    I wish I could give you a big hug! For years I have struggled with sewing seams to the point where I would just dread making something that I would have to sew! Thank you for your video on sewing seams! I just sewed a mitten up and it came out perfect! Thanks again I am so great full!

    Finally! A video that finishes like my mum used to 😊 no lumpy seams. She finished beautifully and it looked easy (for her). I've always been dreadful at finishing my knitting, now you've given me the tools my mum used (and tried to teach me) many years ago, to do it neatly. Takes the dread out of knitting (almost 😅). Thank you, so happy to have found your video 😊😊

    I still fumble with the first one, but the second stitch was so easy! I knitted my first sweater and the side seams already look absolutely flawless! 🥳🥳🥳 Thanks so much for your video

    Thank you so much! For the first time, I was working on a project at this phase, and got to put one of your lessons into practice. I was stalling, dreading sewing together this kimono sweater, and finally watched this video once more and dived in. It looks gorgeous! I can hardly tell the seam is there!

    Great plan! I've used embroidery floss, usually on cotton pieces but it will work on other fibers. Just don't pull too tight. Thank you for watching.

    Thanks to you I have just sewn up the neatest seam I have ever done. Being a self taught knitter I have made lots of garments but never been confident sewing them up. Now I know that I can finish my projects off perfectly. Once again, thank you so much.

    Wonderful video! This half stitch is exactly what I needed for a bulky sweater I'm sewing. Your directions are spot on and very concise. Thank you!

    Thank you Cheryl for your tutorial; I have been knitting for so many years now but I love when I learn something new. I use the mattress stitch for seaming but never used the half stitch on the ribbed area 🙄 it just made so much sense I don't know how I didn't "get it" until I watched your video. Best wishes from Dublin, Ireland 👍

    Since I’ve watched this video several times btw, as l am a left handed knitter, my seams look so more professional and neat. Thank you for your help, it really helped.

    I was dreading this part of knitting my sweater, but now I’m not. This is extremely well done. I especially like the tip about dividing the yarn in half. Your manner is calm and the presentation was well paced, clear, and thorough. I emailed this video to myself and flagged it for future reference. Thanks so much!

    Thank you so much. You explained this method so clearly. I am finally seaming my knitting fearlessly and it's coming out great (and invisible!!) Wow.

    Thank you. After 50+ years of knitting I can, at last, do neaten finishing off seams. Great tutorial.

    OMGOODNESS! I have looked at so many "mattress stitch" videos that I'm almost cross-eyed but with yours I FINALLY GOT IT! Your video makes perfect sense or me! Thank you so much for posting and sharing!!

    Hi Cheryl, thank you ever so much.. your system is the best way of stitching it up..I'm at present busy stitching my fingerless gloves and it certainly is the best way, it's not noticeable at all.
