I was browsing through my large collection of stitching magazines last night and found something I would like to do, but the finishing leaves me puzzled.
The directions just said to use the mattress stitch with no explanations of what this is.
Googling it, I find lots of knitting and crochet references. Eliminating those from my search, I'm left with medical references for suturing.
Does anyone know what is meant by the mattress stitch if you are referring to two plain pieces of cotton that need to be joined?
