Thank you for demonstrating this useful joining method on the bumpy side edges of the crocheted pieces. Hard to know where to place the stitches; this helps!

Finally. A video that's succinct and easy to follow. I've looked at over half a dozen different videos on doing mattress stitch and this is absolutely the best one.

Best method I’ve seen! I’ve had a terrible time with this stitch until now! Just did it successfully! Thank you!

Hi Lissy, I am a beginner crocheter and have fallen in love with your videos. I just feel you do the very best at showing folks what the CYC’s best and recommended practices are. I am seaming together my very first project - a very long cardigan. I watched your video on mattress seaming. Not sure if I am describing it right but the two ends I am bringing together are chain stitch to a chain stitch. Your video has different ends coming together so the up and over is easier to understand. I would love to see how you would mattress seam together two chain stitch ends. Do you go one into the chain? How do you do the up and over? I would GREATLY appreciate your help! Thank you in advance and for all your wonderful videos!

this is simply the best tutorial on that stitch. I tried to follow a bunch of other explanations and the seam looked terrible, because it was hard to distinguish where exactly to insert the needle. You did so well! it finally worked💌

Very nice and easy to follow video. Can this work with amigurumi too?

[flannel]

Great. Are the right sides facing you?

how do you secure it at the end? do you just cut the yarn?

How would you secure the seam and cut the excess yarn off? I’m a beginner and working on a cardigan 😅
