Putting two pieces together

#1

Hello everyone! I’m a beginner at knitting, so I was wondering if you guys could show me how to connect the side of a piece to another side. Thanks!

Look about halfway down on this page at “finishing”.

Here is video on Mattress Stitch–the absolute best way to seam things.

But supposing I’m putting together two pieces and I have no idea how many lines there are (like they’re uneven) then what do I do?

I want the pieces connected at all four sides, and as I was looking at the mattress seaming video, she had these sides that I didn’t have. HELP!

If you’re attaching end to end rather than vertical stitches, you can still use the mattress stitch–just pick up a full stitch on each side and work back and forth. If your pieces are uneven, you can fudge and skip a stitch periodically on the longer side.

What are you trying to sew together?

Hehe… I’m making a patch quilt for my boyfriend of twenty months. 30 pieces, 10"x19.2"
