French seam

This seam is most commonly found on sheer fabrics. It is used so that no raw edges are visiable. You place wrong sides together and sew a plain seam with back stitching. Then trim the seam allowance to 1/8. Fold right sides together so that the seam is no longer visiable then sew a plain seam with a seam allowance of 5/8. Back stitch at start&finish
