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

Re: seam?????
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 ?

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