great video! very well done, and explained it perfectly. Now I will attempt my first French seam.

Looks great and very professional. Obviously a heavy-duty sewing machine. Interesting technique.

Great video!! You're videos are fantastic with clear and consise instructions. Thank you!

that is beautiful. yes, they use this for upholstery. I work in a leather sofa factory.

Great Video! As newbie to this craft, I purchased the Sailrite 111 with the MC-SCR to reupholster a classic car and have practiced this French Seam with an automotive grade vinyl with backing for the seams using a 6 mm stitch, V-92 thread and tension set appropriately. With a few runs of practice I was able to replicate this method successfully but a little concerned about the seam itself and if I am doing something wrong. I did not use the grosgrain binding that was used in this video but used an automotive 1 1/4" backing that is sold in a wholesale automotive upholstery shop that they recommend for these seams. Additionally, I did not use a foam backing material in my practice runs but don't think that attribute much binding strength to this vinyl seam itself. Using a little force, I am able to separate the seams to the point where I can see the backing material behind it (approx. 1/16" and probably more if I tried) and there are no manuals or video's that explain how much effort you should be able to use to pull apart the seams or what is acceptable. That said, any idea how to gauge how much effort could be applied to a seam to consider it acceptable or if from the details of my question--I've overlooked something? What are acceptable stitch lengths for a french seams in automotive grade vinyl as to not tear the material and keep it ascetically pleasing for automotive seats? Any assistance or advice is appreciated!

l have learnt so much from your videos. thankyou from Aotearoa New Zealand

Excellent video, as always. I will certainly use this 'trick' of putting grosgrain along the inside edge, when I rebuild the interior cushions on our boat. French seams that I learned in apparel are quite different and would not benefit from this method. Cindi is clear, concise and expert! Eric's voice over reinforces the method. Go sailrite!

Used this on my boat seats about a year ago looks awesome

I have been researching machines for leather work, after seeing this video I am now leaning towards a Sailrite Ls1. Thank you Angel from The Bay

Absolutely perfect explanation! Thank you!

Really neat work! Thank you!

Great video. I'm thinking of doing a small seat cover and this video answered all my questions.

Great video- clear, informative and to the point. Thank you!

Excelent vídeo very explicit, i'm glad your channel is abeliable for people who realy want to learn from a real profecional people

Excellent work 👍

love that machine!!

Great video, honestly

Great video, thanks guys

Great video. The French seam that I was taught for apparel is a little different from this version. Good information to know, kinda confusing that its called the same thing.

excellent video as always, I need to purchase one of these machines

That was sew helpful!! Thank you for posting it.

Excelente vídeo, me ayudó mucho.

I love it ❤️

In French, we call it : Double surpiqûre plate 😉

Great video, thank you.

Thanks understandably simple

Thank you, very useful.

2:00 the accuracy is prestine! only with 50 years of expirience you get that level :D

Nice presentation, I'm going to attempt it on a leather office chair.

Thanks, very helpful.

Very nicely shown, produced and explained. I make my own motorcycle clothing. Seam strength is really important. I’m considering this method for cowhide leather rather than a full flat felled seam because you only sew through through 2 layers of leather with the French (plus a binding layer) versus 4 layers for for leather. My cowhide is usually 1.8mm thick so that’d be 5.2mm thick! How strong do you consider this french seam?

I'm just learning all this at age 64 and would like to thank you for the video. I heard you say V 92 thread and I looked it up on your site so all good there but I wonder which needle to use, I have a regular home machine of relatively seeming stout construction. but standard type I'm guessing. Thanks again.

very good work💓👍

thank you :)

Makes it looks easy

Thx for info video 👍🏻

What size stitch Length would you Recommend for this ? for doing the Top stitch

Thanks for explanation ❤

Muito Bom parabéns

Im from Chile and really feel the ones to buy one of those

Great video. Very neat outcome. I notice that the first seam is stitched with quite a long stitch. Is this only because your sewing with vinyl. I always that that the seam stitch length would be a shorter stitch but the top stitch is the longer one of the two.

Спасибо.Понравилось.

