Knitting Help - Slow Motion Mattress Stitch

[@annetigan6209]

Wow, slow motion. You definitely are responding to a need for the visual learner! I didn't have to pause and restart the video numerous times. Thank you so much!

[@marymann3358]

I always know where to go for concise, well-demonstrated techniques. Thank you, Staci!!

[@mikeandkathymccann]

As a visual learner, I really appreciate the slow-motion to demonstrate how to do the mattress stitch. It's very helpful.

[@kristinecrandall3853]

As a very visual learner, I just have to say how much I appreciate you. You're a fantastic teacher! Thankyou!

[@annaguerette]

You look like Elizabeth Moss. Your voice is so soothing. Your tutorials are the only ones that help me! Thank you.

[@ginnyQ]

I'm with you, Anna!

[@barbarah5756]

Tremendous help! Once again, you saved me from the frustration of trying to decipher written instructions. I got it immediately! Hugs. Barbara 😍😍😍

[@U2cantrustme]

Thank you so much :) you are a great teacher. You have taught me a lot about knitting. Just a side note for the viewers: If you click that little "settings sprocket" on the bottom right in your videos you can select a slower speed to watch back the videos here on KZbin, its helped me a lot in other tutorial videos where I needed to see something in a slower motion. Happy Knitting All!

[@sonerila6987]

I appreciate the slow-mo so much! What a great way to teach. Thank you.

[@cindy8634]

I'm really grateful for the slow motion vidoes, I'm old now and only learned the basics of knitting when I was a child (seriously a child!) , so your videos are helpful to me and I appreciate them.

[@shcheok9658]

Amazing! love your slow mo tutorial and crystal clear instructions. I've finally learnt the mattress stitch!

[@andrewstiller1662]

Your videos (both fast and slow), are amazing. Thanks to you, my work has gone from looking homemade to professional and polished! Couldn't have done it without you!

I must digest this first ... a bit complicated

[@lauratarbuck8898]

Thank you so much for your videos ,you're my favourite knitting teacher on Yutube ! x

[@ashoakthorn369]

Thank you so much for making these. They help me put so much and I recommend them to so many new knitters.

[@taniaspencer6395]

Thank you. I finished my project because of this tutorial. Oh yes, how satisfying is pulling it together and it all comes together with a great invisible seam. Happy days. Love watching your tutorials.

[@lauraeldridge7027]

Thank you so much for the slo mo! I haven't knitted in several years and need a refresher and this was perfect!

[@karmonbrown5107]

This is amazing!! You can’t even see the seam! Thank you so much!

[@jackienoel2864]

You make it look easy, I appreciate your slow motion videos!!

[@marciemann6810]

Thank you thank you thank you. Your slo-mo is the only way for me to really get things. Thank you so much.

[@fc4660]

Thank you. Fabulous instruction and so satisfying to pull those stitches through, finally I got it!

[@bhaktasingh5307]

that is the tidiest knitting seam i have ever seen, mine always have a bit of a visual bump, cant wait to try this.

[@grace333ish]

Your slow no instructions are brilliant, and much appreciated. Thanks

[@cindyswoveland2277]

You have the BEST knitting instructional videos! Thank you so much!

[@helencaudill1583]

Just what I needed. Thank you for thinking of us that need slow motion/visual learners.

[@Laura-of4zd]

The slow motion make it very easy -Thank you for this.

[@DianaLoehrStone]

What a marvelous teaching video. This was my 3rd learning experience with mattress stitch; however, this one really took! Thank you so much! Was able to join two circular infinity cowl ends-one slightly larger than the other because my tension had changed. Was so worried about what would happen. Just followed your “two bar” guide for both sides, and guess what? Perfect join! The larger one married the smaller one and you could not tell at all. Was so excited to see and each time, doing the “pull,” vvv satisfying, as you said it would be. Your slow motion teaching is perfect for me, and this was my first experience with it. Will be back for more. Thank you!

[@kelseysteele4412]

THIS IS SO HELPFUL. I felt like I wasn't scrambling to keep up!!

[@Josie91956]

I love your slow-mo's! They really do help.

[@CindyKinney]

Hi Staci. Thanks for the slo-mo. The mattress stitch intimidates me so much.

[@JessicaSmith-gd1fu]

Thanks! I just started joining afghan squares. I did one just like this, then for some reason I did the next one backwards somehow. The ridge ended up on the front. Definitely needed this slow mo lesson! Now, I'll pick out the wrong one and do it again al la your great instruction. Thanks again!

[@SuddenUpdraft]

Thank you so much! My first seam was a bit funky, but I’m afraid to rip it out. It’s white dk and hard to see the difference between the sewing and the stitches. In the future I think I’ll try using a needle one size up for the bind off with dk and maybe worsted so it’s easier to see the ladders. I’m 68 and my eyesight isn’t what it used to be. Edit to add: Definitely subbing!

[@siobhanoraw3557]

Brilliant just brilliant. Thank you for a great demonstration

[@JamminWithJudith]

Thank you!!! I thought I'd never master this stitch. This was just what I needed. 🙂

[@darlaskinner9220]

Right? it seems so easy but still hard to master for me.

[@debbysire8148]

Thank you soooo much for this video. I had the hardest time figuring out where to put the needle. Your video helped tremendously! I feel more confident I can finish all the hats I've knitted but haven't finished!

