This seam is flat and is used for under garments. The machine run and fell seam is a strong seam with two rows of machining showing on the right side. It is often used on shirts, jeans and pyjamas. The seam is flat and it is made on the right side of the garment. The seam can be decorative especially if stitched with thread of contrasting colour. For printed materials, it is made on the wrong side of the garment. Running stitches and Hemming stitches are used for a run and fell seam which is worked by hand on the wrong side of the garment.

How to make Run and Fell seam

1) Place two pieces of material together with the wrong sides facing each other;
2) Tack and machine on the fitting line or use running stitches for a run and fell seam;
3) Trim away the seam allowance on one turning (back edge) to about O.5cm
4) Trim the seam allowance of the other turning (front edge) to about 1 cm;
5) Fold the front turning over the shorter back turning and tack through three layers of material;
6) Open up the material so that the folded edge lies towards the back of the garment. Press flat and tack the folded edge down.
7) Machine close to the folded edge or use hemming stitches for run and fell.
8) Remove tacking and press
