How to Sew a Mattress Stitch Seam
"The first seaming technique that most crocheters learn is the whipstitch. While whipstitching has a time and a place, the Mattress Stitch Seam has become my go-to technique when seaming panels of crocheted fabric together. In this tutorial, I’ll share with you why! While there are many tutorials out there for the mattress stitch seam, I wanted to share with you my version. It differs a little from most others you’ll find in that I work on the Right Side of the fabric and I insert my yarn needle differently. This is a personal preference, and in my opinion, makes the most invisible seam."

I, like so many other people who crochet usually use the good old standby whip stitch to sew things together when crocheting. I welcome a new technique, but will probably always have the whip stitch on the ready as a great backup. I have used it for so many years now that I dont know if I can change.
