Straight to the point and clearly demonstrated. Very helpful. Thank you.
I don't know why but I was taught to join a hat together for instance with a slip stitch. This is a million times better. Thank you!
I have tried this stitch with a few other tutorials but this is the clearest. Thanks :)
I am learning crochet and have used a good number of your videos. They are now my go-to for learning new techniques or stitches. Your videos are clear and concise and don't waste time with unnecessary chatter! I love that I can understand a new concept and get back to my project quickly. Thank you, and keep making awesome videos!
straight to the point and so easy to follow! thank you for posting this!
THANK YOU ! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I am a volunteer member of a senior citizen knitting/crochet club. And we are making a baby blanket to donate to a charity. Our first attempt to stitch together the 4x4 inch squares looked horrible, so I took the entire project home, worked a single crochet border around each differently colored square and then searched YT for a relatively invisible seam. Your technique is perfect for our project! We will donate it with pride!
♥ I'm so glad to hear it, Billie!
Fabulous tutorial for a stitch I have dreaded doing for years! I followed the guidance and it was so easy. Thank you for recording the tutorial
Thanks for sharing! Been quite a few years since I've done this stitch and this is a perfect refresher!
Thanks so much for the mattress stitch tutorial! I think this is the best way to seam a crochet project! Love it! Keep the tutorials coming Moogly!
This was the best example of how to do this stitch!! I have looked at so many examples today and got utterly confused. Between Pinterest, Google Search, videos, etc. But with yours I understood it quickly. Thank you!!!!!!
It reminds me of lacing shoes and passing the lace underneath. Simple and brilliant to a newbie like me.. Thank you!
Thank you. I have watched 3 other videos but this is the only one that made sense.
Best tutorial ever, and I have looked at many, Thank you!!!
This was excellent.
Very clear.
Thank you for explaining so well in this tutorial on how to do this Mattress stitch! I finally understanding this stitch! 🙂
thank you I am a beginner and this was helpful
Thanks so much, Tamara! I needed this.
Thank you so much for this video. i love this explanation
Thanks so much for that Super easy explanation...wrong side to the right side...I’ll remember that forever!!👍👍😻
Thansk for this tutorial! It's really clear and helpful!
I had great results with this stitch. Thank you, it´s perfectly explained
Thank you so much for the easy tutorial, Tamara! I just needed to make sure it is the same joining crochet as it is knitting. Great tutorial that answered my question!
Perfect seam....thank you so much!!!
Thank you very much, your video makes it simple, very helpful.
What is this sorcery?? This is amazing and exactly what I’ve been looking for. Thank you ❤️
This is such a clear tutorial. Thank you so much! Just one quick question: Is there a basic rule of thumb that would tell me how long of a strand of yarn to start with to make sure I can get across the whole piece? I plan to use this technique to sew a SCBLO ribbing onto the top and bottom of a blanket I made and I’m trying to figure out how long my yarn should be so I can do it in one shot. Thanks!
I like to cut the yarn about 2.5x the length of the seam!
Thank you! That’s a good one to add to my growing list of crochet gems 😁
Very helpful -- thank you!!
Thank you
I'm still so confused in how to secure/tighten the end of it? please show how To securely end the stitch
Hi! After you've finished sewing, you just weave in both ends as you would if you'd been crocheting or knitting with it. :)
stitching starts at 1:11
Best viewed at 1.5x speed. Still easily decipherable at 1.75x.
I always watch at 2x, so whatever works for you! :)
Thanks so much for this video. It was very helpful. I'd love to see a video on how to do this into the sides of stitches. I can never get my seam to look right because I'm not sure where to put the yarn needle. There are no v's on the sides like there are at the top of stitches.
Thank you for the suggestion! Basically you want to use clips or stitch markers to hold your pieces together to make sure the spacing stays even, and then eyeball it, trying to stay consistent - about the same as crocheting the edges together!
is this done with right sides together? or wrong sides as per a sweater that calls for mattress stitch on the sides?
I would also like a clarification, please
Do u have a video showing how to mattress stitch sides of crochet pieces?
No, but I would recommend using the same number of stitches as if you were crocheting a border - one stitch in the side of each sc row, 2 in dc, 3 in tr, etc. :)
@@mooglyblog Loved this video. I’m no longer afraid of doing granny squares .Thx!
BUT I do not understand your explanation above. 2 in.. 3 in..?
What about the Turing chains when they are not counted.?
Would love a video on joining sides. I have an unfinished sweater because my attempts at seaming are a disaster.
😊. Love your Lunch time chats with a Yarnspiration BTW❤️
@@sheiladale6802 Thanks so much! When seaming things, it's fine to sew into the turning chain - you're just sewing along the edges of each piece.
@@mooglyblog Thank you🥰
how do you tie the ends?
You would weave them in as you would any other ends in your crochet or knit project. :)
How often do you pull the stitches tight as you're seaming?
When I'm actually using it and not demonstrating it, every couple of stitches. :)
Tamara Kelly Fantastic, thanks!
You know if you turned your work around and sewd towards yourself .. it’s a lot easier ….
ooooooooh like shoelaces! omg i finally get it. drawn instructions are hard.
I'm so glad! I agree, most drawn instructions don't make sense until you already know what they mean! :P
