Plain Seam A plain seam is the simplest method to use in sewing when joining two pieces of fabric together.
Pinked Seam A pinked seam is used with pinking shears to create a neat zig zag and is another option when the seams aren’t serged together.
French Seam French seams enclose any raw edges and create a clean look in the inside. This is a more expensive seam seen in dresses, skirts and blouses.
Top-Stitched Seam A top-stitched seam is a plain seam with a top-stitch finishing along the edges. The top stitching provides a decorative, but durable touch.
Flat-Felled Seam A flat-felled seam is a popular seam mostly seen in jeans and is used for keeping seam allowances flat and covering raw edges. This seam is recommended for thick and heavyweight fabrics.
