Flat Felled Seams…. a tutorial!

Monday, April 12th, 2010

What is a flat felled seam?? I am so glad you asked! It is a reinforced decorative seam that is totally enclosed on both right and wrong sides of the garment, making it a good choice for reversible garments. It is also what I call a “jeans seam”. This  is also a great seam for home dec projects and bags. Just follow along and you will have very professional looking seams!

Step 1:  Sew seam at 5/8 of an inch. WAIT…..Wrong sides together!!!

Step 2:  Press both sides to the one side.

Step 3:  Trim away the seam allowance on the bottom.

Step 4:  Turn seam allowance under and press down. This is the step that makes it decorative, enclosed,  reversible and very sturdy. Awesome.

Step 5:  Now, stitch down the edge you have just pressed.

Is that not the coolest?? And how easy was that?

The  BERNINA Foot #38 will make your sewing even easier! The bi-level base of this foot is ideal for sewing where one side of the presser foot must ride over muliple thicknesses and the other side over a single layer. Perfect for flat felled seams, attaching braid and attaching hook and loop tape.

Have fun sewing!!
