So, I bought this women’s top pattern to make tops for my wife and daughter. On the outside, the pattern says “Sew Easy.” I open up the pack and start reading. Sure enough, it says to join front to back with “French seams.” (NOT “So Easy”) I’m basically a beginner here. I’m thinkin’, “What the heck is a “French seam?” “Youtube! They’ve GOT to have it!” Sure enough, you’ve taught me a new technique! You make it seem so simple, which I’m sure it’s going to be. Thank you SO Much! :-)

Thanks! I was looking up a tutorial for something and it said to use a French seam and I had no idea how to do it. You explained this very clearly.

The video was very useful in understanding how to do a french seam. My pattern calls for 1/4″ and then 3/8″ which is a total of 5/8″. :D

@BoredomTakeover The grid is printed on a pressing pad. A pressing pad is an insulated pad used for ironing. It’s easier to use for me to use the pressing pad compared to lugging out the ironing board for small pressing jobs. I’ve never needed a grid to do any pressing, but I suppose quilters may find it useful.

@1:46 what is that grid paper? and what is it used for?

Aha! I *finally* understand this. Thank you so much! And the way you do it seems easier too, than how I read of how to do it (no trimming and such). Thank you again! :)
