You are articulate and the MOST effective instructor especially when you are demonstrating methods. When you keep your words to a minimum so we can focus on watching as well. Thank you!!!
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.
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..😘♥️🦋
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.
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.

Loved this thank you for sharing. Re pressing, my nanak taught me, sew a seam, press a seam. Always x x x
You should have a link to the magazine, please.
Thank you for sharing. I used your technique on the inside seam of Chiffon sleeves
Looks super neat, great technique!
Thanks so much! It was a game changer for me with delicate fabrics, especially synthetics.
Great idea! Featured in Threads!
Yup! That was a nice bit of validation.

Excellent!
That is great, but can you do a French seam on a curvy line?
Very lovely
