Overlapped Seam Construction

An overlapping seam is often used in sail making and some canvas work, especially when sewing awnings, canopies, and some covers. It is the easiest seam to create and sew.
OVERLAPPING SEAM PROPERTIES:
1. Fabric Should be Cut with a Hotknife
2. Easy to Sew
3. Efficient Fabric Usage (1/2” seam will take up 1/2” of fabric)
4. 90% Fabric Strength
5. Not as Water Resistant
6. Threads are Exposed to the Sun

Thanks for making these videos! I just came across this channel today and already have learned so much. You guys do an excellent job of explaining and demonstrating exactly the material (pun intended) that you want to share with the world. Keep up the great work!

Hello

[@alisonburgess345]

Wow - what a machine. That thread looks really heavy duty too. Do people use your machines for dress making as well as these upholstery, blinds, cushion and canvas projects? Also, is the hot knife connected to the mains power? I didn’t catch whether it has a cord attached or whether it’s battery operated. Thanks..

The thread we are using here is V-92 Polyester. Yes, people use this machine for upholstery, blinds and cushions. In fact we have hundreds of videos showing projects like that using the Sailrite Ultrafeed to sew them. Here is one of the most recent videos on building slatted roman shades: th-cam.com/video/7aV4JIUVvMI/w-d-xo.html The Edge Hotknife is plugged into a 110 volt wall outlet, but we have a brand new Cordless Edge Hotknife being made now for our great customers, it is coming soon, be watching our website and TH-cam channel for it.
