Questions
- Give three characteristics of a well-made French seam.
Answers
- A well-made French seam has the following characteristics:
- All raw edges are enclosed: This prevents fraying and gives a clean finish to the seam, enhancing durability.
- Has straight stitchery: The stitches should be straight and evenly spaced, which contributes to the overall neatness and strength of the seam.
- Seam allowances width is uniform/even throughout: Consistency in seam allowance width ensures that the seam lays flat and maintains the integrity of the garment’s structure.
