And after 70years of knitting I only NOW learn how to join pieces properly! THANK YOU!!

[@auntyJanette]

But I bet you know more fabulous techniques that we would benefit from Jo. 🤗

I would love to see 70 years of your work!!

[@drawn_by_starla9462]

Kinda impressed by how old you are ngl. Good for you man

[@chasing_the_good7260]

wowie, I was feeling ridiculous about my 15 years of knitting experience before learning this technique... never too late to learn I suppose 🧶✨

[@madiantin]

This is really excellent! I love how you got straight to it without chatting for five minutes beforehand. I love how you pointed out *exactly* where the needle goes. Really fantastic, thank you!

[@agemoth]

Yes, I feel the same!

[@Diane574]

11 years after you posted this: THANK YOU!!! This is so much nicer than what I’ve been doing! I’m working on projects now where I will need to do this! I’m very grateful! ♥️

[@55jedda]

Very easy to follow. After over 60 years of knitting I am not afraid to use mattress stitch. Thank you

[@agemoth]

Absolutely PERFECT close up and simply explained tutorial! Thankyou for giving us the intricate details whilst keeping it short and to the point. I feel much happier now, I didn't think I'd ever be able to do this, I was gonna forever cheat with whip stitch on the inside! 😂 but now I'm feeling much more confident!

[@LouevilBelle]

Best tutorial on the mattress stitch that I have found. Thank you SO much! You made it so very clear, which made it infinitely easier. MUCH appreciated!

[@mercedescooper9130]

I'm a knitter 15 years ago I never couldn't sew proyects was very hard for me with your patience finally I could saw my cardigan.Thank you very much

[@elainebmack]

This is amazing! I had never heard of the mattress stitch until a new patterns suggested it as a finishing technique. I'm so happy to have found your video. That blue yarn disappeared like magic, without a trace.

[@2009jpierce]

The best description and demonstration of the mattress stitch that I have ever seen. Thank you!

[@elenawhite88]

Legitimately the best tutorial for seaming. For some reason all other videos I watched for mattress stitch were confusing and unclear. This helps, I subscribed!

[@ALT-vz3jn]

This is my favorite video that teaches how to join pieces together because she uses a contrasting yarn, it makes it SO much easier to follow along with my own pieces. Thank you so much! ❤

[@katiegrav]

Thank you. I have looked at tons of mattress stitch videos. Have never seen one as good as yours. You use a light color of yarn making it much easier to see. You show beginning of process and ending on sample. I've seen tons that start in middle of project and they don't end it leaving newbies to mattress stitch in the dark. The video is nice and clear to see what you are doing. Just wonderful!

[@lindalangeheine5787]

I appreciated the blue thread. It made it so easy to follow. Thank you.

[@OurWildInTheLife]

That is what I was thinking when I clicked on this video, it makes the tutorial much more visible to follow along.

[@heleneschenbacher8512]

Even with using the blue yarn I couldn’t see the “blue” in the seam! That REALLY made me sit up and notice this video!

[@indranichaudhuri4678]

How to join sleeve sides neatly with mattress stitch.

[@jdavisduerr]

Thank you for such a clear video! Pace of directions/demonstration was perfect, and the camera clarity and position was perfect. Honestly, makes a world of difference! :)

[@tilly4267]

Have knitted for 47 years, in more recent years baby blankets and baby hats, didn’t really like finished seam on hats so this video showing an invisible seam is excellent, thank you so much for sharing, will certainly give this a go. Good luck with future videos. Will be back for more tips - have subscribed.

[@misskfountain4070]

After 11 years, you’re still helping knitters. This video is so straight forward and clear, just excellent. Now, I’ll do the last step to complete my first cowl. Thank you so much!!

[@claramitchell7221]

I appreciate the demonstration of the mattress stitch , because I have a large number of sample pieces that can be of great use seamed together. There are many projects I can make .

[@SteffieEhm]

This is a game changer. I have been knitting for 25 years and have not been seaming this way, but I can tell you I will moving forward! Thank you for this very clear and straightforward instruction.

[@ElgePremeau]

Thank you for not wasting my time with a bunch of extraneous stuff I don't need to know! (Unlike other videos...)

[@dianetdavis33]

Yes! My biggest complaint about many how to videos. Really appreciate the clarity.

[@TheSuperHarrygeorge]

I thought it was straight to the point and clearly explained !

[@annadimarzio9170]

Just finished a sweater that required the mattress stitch to put all together. looking up instruction videos on how to do it , yours is by far the best...many thanks.

[@georginarussell6554]

What a brilliant demonstration, very clear instruction and you also allowed us to see exactly what you were doing closely on the work without blocking our view with your fingers, which is vital in order to learn and copy. Thank you very much

[@vicnicholas3294]

Thank you! The easiest demonstration of mattress stitch EVER!

[@auntyJanette]

Thanks for the video. My son asked me to knit a sweater for his wife for her birthday. The pattern was on Pinterest. I never realized how nervous I’d be working on this and I had to get the seams right. Sweater looks great, and I’m gonna brag about the seams thanks to your excellent video. Many thanks.

