This does help visualize, but I think it would have been helpful to discuss the special edge stitching that was briefly mentioned, and to show the wrong side of the work. (I'm not sure why you skip the outside row of stitches; it seems like the wrong side would have a thick seam, unnecessarily.)

No more uneven, puckered seams after you watch this video! The mattress is a bit thick on the wrong side. Tip: do a reverse for a hat ribbing if it is to be turned up.
