Flat-felled Split Seam
Reference: Lapped flat-felled split side seam, Handmade By Carolyn.
- Add a rectangular tab to the dominant pattern piece (e.g. on the front piece if felling towards the back). The tab should start a tad above the top of the split. A half inch width is plenty (trim later).
- Sew WSF stopping at the top of the tab. Snip the non-dominant seam allowance to begin finishing its split and to start trimming in preparation for felling.
- Fell the seam. When reaching the split, continue the fold, folding the tab under to finish the other half of the split.
- Finish as necessary, adding a bar tack at the top of the split.
