- My tip was Thread magazine's June/July tip of the month! Here is a rundown on the traditional method of sewing a French seam, and then how and why I modified it, taking a tried and true technique and making it a little bit better. The modified seam begins at 5:59.
MY FAVE SEWING TOOLS: My sewing machine - Babylock Sofia 2
My serger - an old Kenmore

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!!!
Major magazine recognition!! Woohoo!!
Yup, I was pretty excited about that!
What a great tip... Congratulations on being published in Threads
I love this! And it reminds me of one of my sewing instructors! "You must ALWAYS respect the turn of the cloth!"
It looks beautiful. Congratulations on being featured in print, forever immortalized. :))
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..😘♥️🦋
Your creative mind engineered fabulous hints when french seaming sheers 💃💃💃
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.
Thank you. I need to pick up Threads
I've never sewn a French seam and you just set my bar
Thank you for your excellent teaching
Lovely!
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.
Loved this thank you for sharing. Re pressing, my nanak taught me, sew a seam, press a seam. Always x x x
Thank you! ❤
🏆 Congratulations on your Thread’s feature!
Brilliant!!
So pretty and perfec way to take our skill level up a notch. ❤
Great idea! Featured in Threads!
Yup! That was a nice bit of validation.
Looks super neat, great technique!
Thanks so much! It was a game changer for me with delicate fabrics, especially synthetics.
Thank you for sharing. I used your technique on the inside seam of Chiffon sleeves
You should have a link to the magazine, please.
Excellent!
Very lovely
Is there a video on the beautiful top you are wearing. Your videos are so great but I've never seen one like the top your wearing. X
Oh, thank you. I made that top before I had a TH-cam channel!
That is great, but can you do a French seam on a curvy line?
😊
Catherine you are so beautiful i like you
