HOW TO SEW French Seams Tutorial | GA013

[@brendaborba7422]

I have used French seams before but was never told to add the extra to the seam allowance. Great tip- will be using it from now on. I watch your videos even for techniques I am comfortable with because I am always picking up something like this. Thanks

[@01034599]

Never sewn a day in my life but bought a sewing machine to learn because of your videos, hope this works out lol fingers crossed

[@GloryAllan]

GOOD LUCK 🙏🏻🤓

[@idkwuzgoinon]

I love your tutorials; clear, concise, and straight to the point.

[@laticiad.6762]

This was the best French Seam tutorial I have watch. You explain step by step instructions very clearly. Thank you so much.

[@yasmineamani579]

Your videos are so helpful, as an educator my students work so well when I use your videos as examples. They are short and concise, so easy to understand! Thank you for taking the time to make these ❤

[@lemon.1735]

Omg I understood this, thank you! Countless videos that were confusing and unnecessarily long.

[@Sergeant_Salt]

First ever sewing project and I needed a french seam for the middle of the garment I'm working on. The stitching wasn't completely straight but it still turned out looking perfect once I was done somehow. Great tutorial!

[@JuJuForREAL]

[@RomysChannel]

Hey! First of all! Love your videos! I just started a few months ago and i love how you assume that your viewers know nothing. Because well, i dont haha. My question: i’ve heard of french seams and now i know how to do them. But when and why would i use a french seam. What are main advantages? Is it a finishing like zigzagging or overlocking? Or is it something entirely different? Love, Romy

[@gabsi77]

It's a good seam to use if your fabric is prone to fraying, or if you don't like the feeling of "raw" edges on your skin. Basically just a cleaner finish on the inside, esp if you don't have a serger.

[@Kebersox]

@@gabsi77 Ohhh, the fraying is something I never thought of. I assumed it was for strength. I've noticed it in tent seams, so fraying makes sense as it's a very fine material

[@RomysChannel]

@@gabsi77 oh hey this makes sense! Thank you for your reply!

[@michaelrosspearson9756]

Luv the way you 'peace'.

[@GloryAllan]

LOL ...✌️

[@marcuswhitfield5853]

We love you.

[@noemiszabo6855]

I wish I've found this before I cut the fabric... Oh well at least it's just the mock up 😅 I would've burst in tears if it was the actual fabric

[@johnpluta1768]

When you make any sewing projects on the bias a French Seam is recommended.

[@ariel3725]

a bit unrelated to the video, but do you have any suggestions in terms of looking for sewing machine? would you recommend the model that you're using (singer 4423) for novice sewers? maybe next video will be tips on sewing machine?

[@mariazedek1157]

Thank you, i really get annoyed when ppl make something harder than it looks

[@uso9110]

Hey Allan, could you make a video on how to translate an idea in your head into a pattern plss ?

[@Ddragon217]

I really enjoy your content! Would love to work with you!

[@JohnSmith-qj6bj]

Quick question, if the patterns seam allowance is 5/8 inch ,do I still increase that allowance to 1 inch or am I increase it even bigger? Thx.

[@sofia_prado]

an example of a full garment where a french seam is used would be helpful cause i can’t visualize it just yet :|

[@siyabulelamdlazi608]

Hi could u please let me know who did your website for u ?

[@Jek956]

u got anything on automovive or trucks

[@tiffani-5104]

Hey! What kind of fabric that you use ?

[@GloryAllan]

It's a 280gsm poly cotton fleece :)

[@gutracz]

please release a tutorial of how to sew an oversized t, it seems so easy but I can't find a tutorial

[@nimoeuristides]

Why i cant find any video where it shows how to do it in the corners, I mean sewing in a straight line is easy but what about when you have to join the seam in an 90degree angle and make it look neat in the right side of tue fabric.

[@azrielwest2810]

These channels have the videos you want: Magdeline G has a “sewing perfect corners”, Sewing in the City has “sewing French seams on a 90 degree angle”, Cechaflo has a French seam on corner video though it’s for upholstery. Hope that helps.

[@flow9175]

why trim it when u could just measure 3/4 inch seam allowance instead of 1 inch?

[@dimimrtwiggy]

teach me papi

[@Emilia-dj4cg]

where can you use that kind of seam?

[@noemikizem7246]

Anywhere, but it works best with straight lines, with curves is a little different and harder

[@nadas4186]

I love it on sheer fabrics especially, it looks so much cleaner with French seem.

[@Emilia-dj4cg]

thanks for the tips

[@liamnorman528]

Such a dude.

[@chrisprice5806]

you always smoke the same amount of weed and its hard to tell if you are stoned. you should make a video about like "the swiss army knife: the industrial drop feed" or "the industrial drop feed: the swiss army knife": .. can a double needle be used if the gib hook is slid way over?(i dont know), rolled hem foot for doing felled seams or stiching two peices together, i see production sewists use paper and stuff to create a no-bunching stich(allows the presser foot to slide on paper on the top, i think there are people out there with just a straight-only machine that would wanna case edges/prevent fraying.. if i can stay using just my dropfeed and never have to use my zigzag machine then production goes quicker becasue the feeddogs and feet on my zigzag are just not small enough for detail work- nor do they have the Expansefull selection of highshank feet like my drop feed. imagining the drop feed straight only machine as a swiss army knife of the machines is an interesting and usefull perspective. overlockers are dope and i need to shell the cash out for an industrial one so i can really use it for all the value the stich holds though :/

[@AuntoraB]

Why sew it at 1/2" and then trim to 1/4"? Why not just sew to 1/4" to begin with? Every tutorial I've watched includes this trimming step.

[@fern4914]

I think that would add a extra 1/2 “ on the opposite side of your fabric where your fabric is not stitched.

[@comfybeanie]

I think it might be easier to sew at a 1/2” - no extra worrying about the machine eating your fabric by accident, especially if it’s delicate!

[@ChaiLatte64]

I'm curious too. How about you try it both ways and come back and lmk ? I think it might just make it easier to work with. Lmk.

[@richiew1121]

can you teach a mandem how to sew chinese seams plz

[@VivianMcall]

Not me first having to google what 5/8 of an inch is… hello 3rd grade
