A few thoughts... 1. I'm not sure what you mean by a Hybrid French seam. This is a French seam. 2. I would remind sewists to only melt a poly thread. Make sure they aren't burning a cotton thread or something they aren't sure of the content. 3. the best way to get a crisp edge after the first seam and before the second seam- is to open the fabric flat on the table and use the back of your thumbnail to crease the seam allowance to one side, then fold the fabric right sides together. 4. since the finished seam depth is determined by the distance from the fabric cut edge to the needle, you can change needle position, but if you don't say where you are placing the cut edge of the fabric then there isn't enough information for the sewist. It would be clearer to stipulate to place the cut fabric edge along the right edge under the presser foot, for both seams, that way when the needle position is far right the first seam will be a small bite and when the needle is returned to center, the seam will be a larger one and sure to enclose the first seam. Nothing is more frustrating than ripping the second seam because the seam allowance is peeking out. Keep sewing people!

Don't forget to stitch the first seam slightly narrower than the second stitch, so tat the raw edge wouldn't stick out of the final seam. I.e. make first stitch 5 millimeters, and second 7 millimeters.

Nice.... More close-ups though.... I'm a greenhorn.

Pretty similar to a flat-fell seam reversed so the allowance is on the wrong side. Nice. Thanks.

Yes, it is very similar!

This is a good video on how to do this with two separate pieces of fabric that you can easily manipulate, but how do you do such a stitch on a dry bag that is constructed from a single piece of fabric such as the dry bags you mentioned?

Great question! To be honest, it's fairly difficult, but still very doable. It's important to manipulate the fabric around the pressure foot. So if you start at the top of the dry bag and work your way down, after you finish a chunk of stitches, you then need to pull the finished part of the dry bag through the back of the feeding area so you can see the unsewn area. it's hard to explain but you'll get it if you practice. Maybe we can do a video on this topic sometime!

@@RipstopbytheRoll I managed to get the felled seam down the long side of the bag correct, but gave up trying to fell the seam of the closed bottom. I ended up finishing it with a top stitch, which is what it looked like you did for you modified French seam in your Hyper D dry bag experiment video. The side seam was visible in that video, but it would be nice to see how you sealed the that seam on the bottom as well

The demonstration is helpful, but ramping up that music between the verbal comments is pretty annoying. :(

What do you set the tension on for x-pac v21? and what thread were you using?

We were using Gutermann MARA 50. As for the thread tension - we had it set nearly in the middle. Your machine may vary, so make sure to test on scraps first!