Nice.. Videoooo... Like it

Perfeito....tks

The narrator really likes to enunciate SEAM.

pretty beutiful 👍

Always enjoy your videos...and still wishing I had a Sailrite machine. But I have an inherited Brother CS 6000i with which I need to make protective covers for two smallish machines used for welding. I have created a pattern from felt and purchased flannel-backed vinyl for the covers from my local fabric store where they recommended regular all-purpose Coats and Clark thread and a denim needle size 14. The covers are for my son’s birthday in 10 days, but now I’m wondering if the notions I have are correct or at least sufficient for the fabric I’ll be using. I can get basting tape, grosgrain binding, and size 16 needles, but I am not familiar with V92 or V69 polyester thread. Is there another name for it? My worry now is that I choose the correct needle and thread so that I don’t split/tear the vinyl as I topstitch/french seam the pieces. Thank you for any guidance you can provide.

Awesome

good machine

Wonder about the advantages of using a twin needle machine.

Great video Which needle are you using ?

Very good ;)

great with Walking foot the Speed of the Maschine is slow in comparision to my monster

When I put on ma leather, and rock to sum Metallica, Delta Parole, Foo Fighters or the Smashing Pumpkins I feel like I can do anything in the whole wide world.

I always wondered how these seams were made..

احسنت جيد جدأ انا اعمل في هذا المجال رائع

Its good.... I used to do that and maybe we could collaborate

Alright, I am fairly confident that this is not a French Seam even in upholstery terms. I looked around to see if the vernacular was somehow different than in garment construction and, so far, the only mention I have found referring to this reinforced double top stitch technique as a french seam is from Sailrite. I really think the narrator just likes to say "Frenccchhhh Seammmm."

I wanted to know the model of this machine ? And can it be used in stitching of upholstery / sofas and arm chairs?? Please revert back asap

Super

Essa máquina e transporte triplo?

I am going ot be sewing a french seam onto a motorcyle seat that doesnt currently have it. How much extra material do I need to add to the edge of my pattern to compensate for the seam? 1/4 or half on each panel?

Very good I need to buy the machine

what thread is used on this visible french seam?

is good

What type of presser foot do I need for sewi g leatherette material

I am reupholstering a couch and am trying to french seam all visible seams. I have a huge curve on the back panel, similar to the front arm of an armchair, I can't seem to figure out how to french seam. Do you guys have any tips for me?

oh boy this is confusing , french seams in apparel and garment making means something totally different

Curious to know what type of sewing machine this is? Is there a certain type or preferred machine for upholstery projects?

Hi, what model or sewing machine it is that ?

what kind of sewing machine do u you use?

Tried it, ended up in stitches

👌 French 👌 👌 Seam 👌

hola amigo soy d marrucos quiero comprar l vinil marin standar ya como contactar

What thread are you using?

Is the needle in the center position?

Indonesia Blora Jawa tengah. Like

When she transitioned from the blue material to white, Dis she continue with the thread without cutting it or did she cut the thread and start a new one? I think she just rotated it, but not sure. Does anyone know which way is correct?

What size stich was used?

Hello, You also sell used machines in double stitch

No back stitch?

Hi I'm looking for a job in this area

The sewing machine 😍, can i know the model

It would be "complementary" to mention stitch length and thread size?

Is that a French or Flat felt seam?

What machine is being used on the French seams?

but what side thread in the bobbin?

What kind of.... seam? Why, I do believe he said a french.... seam...

Awesome video. Will the french seam generally make that joint stronger? We have a small boat and use the rear seats to step in. Over time the seams have ripped due to the pressure of standing on the seats. I'm thinking doing a french seam along those seams will increase the durability. Opinions or experience? Also, have you ever done just a white seat with a couple of seams and top stitch with a different color (blue). Currently I have 3 seams on the seat - one blue/white, one white/white. I was thinking of just making it all white, but top stitching in blue, but I'm not sure it that would just look weird? I don't see anything like that online.

برابو عليكي سيدة محترمة ومحترفة

How exactly do you say...FRENCH....seam?

Looking for a sewing machine, evn a seckant hand

That's easy without 1/2" foam glued to the vinyl.

It seams odd that this was in my suggestions
