For those of you without a serger, what type of seam finishes do you use the most?

The faux or simulated French seam is really interesting!

After ironing the seam open, I turn the raw edge and straight sew it: a plain stitch folded edge on the machine.

Our washing practices have changed drastically. Many people wear something once, and throw it in the laundry. Which is a good policy in my opinion for underwear and socks. Potentially also for tshirts. Assuming you're not doing sweaty or dirty activities in your clothes... If you can keep a garment from being in contact with the sweatiest parts of the body... you can just hang it to air. And wash it after a number of wears. If you spill something, try spot cleaning. If it doesn't solve it, you've still reduced the chance of a stain.

But the fact that wash dresses (which I assume is clothing to wear when doing chores?), and children's and infants wear even CONSIDER plain seams... Huh?

That’s a great point! My grandmother was born in 1918 and I remember she always wore camisoles and slips to protect her clothes from body contact so they could be washed less often.

I was also curious about that. Maybe because they were expected to wear out quicker? I’m not sure!
