- The Full Flat Felled Seam is labor intensive, but for the best-looking sewing seam on the top and bottom sides, strength and water resistance it cannot be beat. How often is it used in sewing canvas projects? Not much, it simply takes too much time to sew this seam.
FULL FLAT FELLED SEAM PROPERTIES:
1. Fabric does not Need to be Cut with a Hotknife
2. Very Attractive Seam
3. Almost Waterproof
4. 100% Fabric Strength
5. One Stitch Hidden from Sun
6. Labor Intensive
7. Uses 3 Times Seam Width (1/2” seam will take up 1 1/2” of fabric)

Nice, thank you for the tutorial
You are welcome!
Great video, my only complaint is that the inside and outside are identical, contrasting colors would have helped me understand what I needed to do
we love your videos and all your products very much, and have learned so much from them!
we repair and sew sails, cushions for sofas for all types of boats. Unfortunately, we cannot trade as much of you as we would like, because Sweden together with the EU wants to punish the US with high import taxes.
we will be sailing to the Caribbean next year so we can start trading again.
Thanks for your kind comment. Sorry to hear about the high import taxes. Have a safe and fun sailing trip to the Caribbean and looking forward to doing business with you soon. Thanks!!!
AMAZING!!!!😀😆😉🤗
You have such great informational videos, and I really appreciate all the work you have put into them. I am just a normal person sewing stuff for the family. My sister now wants me to recover her cushions in her camper van and these videos are really helpful. I am wondering how an average household machine would do with all that double sided tape in one seam? AND Thanks for the fabric Calculator! That is so awesome. I can only dream of having such a machine.....all the Ultrafeed machines look so awesome.
When building cushions you do not want to sew through the double sided tape, if you do the glue will show up when you turn the cushion right-side out. That is why we always use the seamstick basting tape for canvas and upholstery that is 1/4 inch wide. Here is a link: www.sailrite.com/Seamstick-1-4-Basting-Tape-for-Canvas-Upholstery-36-Yards
Hi..what is the name of the scale u used
These videos are so helpful. One thing I hope you do a video on which is still causing me a lot of trouble is how to go over a thick, felled, seam with another felled seam. For example hemming a cuff over a felled seam. On standard feed machines I would use a hump jumper but I can’t figure it out on a walking foot. Every time once the foot is atop the intersection, it stops feeding the fabric. This is killing me!
If a walking foot sewing machine stops feeding over a large bump I typically stop sewing and then rotate the balance wheel by hand until the needle is out of the fabric. Then I lift my presser foot and push the fabric assembly past the bump slightly.Then lower the presser foot and rotate the balance wheel by hand to see if it will now feed. If it does then I operate the foot pedal and continue to sew. I hope this helps.
@@SailriteDIYthank you so much for this. I’m about to make myself a raincoat and was worried about ripping the fabric.

Do you need seam sealer for total waterproofness, or is the flat felled seam enough in itself?
The full flat felled seam results in a seam that is almost waterproof, but could not be considered "total" waterproofnes, because you still have needle holes. You may still need a seam sealer, but chances are you will not.
How do you sew a flat felled seam in a curve? Moving the fabric over assumes a straight line.
It is possible, you just follow the curve when sewing the top stitches.
Is it possible to do this on boxed corners?
