Loved this thank you for sharing. Re pressing, my nanak taught me, sew a seam, press a seam. Always x x x

[@Maplecook]

Major magazine recognition!! Woohoo!!

[@CatherineSews]

Yup, I was pretty excited about that!

[@aliciazermeno1431]

Thank you for sharing. I used your technique on the inside seam of Chiffon sleeves

[@snyyng]

Great idea! Featured in Threads!

[@CatherineSews]

Yup! That was a nice bit of validation.

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.

Very lovely

[@bluemargo1]

That is great, but can you do a French seam on a curvy line?

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..😘♥️🦋

[@bohorustica8545]

It looks beautiful. Congratulations on being featured in print, forever immortalized. :))

[@lynnephelps2370]

I love this! And it reminds me of one of my sewing instructors! "You must ALWAYS respect the turn of the cloth!"

[@nelled6240]

Thank you for your excellent teaching

[@janabeckman545]

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.

[@robyn3349]

Thank you! ❤

[@vivenna]

Looks super neat, great technique!

[@CatherineSews]

Thanks so much! It was a game changer for me with delicate fabrics, especially synthetics.

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.

[@WalkingScriptureWithShanna]

I've never sewn a French seam and you just set my bar

[@karenwilliams4152]

[@charmainekirk1512]

Excellent!

[@Elaine-yk5uh]

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

[@CatherineSews]

Oh, thank you. I made that top before I had a KZbin channel!
