Excuse me while I french seam everything I sew from now on haha - thank you!
I love instructional videos - this was not a favourite topicof mine at school sadly, so catch-up lessons demonstrated with enthusiasm are very welcome. I like the fact that you did it all with equipment most of us have.Thank you so much.🌷
Thanks so much for watching, glad you found it helpful! :)
This a Great video on seam finishes! Very clearly demonstrated and explained!! This will definitely be my go to for future sewing projects to try different way to finish seam!! Thank you!😊
Thank you for watching and letting me know! :)
As a beginner, this is a very useful guide for me. And I would also like to say, I bought a clapper as my first tool that didn’t come with my machine. I LOVE IT! I press most of my clothes, but since buying the clapper and using it in my sewing, I can really see the difference in quality of pressing now! At 58 years old, I thought I knew what I was doing when it came to garment care. Boy was I off! I had to learn how to make garments to truly understand how much I needed and wanted to learn. And now I can’t seem (a little pun) to get enough! Thank you for a very thorough video.
Thanks for the thorough demonstration! Having the Hong Kong demo and the bias bound demo next to each other gave me the idea of a hybrid, where you have more bias in the back, still folded in on itself, but because there's more in the back it lets you stitch in the ditch for the hidden thread appearance.
Enjoyed that one. I'm impressed by finishes too❤.
Excellent video. Greatly appreciated😊
Thank you so much for this very clearly explained, demonstrated, and helpful tutorial!
Thank you - this was clear and very helpful!
I used the French seam on the Fern top a week or so back! I made it from a cotton voile that is super sheer! It was a lot of seaming but my shirt is fabulous!!!!
Yay, so happy to know that! Sounds really nice! Thanks for watching and making Fern! :)
This video was great. Didn’t even know about these other seam finishes lol! Thank you. Also love how you end your videos very cute and down to earth. Keep doing what you are doing. It’s all good 👍
Thanks, Yvette! That is so nice and I'm so glad you're enjoying them!
Excellent presentation
Really great video, saving this in my sewing playlist for Future projects
Thanks!
Thank you for this! I’m a new sewist and your demonstrations are not only clear but also beautiful. I will refer to this often!
Thank you so much! Glad they are helpful!
Brilliant! Keep hearing about seam finishes and seeing them on finished garments but have never actually tried any of these finishes. Now to get practicing...:)
Awesome! Thanks for watching! :)
The best tutorial ever
Saved for future reference a very detailed video. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for this video. I started sewing again recently and your instructions are clear and easy to follow. Saving this one.
I'm so glad! Thank you!
Exactly what I needed right now. Thanks Casey
You're so welcome! Thank you for watching!
I am such a beginner and this is so incredibly helpful. I remember when I first started sewing (BEFORE the internet) I had no idea what a “seam allowance” was.
Well, this video had the same effect. I had no idea that there were so many options to finish off the raw edges inside a garment, who knew!
Yes, I know. But think back to when you knew nothing about sewing- I’m 2 steps away from that point 🙃
Thank you for using contrasting thread! And for marking the wrong side of the fabric.
So glad it was helpful! I know there is so much to learn with sewing and it can be overwhelming! I'd like to add more videos like this over time, tutorials for some of the sewing basics.
Thank you. I learn so much from you.
I'm so glad! Thanks for watching!
Omg this is so beautiful and satisfying 😍 🤩 ☺️ thanks
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! :)

I felt like I was watching magic I never knew existed - thank you!!
I definitely would like to have a serger..... after I have learned
more about my current machine!!
i dont have a serger and i want to give my next garlent the best finishes ever so ill try applying your methods soon ...thank you
Ok good! Thanks so much for watching!
Thanks so much for this tutorial. The first time I did a flat felled seam was on the Sew House Seven "Free Range Slacks" and I loved it...I put wrong sides together and made the seam on the outside of the slacks...it was such a clean looking seam. Just finished my first "Hana Tank" and it turned out great...I put colored snaps down the front and it looks so cute...Your pattern designs are just so spot on for me and thanks so much for doing the full bust adjustments for us... Oh !!! I have to tell you every time you say "strangs" I lmao...my mother used to jokingly say that when she was sewing. My family is from Alabama deep deep down Alabama and unless you're familiar with the South, you got that "thang" down pat....LOL
Haha I get it honest--born and raised in Mississippi! Thanks for making the Hana tank and thanks for watching!! :)
@@PatternScout LOL we are G.R.I.T.S girls raised in the south...lol
I always use my serger (I have the Imagine too) even for French Seams. I sew the first row of stitches on the serger - 3 thread narrow with the longest stitch length to keep thread down as much as possible - then flip and do my final seam on the sewing machine. The cutting the serger does keeps the edge clean and I can feel the "bump" through the fabric as I'm sewing the final seam at the sewing machine. I use my serger's differential feed to do all my gathering. I LOVE my serger :)
That is smart, i will have to try that! I know, I love my serger too. It was handed down to me from my mother-in-law who said she wasn't really really using it and I happily took it off her hands. :) I use it so much!
