Description Take your sewing to the next level by adding professional seam finishes to your projects. Perfect seams are the foundation of a well-sewn garment or project. In this class, ZJ Humbach gives you a quick tutorial on how to ensure your seams are perfect each and every time you sew. You will also be able to download a checklist for sewing perfect seams. Your sewing machine offers you several choices for finishing your seams quickly, easily and professionally. Even if you only have a straight-stitch machine, you can add a custom look with either edge stitching or a turned and stitched seam, which is also called a clean finish. For those with zigzag machines, there are three main options to achieve a professional look. Encased seams are a versatile finish for a wide range of sewing projects. You’ll learn how to do three different styles: self-bound seam, mock French seam, and French seam. Each looks terrific and is easier than you think. Once you learn how, you’ll use these techniques on so many projects! You will be able to practice everything you have learned in the bonus project, a simple tote bag. Practice sewing an encased seam and French seams. You’ll also learn how to make a lined pocket. You can make this bag in less than an hour!
