In this class we'll teach you several common seam finishing techniques to ensure your makes last. Several techniques are meant to simply ensure your seams are stable and clean, while others will make the inside of your garments look as amazing as the outside. Some of the techniques we'll cover include:
- French Seams
- Flat Felled Seams
- Bound Seams including Hong Kong Bound Seams
