How to Sew a French Seam with a Split - DIY Step by Step Sewing Tutorial for a Professional Finish

Easy to follow, step by step, clear and concise tutorial on how to sew a French Seam with a split. No need to trim any seams for a beautiful professional finish.

As most commercial patterns are made with a ⅝” seam allowance, this tutorial guides you through using that measurement.

If you want to sew with industry standards, or you are using a very fine or sheer fabric for your project, adjust your seam allowances on your pattern to ⅜”. Stitch the first seam with a ⅛” seam allowance and follow with ¼” for the second row of stitching.

It’s a very neat and clean finish for any sewing project with a split. Especially useful when you don’t own a serger or overlocker.

**Do not use this finish for thick or heavy fabrics. Those are more suited to be finished with a flat felled seam.

It’s important to be very precise with your stitching as you need to cut right into a corner that needs flipping to other side.

It doesn’t take long to master even for beginner sewists and the result is impressive!
