Here is video on binding off. If you need more help, don't hesitate to ask.

What are you putting together? That will give an idea of the best way to attach them.

For most knitting that I sew together, I use the mattress

For things that just need the very edges connected, I go with this:

thanks.. :D but on the mattress seam video, at the beginning, the corner was not seamed together, why is that?

I think she just hadn't gotten to that yet. You'd go all the way down. I think it was just a demonstration of how the whole thing pulls together.
