I know any of you that have had any type of sewing class or experience with sewing are familiar with a seam. A seam is basically where two pieces of fabric meet or are joined together….not very complicated huh?

There are many different types of seams used in garment construction and just for decoration purposes by some designers here are some of the different types I have found more commonly used:

Plain Flat Seam: Most flat seams can be finished with a serger which will place a looping stitch on the underside to keep it from unraveling.

Flat Felled Seam or Simulated: It is a more durable seam mostly seen on jeans where a stronger seam is needed to hold the fabric together. It has a double row of stitching as you can see as opposed to the plain seam.

French Seams: Used on mostly on delicate fabrics and it is more time consuming to perform this type of seam. A seam is sewn on the right side of the fabric and then the right sides are placed together and another line is stitched over in the process enclosing the other seam.
