It’s awesome you know about Bojagi and introduce about it. I am Korean who lives in NYC and about to start my Bojagi work as another pandemic stay-at-home hobby. Thanks again. Stay safe and healthy.
Thanks for the tutorial! Surprisingly this is the first seam I ever used, to make a reversible flag. Now I'm finally making my first pojagi window hanging :)
I've been wanting to quilt an American flag but I worried about it needing to be double sided, I'm very glad I waited until I happened upon the proper technique to use to come my way! Thank you for your comment!
Perfect explanation. I wanted to make curtains using this technique. I couldn’t remember what it was called. Now I have a nice video to refer to. Thank you. 🕊
Thank you for this, I've had to struggle with my hand translation of a Korean book I've had for years. Very useful to have things confirmed and clearly shown
Great video! I've inherited a bunch of polyester fabric (a silky/satiny kind of mtl) I'm trying to find ways to put it all to use. Thought about making a delicates laundry bag or even produce bag. I've dabbled in quilting the last 10yrs but am not fond of the traditional quilting process I just saw my 1st pojagi video this week Is there any fabric type that might be a challenge with this technique? 🤔
It is a variation of French seam called a flat fell seam. It does get very thick in the seam because of the layers of fabric, so if you are joining two pieces, you probably don't want the seams to line up.
Thank you for this explanation. I just bought the Christmas tree pattern and wasn't quite clear on it, but I am now. I understand you have to offset the two pieces by a scant quarter inch, but I also notice you didn't even up the other two raw edges before stitching the first line of stitches. Is this also a necessary step?
In all my patterns, pieces are made a bit bigger and then trimmed to size. This will help allow for slight differences in seam allowances, since they aren't exact. I'm not sure what you mean by "even up the other two raw edges". If you mean the edges because one edge is longer than the other, then you don't have to made those the same. It is trimmed after it is stitched.
It is personal choice which side you want as the "right" side. Personally, I don't pay any attention to the lines of stitching so each side contains seams with both one and two lines of stitches. In a window hanging, you can't tell the difference and even out of a window it doesn't stand out.
I've never heard of it being called a "Run & Fell" seam. It is the same as a "flat felled seam" commonly used in garment making, so it could be another term for it. The reason I call it a "pojagi seam" is because, as far as I have discovered, traditional Korean sewing is the only place that this seam has been commonly used to make patchwork. So when I use it for patchwork, I use that term to show respect for where the technique came from. It can also be spelled "bojagi" in English.
I like to use batik fabric because it is reversible and easy to find in lots of different colours. When it hangs in a window, it has a beautiful glow. But this seam works with other types of fabric as well. It depends on what you want to make. Try samples with whatever fabric you already have and have fun playing. Check out my tutorials for the friendship star window hanging or stacked bars placemats to get started.
Because I'm using batik fabrics, I just treat them as reversible and ignore "right side" and "wrong side". If you have fabrics with a clear right and wrong side, you can choose to join them either right sides together or wrong sides together. It's a personal choice.
If you use batik fabric, it doesn't really matter. If you have fabric with a clear right and wrong side, you can do either right sides together or wrong sides together.
This is a variation of a French seam that is called a flat fell or flat felled seam. The difference between this and a French seam is that it lays flat. In garment making, it is commonly used in blue jeans.
Yes! You are right - that's the whole point. It's for patchwork projects with no backing, so not for quilts. Think of things like clothing, table cloths or curtains - anytime you might want patchwork but don't want to have multiple layers.
@@EpidaStudio Thank you. I stumbled across your video and was intrigued. I like your style of teaching and looking forward to looking at your other videos.
It is just the same as a jeans seam (technically called a flat felled seam). I call it a "pojagi" seam because as far as I have found, the Korean traditional sewing is the only place that commonly uses this seam for patchwork, so it is a tribute that culture and tradition.

That's great! I had the chance to learn when I lived in Korea for a few years. I really like it.
What a great technique! Thank you! You taught this old dog a new trick!
Thank you made it look so easy one young girl made it so drawn out

You're welcome. Glad it helps.
Thank you. Your introduction is very clear, and the first I’ve see that doesn’t use a specialty presser foot.
I'm glad it was helpful.
I LOVE this and thank you for such a clear tutorial!
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Please share a picture of what you make!
now I understand!! Thank you for a clear tutorial
Such an easy method. Thank you.
thank you, this was the perfect example I was looking for. yay
Glad it was helpful!
Great tutorial! I'm just getting into pojagi and this video is very helpful.
Glad this is helpful
Thank you that was very clear💕
Oh I love this! I’ve been wanting to try this. Thank you!
This was very helpful, thanks!
Muito bom seu tutorial, fácil de entender. Vou tentar fazer! Obrigada por compartilhar
Thank you for this, I've had to struggle with my hand translation of a Korean book I've had for years. Very useful to have things confirmed and clearly shown
I've seen such beautiful pieces online and your tutorial is going to help me recreate some of them!
That's great!
Thank you so much for this tutorial.
Merci beaucoup pour ce tutoriel. Vos explications sont très claires.
Спасибо, все очень понятно.
Those curtains are gorgeous. You’re right about the batiks! Is the white fabric just quilting cotton?
The white fabric is a neutral batik. These are the hardest to find.

Stumbled across this ... flat felled seam???
Should have waited till the end!
Definitely trying it out for patchwork.
Yes it is
Does it get pretty thick when add more peices and folding over? Reminds me of a french seam. Thank you for the clarity of instructions!

Hi. For this method, the right side has one line of stitches, while the wrong side has two? Or is it a personal choice?
It is personal choice which side you want as the "right" side.

Isn't that a 'Run & Fell' seam? I know I'm old and pedantic but in Needlework class at school we had to learn such things

what sort of fabric did you use and also what is the best type of fabric for pojagi
? Thanks!

Are the fabrics in the example wrong sides together?

So is this the same as a French seam? If not what's the difference please?

Thanks for the tutorial. What happens to the ends of the thread or what is done to ensure the sewing doesn't come undone?
The ends of the thread will be stitched into the next seams or the hem, so the are always secure.
Sew twice! Seems a lot of work for patchwork. This would only be nice for projects that need no backing.

It also contributes to the “stained glass” effect
Looks like a jeans seam.

@@EpidaStudio I am really keen to make a curtain like this. I have the perfect window for it. Thank you ☺️