[@gabbyfranks2875]

Yes, I’m a visual learner and this is very helpful. Thanks so much.

[@lndsyvghnbubert]

It’s always such a satisfying feeling to zip up that seam. It’s magical!

[@jmckenna1956]

So simple, and so satisfying!

[@yearningforyarn9412]

Thank you for this video. I was able to catch the rythem of it right away.

[@juliascott2751]

Thank you! The slow video really explains the concept so well.

[@carolepeterson2412]

Thank you. Love this stitch! You have been such a help and inspiration!

[@foxglovesandwildflowers]

Thank you so so much for this! I've watched a few tutorials for this an just couldnt understand it they always move far too quickly to follow! Now I can seem with confidence! Thanks again 💕

[@evabazan1966]

I’m saving this video- I like nice and slow

I have to mattress stich the panels of a BLANKET. Thoroughly overwhelmed but this is super helpful and I will try my BEST

[@dianemason3886]

Wonderful tutorial. Thank you!!

Thank you for sharing, this finish is allot neater.

[@annettewilliams8334]

Thank you so much! And yes, I’ve discovered that I am a visual learner.😊

[@linelladevlin7701]

I love your tutorials and Pinks Knits is where I always go first to learn. In watching the slo mo tutorial for mattress stitch, I was hoping to learn why even when my 2 pieces are the same, the ends always work out to be one side longer than the other. I notice in the w blue pieces you were sewing, it looked as if yours were going to be like that. Can u explain why this happens and how I can prevent it from happening. Thank you. Linella

[@verypinkknits]

The pieces I'm seaming in this video will match up perfectly. Keep in mind that you're starting with one side, then you'll even it up by stitching into the other side. You'll always be one stitch "ahead" until you even it up on the other side.

[@alisonhow1858]

think I've finally got it. thank you!

[@orcapod1025]

Thank you, thank you. That was so helpful❣

[@sharondonovan1403]

Thanks for the slow motion...very helpful....

Thank you so much. I can now do mattress stitch! Lesley (not Michael!)

[@redredwine1277]

Very helpful, Thanks again🌸🌼🌹

[@gildaescobarrodriguez8209]

Thank you so much! Super helpful!

[@elenaspinelli3921]

This is a great video, however I still do struggle with this! Practice, practice, practice! Also, could I request seaming two garter edges? Struggle with this also.

[@verypinkknits]

I have a (not slow motion) video on seaming garter stitch: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b32uqpSFgZaXb6M

[@U2cantrustme]

If you watch the kzbin.info/www/bejne/b32uqpSFgZaXb6M video just use the video playback "settings" to watch it at a 'slow mo' speed. Her voice will be distorted but if you are a visual learner you will get a better idea on what she is doing in the video with the slower speed. I change mine all the time when I am learning something new in knitting. XGL! Happy Knitting!

[@paulagardner4363]

Thank you for this great video. I am knitting with super bulky yarn and need to seam the front panels to the back panel on my cardigan. Is it better to use the mattress stitch or the overcast whip stitch for the horizontal seam?

[@verypinkknits]

Always use mattress stitch to seam, unless the pattern instructs otherwise.

[@marianneknapp4846]

Out of the stitch plus two more ladder stitches or more?

[@cindy8634]

That's really easy to follow when it's in slow motion, I'm having trouble finding a slow motion video for using the mattress stitch on ribbed stitching for a hat that is knitted flat, is it the same? Mine look awful.

[@verypinkknits]

Right - the technique is the same, regardless of the stitch in the fabric, like ribbing. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYLRcpmKoq5jn6M

I'd like to know how you get the edge of stockinette knitting to lay so flat. I've tried blocking it but it still rolls. (I'm knitting size 4 toddler sweaters)

[@bctracy8296]

Hey there, do you have/could you please do a video on how to pick up wraps from wrap and turn stitches. I'm struggling. Thanks.

[@verypinkknits]

I have a video called Picking Up Wraps...but doing a new video in slo-mo is a good idea, thank you!

[@bctracy8296]

@@verypinkknits I went and found your video, which fixed my confusion. Thank-you so much.

[@debido2u]

Thank you!!

[@8698gil]

How do I seam the rib stitch? I'm doing a hat with 2 x 2 ribbing. I can see the laddets with the knit stitch side, but I am having trouble finding ladders on the side with the purl stitch.

[@verypinkknits]

The same stitches (ladders) are there...just be sure you're picking up the same amount from the knit side and the purl side, and you'll get a good seam.

[@chan58]

Thanks so much!

[@winningnumbers]

How do you secure the other end of the thread (yarn) when finishing? The other end, you didn't go all the way to the end? I wanted to see how to secure it?

[@verypinkknits]

If you're using a wool yarn, you can just weave in the end. If you're using a more slippery yarn, you can use this technique: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oGXMgKqpm5mmo7M

[@winningnumbers]

@@verypinkknits Thank you so much.

[@babygirljer]

What kind of needle is used please? It’s not listed in the description or mentioned in the video. Thx!

[@verypinkknits]

It's a tapestry needle, or just a blunt sewing needle with a large eye.

[@babygirljer]

@@verypinkknits I watched your regular speed mattress stitch video and you mentioned it there! Thanks so much for all of the work that you do!
