I have been making magic pillowcases for my family, I use French seams to make the inside just as nice and finished as the outside.

[@SewingPartsOnline]

Great place to use them!

[@kespeisithoe9329]

Thank you for using fabric which shows pretty side and reverse side easily

[@glendaarmstrong8104]

Will be using on my sheer dresses and tops

[@sharondurant3273]

I'm making a linen jacket with silk accents (pockets, button tabs, etc.); a copy of one I've worn for 10+ years. The original has french seams at shoulder and side seams. perfect for linen!!

There she is! Love you , Trisha

[@vickidenouden3480]

I’m going to attempt some summer tops, skirts, and dresses. I think this would give them a proper finish. The fabric is rayon or a cotton/linen blend.

[@SewingPartsOnline]

This finish would be beautiful for your summer wardrobe!

[@gittel_malky]

I'm using a French seam on an heirloom baptism gown that I am making. I will use it joining the front and back as well as the lining side seams. I just think it is a nicer look than serging those seams.

I've been looking for a seam that will allow me to increase the size of my Flat Sheet without a noticeable seam showing. With one change I will be sewing down the seam as in your Flat Felled Seam tutorial. Thanks

I am trying to recreate Wednesday Raven Gown for my 4 year old grandaughter for Halloween. Organza and satin scary.

[@juneknight9586]

I have used the French seam when making lingerie.

[@MaryJoD]

Why do you press open the seam if you're going to fold it back onto itself when it is encased?

[@SparkyOne549]

Yes.

[@MaryJoD]

@@SparkyOne549 why, please?

[@shawnagunn9054]

I am brand new to sewing and I know I am gonna sound like an idiot but i have to ask. The stitch width setting on the sewing machine moves the needle to measure desired width of seam from needle to edge of pressure foot?

[@SewingPartsOnline]

It has a couple of purposes. :) The stitch width determines how far the stitch will go from side to side. Let's just say, you have selected a zig zag and the stitch width is 3.0. That means that your zig zag stitch is going to be 3mm wide. Yes, depending on your machine, when you have selected a straight stitch, you can also use your stitch width settings to move the needle where you need it to be. You can use the right side of foot as the guide (personally, I like doing that) or you can use the guide lines on your needle plate. Just be mindful that your needle has to be in the proper position (per your manual) in order for you to achieve an accurate seam allowance when the guides are used. I hope that this helps.

I’m trying out the French seam on a pair of skinny jeans that I’m turning into bell bottoms.

Maria- thank you so much for being a dedicated subscriber! I always love seeing your comments. They make me smile! :)

[@laimastem5273]

How does this fare for side seams on a fitted blouse if it curves for the waistline?

[@SewingPartsOnline]

It would look very nice; however, you would want to make sure that it's comfy fabric. With the french seam, it's not stitched down flat, so if it is rough fabric, it can be scratchy. This is not my video, but she explains it well. :) I hope this helps. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rIaTdamho8iqidU

I have learned something new today! Thank you ❤️

[@SewingPartsOnline]

You're very welcome! Isn't it fun learning new things? 😊

[@anaschulz8084]

@@SewingPartsOnline yes! I learned how to sew on a machine when I was 3 believe it or not. I watched my mom and begged her to show me so she did. I had the best dressed Barbie dolls in the world!

[@SewingPartsOnline]

@@anaschulz8084 That's so cool!😊

[@barbra429]

What would be your first and second measurements if the pattern called for a 1/2 inch seam allowance?

[@louisecampbell8094]
