Mattress Stitch Tutorial

My mattress stitch tutorial for seaming selvedge-to-selvedge and selvedge-to-bind off edge. Featuring my signature garter ridge & slip stitch selvedge, but a universal tutorial for all mattress stitch seaming.

What it covers:

• proper yarn choice for seaming

• how to count rows easily at the garter ridge edge

• seaming selvedge-to-selvedge

• seaming selvedge-to-bind off edge (for seaming a sleeve to an armhole)

• how to “ease” in your fabric when one side is longer than the other
