Your sewing machine offers you several choices for finishing your seams quickly, easily and professionally.

For those with zigzag machines, there are three main options to achieve a professional look.

Encased seams are a versatile finish for a wide range of sewing projects. You’ll learn how to do three different styles: self-bound seam, mock French seam, and French seam. Each looks terrific and is easier than you think. Once you learn how, you’ll use these techniques on so many projects!
