If your iron is not flattening the seam as well as you would like, try using a clapper. If that doesn't work, a rubber mallet can be used to beat it flat. Also, if the back stitching for your top stitching won't be hidden within another seam, in lieu of back stitching, leave long thread tails. Then, using a hand sewing needle pull the "right side of fabric" tail to the underside and hand tie a knot. Thank you for a lovely tutorial!

Hi, thank you, I have a shirt to make smaller and the seams will look so much better sewn with the new seams. I love watching you as you always give me new ideas for my sewing which is a hobby I have had for more years than I care to remember. Hope you have a good week.

Thank you for such good instructions. I will be fixing a skirt with elastic in the waist.The skirt is navy on one side and kakhi on the other side. It can be reversible. Do you have any tips on how to stitch this and fix the hem?

That's really interesting that a flat-felled seam is sewn from the outside. I learnt how to do it from Bernadette Banner (which is a hand-sewing method, although I do the primary seam by machine), and works from the inside, with a normal right-sides-together seam, then instead of topstitching from the outside, hand-fells from the inside. Same fabric folding, much less visible from the outside (and works well on curved areas, with hand-sewing persuasion :-) )

Then there is my method. Sew the material wrong sides together. Turn the material right sides together. Press seam fold. Stitch seam fold down and then topstitch. There is the method that was taught in home ec. Press seam of one panel to the front. Press the seam to the other panel to the back. Slide the seams into each other and sew. 4 ways to stitch a flat felled seam and 2 are not fussy.

Hi. I’m a bit confused. In the first example you used contrasting thread to sew the original seam. Am I correct in saying that when you trim the seam allowance your sample has been sewn with matching thread?

Isn't it annoying when the influencer and maker of the video doesn't reply! Yes, she used the same coloured thread as the fabric, but on jeans there is a contrasting thread; so the top stitch is visible. I don't like this method of flat felling - the trimmed seam is now weak and could split.

Hi Lucy, could the foot your.using be used on the brother innovis 1800 as the brother seam gauge foot is not as obvious to use as yours?
