knitfreedom.com/finishing How to seam knitting invisibly with mattress stitch:

Mattress stitch is a great seaming technique that doesn't have to suck.

Tips for success:
1) slip the first stitch of every rows so that the edge is straight
2) Make sure you block your swatches first so that the edges lay flat.
3) Use a strong yarn to sew with so it doesn't break.
