1. A <a href=http://www.burdastyle.com/communication/sewpedia/show/336>French seam</a> is a strong seam, often used in couture sewing, because it helps prevent raveling of sheer, lightweight fabrics, like <a href=http://www.burdastyle.com/communication/sewpedia/show/246>chiffons</a>, <a href=http://www.burdastyle.com/communication/sewpedia/show/340>georgettes</a>, <a href=http://www.burdastyle.com/communication/sewpedia/show/137>organza</a>, and <a href=http://www.burdastyle.com/communication/sewpedia/show/136>organdy</a>, without showing serged or raw edges. It is sewn unlike other seams, in that the first stitches are sewn with wrong sides facing, and a casing is made for the edges.
