- My tip was Thread magazine's June/July tip of the month! Here is a rundown on the traditional method of sewing a French seam, and then how and why I modified it, taking a tried and true technique and making it a little bit better. The modified seam begins at 5:59.

What a great tip... Congratulations on being published in Threads
Major magazine recognition!! Woohoo!!
Yup, I was pretty excited about that!
It looks beautiful. Congratulations on being featured in print, forever immortalized. :))
I love this! And it reminds me of one of my sewing instructors! "You must ALWAYS respect the turn of the cloth!"
I love French seams....brilliant adjustment to do French seam, isn't it amazing how our fingers are so sensitive to what the fabric and stitching are doing..😘♥️🦋
I wear a lot of woven short sleeved T shirts. From certain angles, it is possible to see the underarm seam where the sleeve joins the bodice, if my arm is raised. So I do the bottom of the armhole seam as a French seam. I don't guess the seam allowance. I actually mark all around the sleeve head with the 1.5mm seam allowance before I start, so that when I do the final stitch, with right sides together, I know that I am actually sewing on the intended stitch line.
Thank you for your excellent teaching
Congratulations on Threads!
I sew the seam with wrong sides together at 1/8 inch. No need to trim.
That might not work on some fabrics, but it works on most I sew with.
Your creative mind engineered fabulous hints when french seaming sheers 💃💃💃
Loved this thank you for sharing. Re pressing, my nanak taught me, sew a seam, press a seam. Always x x x
🏆 Congratulations on your Thread’s feature!
Excellent!
Very lovely
Thank you for sharing. I used your technique on the inside seam of Chiffon sleeves
My grandma was a seamstress (and her family were tailors). She would climb out of her grave if I used a machine serger on clothing. French seams with the occasional bias tape seam is all I use.
I've never sewn a French seam and you just set my bar
Looks super neat, great technique!
Thanks so much! It was a game changer for me with delicate fabrics, especially synthetics.
Great idea! Featured in Threads!
Yup! That was a nice bit of validation.
That is great, but can you do a French seam on a curvy line?
😊
Is there a video on the beautiful top you are wearing. Your videos are so great but I've never seen one like the top your wearing. X
Oh, thank you. I made that top before I had a UA-cam channel!
