I hated seaming too, until I learned the mattress stitch. It's the only way to see what you are doing.The outside faces you and while you can fudge when you need to, I like that this method is very definite. Row for row, you know where to put your sewing needle. I don't think I could recommend this method more highly!!!!!!! Please learn it.

Please don't add musical transitions to the podcast! Yours is just about the only one that doesn't include music. With voice only, I can listen to it in a room where someone else is sleeping, but even a few bars of music wakes them right up.

I am also one of the finishing "challenged" and the mattress stitch has helped tremendously. Small amounts of music are ok and I do fast foreword through any music. I find that the music is usually louder than the talking part. I want to just reach through my ipod and give you the name of the tilted duster or affirm a comment. Keep podding and I look foreword to listening.
