Posted - Oct 02 2008 : 1:10:17 PM Whenever I see French seams it makes me think of the prom dress that my mom and I made when I was in high school. It was a brocade fabric that raveled terribly. My mom made me hand sew French seams. By the time I got done I haad the technique down pat! Thanks so much for sharing the tutorial - I didn't know how to do a flat fell seam.

Posted - Sep 28 2008 : 01:49:16 AM That is a very helpful tutorial. So it is basically a french seam that has the other side of the seam sewn flat. I get it now!
