A flat felled seam is an overlapping seam sewn flat. It is made by placing one edge inside a folded edge of fabric, then stitching the fold down. It is very useful for keeping the seam allowances flat and covering all raw edges. It is used for is extreme durability and can commonly be found on jeans, menswear and home decoration projects.
Decorative touches can be added by using contrasting thread. The best results are achieved on medium to heavy-weight fabrics.

Place the wrong sides of the fabrics together and overlap the raw edges by using the red markings on the foot as a guide.

markings on the Flat-Felled Foot as a guide for both layers. Cut off 6mm from the top
seam allowance. Then continue with step 4.
