Lapped seam

A lapped seam is formed when one fabric layer is lapped over the other and topstitched in place. To do this you place one fabric on top of the other. Then you stitch back and front to secure the fabric and make a parallel seam.

  1. Your seam is sewn well. Watch out for how wide your seam is. Try to aim for 1/2 to 5/8 distance. Also, make sure your fabric edges line up, or trim them to match for a cleaner look. Great description!
