I would add that pressing the fold (prior to the final stitching) gives an opportunity for a really straight sew. You can see it flat on the ironing board and even without a ruler, you can visually spot any bits that are not even. It obtains a much better result.

I had NO idea that this was the name of the stitch! I don't remember learning it, but it was what I always used to add linings! And that knot to start, seriously, never ever saw this before! LOL! My mother sat me down with needle and thread - in 1949. I was 3. I made most of my clothes in high school and onward - until health problems stopped it. I still love to sew though. Thanks for a great demonstration!

I've been doing this seam for a while I just didn't know this is what it was called. Just something I started doing because I thought it would make it a bit stronger (minus the trimming part - I knew there had to be a way to avoid them being so bulky. I'll remember that tomorrow when I am sewing.) This tutorial was still very helpful to show me the best way to do it. Thank you. This may be my favourite type of seam. :)

I thought a true flat felled seam did not have your first line of stitching, then relied on two passes of your second stitch line.This means that when viewed it looks the same both sides and each side has a line of top thread next to the folded edge and a line of lower bobbin thread further in, so you have to test stitch first to make sure thread tension makes matching stitches. Not sure what this stitch is called, but it is a perfectly good stitch, and is easier, so fine unless you are being fussy!

I really hope I'm wording this right but here goes. I am making a blanket and needed three yards of fabric. The bolt (I think that's what it's called) only had enough for two yards so they ended up giving me what was left on the other bolt which was one yard. So now I have two pieces of fabric, one that is two yards and one that is one yard. How would I go about stitching them together so I'd have three straight yards?
@cassandrasherman4460
7 жыл бұрын
It would probably be better to find a way to make the blanket more symmetrical by perhaps sewing three separated yards together like three blocks instead of one long, two yard block and one short, 1 yard block, if that makes sense... So it is visually consistent. The flat felled seam in this video should work to reduce bulk and if your blacket is just 1 layer, but if that isn't an issue and the blanket yardage is only going to be seen on the right side (like if you are adding a backing, etc) a regular seam would be fine since you wont see the raw edges anyway. Just remember that sewing pieces of fabric together will reduce the size of the total blanket because of the seam allowances.

@@2010stoof This is an ancient comment but I'll answer it for the future. Sewing over pins is -generally- okay as long as they're going across the seam (90 degree angles), but the major risks are the machine sucking up a pin and jamming, or breaking pin/sewing needle and having needle shrapnel flying. Personally I'll sew over thin pins without problem but I suggest to newbies not to. One of those "learn the right way then break the rules later" things.

I would appreciate one video that ACCURATELY explains and illustrates the differences between French seams and flat-felled seams. There's a lot of inconsistency in the terminology used in KZitem videos that feature one or the other of these seams. I even have had the impression that the two terms were interchangeable, but now I don't think that's the case.

Yes you can. some people use a coverstitch sewing machine which is more expensive than a regular sewing machine. coverstitch is faster than doing it with a regular machine. coverstitch machine have to needles but you can get a machine that cover stitches with one needle. I am currently doing it the harder slower way using either a french seam or a flat fell with my regular sewing machine.

Yes. This is an example of a seam that has to be visible but making it more visually pleasing. This is actually a mock flat felled seam. But the flat felled seam, whether mock, fake (faux), or true are designed to look better than a regular seam. But the true flat felled seam also adds alot of strength which is why more high end jeans manufacturers use it. Most other jeans that are normal priced either use a faux or a mock flat felled seam to look like a true flat felled seam that jeans should have for it's strength. :-)