[@Giantkiller130-t]

When you pulled it together at 2:47, my mind was completely blown.... thank you!

[@teddybear9510]

OM goodness! Thankyou Amanda. I watched other videos before yours (As yours was third in the list). Yours was the clearest and easiest to understand - by far. I now feel confident that I can do this :)

[@bhanadeaver5635]

Your clear explanation of even the smallest details really made this demonstration helpful. Thank you so much for posting this video.

[@mariagraziaspigno3203]

Complimenti!!! Clear step by step explanation, and the tone of your voice that suggests it's nothing difficult.. very reassuring:-). You actually saved a poor knitter's life today🙃

[@margiebray1387]

Thank you. I’ve done mattress before but didn’t have a clear understanding and did not look anywhere as good as this. Great video.

[@BaxtersBoys]

Yes, thank you!! Some of the others look messy, and have extra step. Yours is concise and to the point. Thank you.

[@aletheia6012]

After 20 years of knitting...Mind. Blown! Thank you so much for this video!

[@lorrainehutter6677]

Wow! What a great job of joining the two pieces at the cast on edge. That could have been a video on its own!

[@Washiela]

Love! Love! Love! Great teaching without the usual unnecessary things I did not to know. Definite game-changer for me. Thank you!!

[@juliascott2751]

Thank your for the very first instruction of working the first stitch IN and showing that so clearly!

[@ctapley5409]

Best demonstration of mattress stitch ever! Thank you

[@DaddyAbbadon99]

Ive been avoiding this out of fear it was difficult🤦🏻‍♀️ Thanks for creating, helped a lot 👍🏼

[@dogmom7698]

Wow!! Wish I had known how to do this technique years ago!! Beautiful seaming. Thank you very much for the tutorial 💕

[@1UPdogtraining]

Thank you so much for this very clear and detailed video! It was very helpful that you showed how to start and finish and didn't just start in the middle.

[@mariwillalwaysgivethanks]

The upclose was the BEST. Other vids were hard to follow because of the fingers getting in the way of their demonstration...thank you.

[@sandraskibo3171]

Thank you so much for this video. I had so many problems joining my afghan squares and you make it so easy to understand.

[@andreaa.russell8032]

Thank you so much for this video. I knitted myself some panels on a loom to make leg warmers. I wasn't sure exactly how to join them and this video is exactly what I needed. Yay!!

[@AmandaLovesCrafts]

Thank you so much for your amazing tutorial. So easy to follow. I have always struggled to make my edges neat, resulting in lovely knitted garments ruined.

[@ashleym490]

You're my knitting hero! I'm knitting a flip doll and needed a way to stitch up the back. Thanks!!

[@julierouse4764]

Thank you for demo of starting and finishing off of the seam. Other demos have not shown this.

[@lindaconner3236]

Can anyone see my jaw laying on the floor ?? This is brilliant. Where were you yrs ago when l needed you ?? 😳😳😣💛

[@auntyJanette]

Excellent video. No extra chat. And you showed the reverse. That you. Great yarn company ❤❤

[@l.m.o.8948]

[@bridgetplunkett7630]

Exactly what I needed. Concise and to the point. Thank you.

[@thenittingnurse]

Wow! I actually understood this technique!! Thank you so much! I have always disliked any knitting with seams and would do everything possible to convert in the round. Awesome Instructor!!

[@thomaspierce1177]

This worked exactly how I wanted it to work. Thank you for showing me how to do this stitch.. Very easy to follow.

[@KelleMerritt]

Thank you! So easy to follow and no wasted time on things that don't matter.

[@bolajiraufu6247]

Thank you very much, this is the second video I watched for this stitch and yours was more explicit and clear. Thanks

[@saywhat8966]

Thank you very much! This after years of being told to ‘sew the seams together’ without any instructions.

[@lburgess3098]

Beautifully clear and simple. Thank you!

[@fcs1323]

I have been going demented trying to do this. Following your video has led to a major break through for me. Thank you!! 😂😊

[@artyphotogal]

This is a very precise demonstration that is easy to see. Thank you!

[@pennyb2245]

Thanks for this fabulous tutorial. I finally finished my first top! 🎉

[@heleneschenbacher8512]

When I did my plastic surgery rotation I spent HOURS learning the mattress stitch. I told these massively egotistical plastic surgeons that there was nothing they did that every person who knits, crochets, and embroiders knows how to do. I said “Our stitches must be perfect in knitting. If you screw up the body heals itself." Oh I was REALLY popular. The only woman and I laughed at them! Seriously every crafter I know is just as skilled or MORE than these dudes that make millions each year. They sure hated getting laughed at. I took in Hawai’ian quilts, tapestry, a knitted pantsuit with a pattern of 15 lines! (Not me--another person!) Back in the 1950s and early 1960s the old time surgeons used to sit in the hallway and “tat.” It kept their fingers nimble especially when arthritis started setting in. Be PROUD about your craft!
