thank you very much for your help

This is awesome! I've tried many versions of mattress stitch but this is absolutely the best. Diana's instructions are perfectly clear and easy to follow. My finished sweater looks so much more professional. Thank you!!!

Thank you heaps! I've tucked the ends of the yarn in along the edges of the pieces and have been worried I'll muck up the mattress stitches with the tucked in ends. Very simple and straight forward! Just beautiful!

Thank you so much. I’ve been looking to close a flat hat pattern. Appreciate your tutorial.

I would like to thank you for helping me put the finishing touches on an Afghan for my son. I worked very hard to have a nice blanket for him but wasn’t having much success stitching it together and had to rip it out a few times. After I saw your video I’ve been able to do a good job to the end. Thanks again. I also liked how you explained it slowly.

This looks brilliant and very neat and fast. I will try this out on a Christmas jumper I am knitting. Thanks very much.

Marvelous approach -- with one MAJOR CAUTION! As promised, this results in faster and flatter mattress stitch seams. I've been using this on my Aran knit sweater projects for several years now with great success and I love it. The MAJOR CAUTION is that if, for any reason, you need to take out this seam then it cannot be repeated, because of the way it changes the participating stitches. I discovered this on a project where I had to shorten the sleeves of a finished pullover Aran knit sweater. I had to disassemble the sweater in order to pull out the raglan shaping and top inch of each sleeve (I had to first pull out the knit collar of the sweater). When I started to reassemble the sweater, I found that one leg of each selvedge stitch on the side and sleeve seams where I had done this "faster flatter" mattress stitch were stretched enough that I had big holes when I attempted to repeat the faster-flatter approach. All was fine after I reverted to a regular mattress stitch for these, but of course that was slower and bulkier. This approach truly IS faster and flatter so long as you don't have to take out the seam. The classic mattress stitch, at least the way I do it, does not distort the participating stitches as much as this approach. It is therefore easier to remove and redo the classic mattress stitch then this faster and flatter alternative.

This a great tutorial! You explain so well and your visual is excellent! Thank you!

Thank you! This looks so easy and still strong.

I am so glad I found this. Thank you. This made it so much easier!!! 💜

Thank You so much, Your method is much better,than I have been explained and shown!)...

WOW... This it just the best joining up stitch.I am so impressed by the result.. and your voice is great... thank you so much for sharing...

Thank you very much for your clear, easy to understand AND do tutorial. I've tried unsuccessfully to master the Mattress stitch many times. Success at last😁

Fabulous video - perfect timing. I have a large charity project coming up and was considering the thick seams - this video is perfect for smallers seams.

Beautiful. Thank you and your knitting group.

EXACTLY what I am looking for! Thanks so much!

I love your mattress stitch .I never used the usual mattress stich because I did not like the bulky seams it produced. Definitely faster ,flatter and smooth. Love it.. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you so much for this! What a help. I've used mattress stitch for years, and it's always awkward holding the pieces to do it. But I think with your method I'd be able to hold the pieces wrong sides together and seam up through the loops, which should be quite visible. Wonderful!

Excellent visual and demo 🌻 many thanks !!!!

So perfect and easy to understand! Thanks, and you have a lovely speaking voice.

Thank you! you describe and show this very well, so easy to do now :)

Great illustration. So clear to see.

Fabulous tutorial thank you. Cannot wait to start my seaming.

Love this idea! Working on fingerless gloves to donate and this looks so good

Thank you so much for posting this. I'm new to knitting and could never get the mattress stitch done right, it always ended up looking wonky since I couldn't tell where my needle was supposed to go. This tutorial is by far the easiest to understand and follow. I truly appreciate it!

This is an amazing technique, thank you!

Thank you so much for this set of instructions. I was getting a bit overwhelmed by the explanation from the other videos.

Thanks for sharing, your tutorial is really useful and I will use your method on my next project.

Super helpful! Thank you Diana.

Excellent demonstration, very clear and well explained.

Terrific video! Great way to seam and it looks great.

Thank you! I love this technic.

Like Judy, I've always had problems with this stitch. I'll certainly use this method. Thank you, Ruth from down under.

Wow. Just Wow. Love it. Thank you.

Truly amazing!! so much better! Thank you for sharing!

SO clear and really helpful. Thank you! X

This is so incredibly helpful! Thank you so much!!!!!!

Excellent way for flatter seam, thanks.❤

Thank you! This video is so well explained and will help me very much!

This is life changing!!! I loathe sewing up my knits and it has always looked absolutely rubbish, but I've just tried this and I can't even tell where the seam is. Thank you!!
