Clean-finished Seam
                                                                                                                                                     







Also called a turned and stitched seam finish.


Description
                                                                                   

    The edges of the seam allowance are turned under and stitched.


Suitable For
                                                                                   

    Light to medium weight fabrics.


Advantages
                                                                                   

    Makes a neat, clean finish that won’t ravel.


Disadvantages
                                                                                   

    Adds bulk to the seam allowance, making it unsuitable for heavier fabrics.


How to Make
                                                                                   

    Press the seam open. Turn each fabric edge under 1/8” to 1/4”. Stitch close to the folded edge
    using a straight stitch.
