I have been making magic pillowcases for my family, I use French seams to make the inside just as nice and finished as the outside.

I'm making a linen jacket with silk accents (pockets, button tabs, etc.); a copy of one I've worn for 10+ years. The original has french seams at shoulder and side seams. perfect for linen!!

I’m going to attempt some summer tops, skirts, and dresses. I think this would give them a proper finish. The fabric is rayon or a cotton/linen blend.

I've been looking for a seam that will allow me to increase the size of my Flat Sheet without a noticeable seam showing. With one change I will be sewing down the seam as in your Flat Felled Seam tutorial. Thanks

I'm using a French seam on an heirloom baptism gown that I am making. I will use it joining the front and back as well as the lining side seams. I just think it is a nicer look than serging those seams.

I am trying to recreate Wednesday Raven Gown for my 4 year old grandaughter for Halloween. Organza and satin scary.

Why do you press open the seam if you're going to fold it back onto itself when it is encased?

[shawnagunn]

I am brand new to sewing and I know I am gonna sound like an idiot but i have to ask.
The stitch width setting on the sewing machine moves the needle to measure desired width of seam from needle to edge of pressure foot?

I have used the French seam when making lingerie.

How does this fare for side seams on a fitted blouse if it curves for the waistline?

[gaminggecko]

I’m trying out the French seam on a pair of skinny jeans that I’m turning into bell bottoms.

What would be your first and second measurements if the pattern called for a 1/2 inch seam allowance?
