I would appreciate some more details, like if we are sewing right sides together or wrong sides of the fabric together. It did help me to get a start on understanding the process.

Nice video but it's not zoomed in enough to even tell what a french seam is :/

Bad camera and you have a noisy sewing machine

connieineden: French seams are ideal on "sheer" (nearly transparent) fabrics such as chiffon, not "shear" (to cut) ones, as you state. And because the fabric is sheer, you normally want a seam narrower than the half inch you recommend. Trim the first seam very close to stitching, then turn and make about a 1/4" seam.

Not really worth watching. Sorry.

U get the basics of it if you have sewn a little from before but the video is a bit blurry and you need to have some help filming it so you can zoom in a bit, that would help massivly just to zzom cause the way you show the french seem is great and easy to understand..

Can you make more video tutorials but under ur name since E V never label them with numbers and so on...

I must admit, this is a little vague, but thank you for your videos.
