How to Sew...
Pinked Edge:

With Right sides together, sew along the edge of the fabric with at least a 3/8" seam allowance.



Press the seam flat. Then, Open the seam and press it open.



Fold all the pieces towards one side  except one of the seam allowances. Top Stitch a line on the center of the seam allowance.



Repeat with the other side


With Pinking Shears, cut the excess fabric of the edge of both seam allowances.


This is a great seam finish, but I recommend using it with a stable fabric the won't fray easily.

How to Sew... French Seam: With WRONG sides together, sew along the edge of the fabric with a 1/4" seam allowance. Trim the seam allowance to be about half the width. Press the seams towards one side.   Fold the fabric with right sides together along the stitching line and press it to keep it in place.. Stitch along the folded edge at 1/4" from the edge. Make sure you are enclosing any unfinished fabric.  Press the finished seam towards the back of the garment. This is a neat and pretty finish but really bulky encasing 5 layers of fabric, which is why is not suitable for everything .  This seam is used with shear  an d lightweight  fabric that frays  easily.   For the full video Tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8G0mRBlAP58

How to Sew... Hong Kong or Bound Seam: With right sides together, sew along the edge of the fabric with at least a 3/8" seam allowance. Press the seam open. Using 1/4" double fold bias tape, stitch along the raw edge of each seam allowance. You can use a bias tape foot for easier and faster binding. This is a neat and beautiful finish but unpractical. It takes a long time to make, extra material cost and too much bulk.   For the full video Tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8G0mRBlAP58