Someday…I’ll get a serger and actually know what this means 🤪
Flat Felled Seam is first stitched wrong sides together....press...trim one seam allowance to 1/4"...fold and press flat the second seam allowance to wrap about the one 1/4"...top stitch the seam allowance from the OUTSIDE (right side). The Flat Felled Seam produces the bulk of the seam allowance to the OUTSIDE (right side) of the garment. The purpose of Flat Felled is to reduce skin irritation. Any other process is a faux flat felled seam allowance.
I got lost at the last two seams. I’ll have to slow it down and play it back again. I have two new simplicity cut and sew pattern that came with knit fabrics and it wants me to use the single fold bias binding on the curved seams but doesn’t give good directions for how. Wish me luck. Thanks for your video.
Very helpful. Doesn’t the bias tape add a lot of bulk around the seam area when you are wearing the garment?
Your videos are so thorough and easy to understand! Thank you for helping to make sewing accessible to a beginner. In the video it looks like you really pull on the thread (with your left hand behind the foot) when you start your stitching. Are you really pulling or is it just a steady resistance?
Thank you! Yes it is just a steady resistance to keep the thread from getting sucked into the machine at first, and then i just like to hold it to help guide it. But not pulling too tight.
Can you make a video please, how to finish sleeve’s edges when you attach sleeve to the garment. (Sounds complicated, but I don’t know how to ask a better question).
I was hoping to see a princess seam because I don’t know what it is.
Thank you so much for this great refresher video for me! I will save it in my saved videos for quick access! And a reminder to use my clapper!!! Lol! A question.. on a flat felled seam, it seams as though for jeans they sew it on the outside of the garment, right? so the folded fabric is on the right side then sewn down on the outside?
Yes the clapper is so unassuming but I use it SO MUCH haha. When I make jeans, the flat felled seams are the same orientation but just have an extra row of topstitching sewn on the exterior side. I just looked at a pair of my RTW jeans and the seam is actually sewn slightly different than how I demonstrated it (looks like it is somehow folded and sewn just with the topstitching all in one step).
@@PatternScout that’s how I used to do it but after watching your video I’m switching to your way!
And i forgot to say, im 72 and want to make some easy pants and tops for summer. I sew bags and pouches with zippers and pockets but no clothes. I like style arc styles, but there are no directions to their patterns.
Hi, Thank you for the video. Now I know what the difference is between a Hong Kong and a bias bound seam is. And you make perfect sense. Especially with the pictures to go with you. One question if I may? When you use rayon bias to bind seams do you use the regular width bias that you can buy in the shops (if I could ever find it in my country) or is there a special bias that is much narrower around for this purpose? Actually, the same goes for the regular bias too. Yours, Ann
P.S Thank you for being real enough to show your slightly wonky seams. They help me, a complete novice to accept that seams can get slightly wonky and won't make me feel awful when mine are too. You lowered my stress level a lot. D.S
Hi Ann, for these examples I made my own bias tape, but you can purchase different widths based on your preference (i'm not sure off the top of my head all the widths they come in). I usually make my own so I can use up fabric scraps and customize the width. I use a 'bias tape maker' (I have a set of I think 5 different widths) and it makes quick work of folding the strips. Hope that is helpful! Thanks so much for watching!
@@PatternScout Hi, Thank you for your kind answer. This answered my ponderings on the subject. I have been eyeing the gadgets myself. Again thank you so much. Yours, Ann

I have always liked the french seams...but, I don't know how much extra to add to my seam allowance 🤔
The traditional 5/8 inch seam allowance is that way to allow for a french seam. I start with a 1/4 inch seam, press carefully, and then sew a 3/8 inch seam. Those measurements combine to make a 5/8 inch seam with no trimming necessary.
Hi there. May I ask what table surface you have? It looks like you cut on it and press on it and its a great size. Thanks
BTW weather in Xabia continues to be wonderful.
It's a thrifted dining table and I found a large 3' x 5' cutting mat that fits the top perfectly. I also have a folding ironing pad with a grid on it that I use for pressing, love that thing! I kinda want to make a larger ironing pad...maybe a future tutorial 🤔
And Xabia has my heart, such a beautiful place!!
How about curved seems? Loved the video btw
Yes, these will work on curved seams as well (some finishes may just require a little extra patience and finesse) :) thanks for watching!
Can you mention iron you are using in this video ?
It is the 'Shark Professional' iron...although to be honest, I don't love this iron haha. I can't use the steam function because it leaks water so bad! But i've gotten used to using it without steam so I'm not ready to replace it just yet :)
Sen bir harikasın senden çok şey ogrenecegiz erkekler içinde bekliyorum bir numarakı takipcinim👍
Thank you!
Isn't the French seam in the wrong side here?
