- Double stitches or what is sometimes called a French seam is an extremely attractive sewing seam mostly used in high quality vinyl or leather sewing applications. You will often see these sewing seams in automotive seating and high-end yachts. The so-called French Seam is a variation of French seams utilized for garments. It has become a decorative stitching which often replaces piping or welting.
Common Names for the French Seam are:
• Top-Stitching Seam
• Double Top-Stitches Reinforced Seam
• Double Fell Seam
• Double Plain On-Top Stitching Seam

I love the look of a french seam and have used it a few times. When I win the lottery, I'm going to buy a Fabricator.
The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million. So... don't hold your breath too long.
It's great when you sew straight lines. Show how the corners are sewn into the rounded parts of the cushion
On the ultrafeed just use a spot on the foot for a reference . Works almost as good as a guide foot .
I've got both an Ultrafeed and Fabricator, but the Ultrafeed gets a lot more use because I can take it with me. The Fabricator is used for "big" projects but I can't say I do a ton of french seams on it. The Ultrafeed is another story. You should consider making that attachment available for the Ultrafeed. I know a lot of people would get a lot of use out of it.
You are correct, we will hopefully have a foot like that in the future. Thanks!!!
@@SailriteDIY That comment was 2 years ago. Please define future for us who have invested in the LSZ1.
@@magnusatheos7301 It's not really possible since the ultrafeed models use the outer feet to do the feeding, whereas the fabricator uses the needle foot to do the walking.
@@cheetoman23 Sailrite has stated in a few comments I've read that it is in the works and should be available soon. Hopefully they aren't lying. There must be a solution.
Sailrite, - when will it be available fot the Ultrafeed models?
Thank you very much sailrite
Your welcome!
Great video. Only thing I would change is to use a heavy-weight roller to better open/flatten the seam before applying the grosgrain and stitching.
منور يا فنان
Nice
Would it have not made sense to provide a link to these specific walking feet?
In your other seam videos you mentioned how strong the seam was, but not in this one. With the grosgrain backing, how strong is this seam?
It is almost as strong as the semi flat felled seam, just one step lower. The main strength is the grosgrain backing holding the two sides together. The first stitch is the weakest, but as long as the two side stitches hold in the backing fabric it will not come under much stress.
I love your tutorials, thank you so much, now can you sell me your posi pin for my given to me Barracuda please
Glad you liked it!!! Sailrite no longer sells the Posi-Pin bushing and nut as stand-alone parts. The Posi-Pin system was developed and patented exclusively for use on Sailrite Sewing Machines and is now only available as a standard feature on new machines or as a custom quoted upgrade, or replacement part for existing older Sailrite branded sewing machine models. (serial number and photos required). If your goal is to increase power and slow speed control on a non-Sailrite portable walking foot machine the option we recommend is the Monster II Balance wheel (www.sailrite.com/Monster-II-Balance-Wheel). It can be used with good success using a standard friction clutch, or it can be locked permanently to the shaft bushing using the included set screws. Please let us know if you have further questions.
Hi - Sailrite no longer sells a 1" Grosgrain Polyester Binding, what would be another recommended material to reinforce the French Seam?
Hi Tara,
We do still sell Grosgrain, you can find a link below.

Do you have or are you planing a foot like this edge guide for the ultra feed line?
We have not started working on a prototype - some of us at Sailrite are wondering if it can be done others here say it can't be done.
@@SailriteDIY gotchya. Thanks. Sounds like I may have to fab up something.
@@SailriteDIY My idea for a fabricated foot won't work, so it looks like we're eyeballing it boyz.
How much is a sailrite sewing machine?
You can see the price for that sewing machine at this link: www.sailrite.com/Sailrite-Fabricator-Sewing-Machine-in-Power-Stand-with-Workhorse-Servo-Motor
Esta no es la costura francesa, la costura francesa se utilizaba principalmente en lencería al no existir las maquinas cover, y consiste en una sobre costura inversa, en la confección de banderas es muy útil para la unión de sus paños.
Si. Tienes razon.
Am in Rwanda how can I get this machine?
We ship worldwide.
You sound like the Diamond Shane Co. guy lol
Now you have a friend in the sewing business.
Great demonstration, but it needs more emphasis on the fact without the grograin, this stitch is pretty weak and useless... I only say anything because I have done several repairs and the biggest issue was no grosgrain. That's why the stitch failed in the first place. It looks good but it's useless without it.
You are totally correct! Thanks for emphasizing this fact.
Hi! What if a strip of sunbrella was used ? Will it still help the seam be strong?
@@talulatree5297 pretty much anything will work, just sewing the material to itself does nothing and the thread will just pull through.
@david78212 oh thank you. I just did some large boat seats that had miles of French seam topstitching. I'm so worried. It looks absolutely beautiful, but it's not upholstered yet. 🙏
That is not a French seam? Nice video but don’t confuse people.
To remove any confusion.....This so-called French Seam is a variation of French seams utilized in making of garments. It has become a decorative stitching which often replaces piping or welting.
This "French Seam" variation is often called: Top-Stitching Seam, Double Top-Stitches Reinforced Seam, Double Fell Seam, Double Plain On-Top Stitching Seam
Sailrite I love your videos. They are wonderful!
@@SailriteDIY The reality is that the double top stitch with reinforced backing originated in the late 1800's as the Luggage Stitch. Unfortunately, most people omit the reinforcement rendering the seam weak and short lived in any high stress environment. Thank you for showing how it's supposed to be done regardless of what you call it.
This is absolutely not a French seam. A French seam is a seam that has incased itself within another seam. It is a finished seam, these are absolutely NOT finished.
Do you sew canvas and upholstery for boats or clothing? Because the terminology is different for those two industries. If you are sewing clothing, you are correct, this is not a french seam in that industry. However, if you are sewing boat upholstery, like vinyl seating, this is referred to as a french seam. I hope that helps answer your question.
