Definitely the best tutorial I've seen for this stitch - I was struggling to work it out for a while and no other videos I've looked at were quite this helpful so finding this was perfect :)
thank you so much for this great video tutorial. i am currently using mattress stitch to join a pillow - but one side is garter and the other stockinette. after watching your tutorial i think i can now do a better job in joining my pieces together :)
Very clearly explained; thank you! However, I'm not clear on what to do when you reach the end of the square (I'm a new knitter)? Do you weave in the remaining yarn, or...? How do you keep the knitted seam from unraveling? Thanks so much!
I have to sew a Crossover collar into square neckline which entails sewing through 3 thicknesses of wool then ease in the rest of the neck and collar in together. What stitch do I use for the three thicknesses
+NiceyLuvstubing59 When working a piece that will be seamed, it is best not to slip the first stitch of every row to give a more secure edge. Only slip the first stitch of a row when the edge will be exposed as in a scarf.

How would I do this to join shoulder seams?
I understand the vertical (side) instructions, very nice thank you.
For shoulder seams you should use the Invisible Horizontal Seam.

What stitch pattern was used around the collar?
Thank you so much! Tried to "invent" this myself and it was NOT nice.
Would you use this same technique if your edges are slipped stitched

Ok, thanks. I was following the pattern directions for the Einstein coat.
