@theNeverangel Works great! Because curved seams are on the bias, they will naturally "bend" as you go. Just remember that you are sewing very close to the original seam. If you try to stitch the facing/lining too far out, it will pucker around the curve.
@niatSneerG This seam method works best with 1/2" or 5/8" seams (1/4" is so narrow it will be hard to fold under). I'd just add another 1/4" to the seam allowance to give you 1/2". Hope this helps!
@jeffscause The wrong side is the ugly side that goes inside the garment. ;-) Some fabrics don't have a "wrong" side--like solid linens or cottons. But prints have a bright side (which is "right") and a dull or dark side (which is "wrong"). Hope that helps!
@Aja1222 Yes, indeed! You can understitch on any kind of material. Just note that it takes extra care and patience on stretchy materials so you don't end up with puckers. :-)
Hi Jennie! I'm making dresses for the next tea and had to share this with our community. This is a great tutorial, and the seams come out beautiful. I think I like this better than serging them now! Blessings, Theresa
Great video!

How does this work on curved seams?

I was wondering if my project has 1/4 inch seam allowances, how much fabric would I need to add?

This is a great tutorial for me as a beginner. I do not know what the "wrong side of the fabric" is. Can you explain this?

Best finishing video yet! Can this technique be used on all fabrics? Thx.

can you insert boning?

@ctsittin You can, indeed! Just make sure the seam "channels" are wide enough for your boning.

@JoyousHome I'm so glad, Theresa! This is a great way to make sturdy, clean seams. It helps things survive lots of washings, too!
