    Default seam?????

    Ok this is probably really dumb but here goes..
    When you have a seam open like from turning wrong side right how do you close it without seeing the stitches???
    These things, I warmly wish for you-
    Someone to love, some work to do,
    A bit'o sun, a bit'o cheer.
    And a guardian angel always near.

    Are you talking about a french seam? So you don't see raw edges?

    I was thinking french seam also,but maybe you mean when you turn say a lining right side out and you are left with the opening to close ??? If this is the case and you don't want to machine stitch it, your could use tiny hand stitches, hope this helps ?

    I use a ladder stitch. It's invisible. Search on YouTube. I know there is a good tute there somewhere.
