4 types of essential seams and how to stitch them
Plain seam: Learn how to sew Plain seam - A plain seam is the simplest type of seam and can be used on almost any item. A plain seam is defined as any seam that attaches two pieces of fabric together with the wrong sides facing. The wrong side is the side of the fabric that doesn’t face outward when the garment or item is completed. The stitch length or type of stitch doesn’t matter, as long as it is one stitch line and it attaches two pieces of fabric.
Edge seam: Learn how to stitch Edge seam with top stitch. This type of seam is just like a plain seam except there is a top stitch added to the edge of the seam for extra strength.
French seam: Learn how to stitch French seam. A French seam should only be used on delicate, lightweight fabric, like chiffon or organza, as the seam uses a lot of material and can get bulky with heavier fabrics. Since the edges of the fabric do not show with this technique, a French seam is also great for garments where you want to hide the seams, like an unlined jacket.
Felled seam: Learn how to stitch Felled seam. A flat-felled seam is an extremely strong closed seam that is often used for items like jeans. It covers the fabric’s raw edges well and keeps the seam flat. Like the french seam, it is a double-stitched, closed seam.
