Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Just what I said to myself. Except I learned in home ec. But it really is a fancy name. LOL
i've always known it as a flat fell seam

before you speak THINK
T – is it True? H – is it Helpful? I – is it Inspiring? N – is it Necessary? K – is it Kind?
I learned this tecnique 50 + years ago in Home Ec when sewing garments.
It would be a brilliant solution for making flimseys that are 'finished' and we could use them for summer spreads, tablecloths etc.. Labor intensive for complicated piecework, but lovely for the simple Modern style.
There is no law that says patchwork needs to be three layers, only quilts

My grandmother finished all of her suits, coats and skirts with the flat felled seam. All the patterns she used were trimmed down so when she made new clothes there was no fabric waste. She taught me how to do this on sofa pillows, pillow cases, curtains, and always used it on things that she wanted a nice finish on.
Yup. Simple Flat-Felled seam. Also called a French Seam. Used a lot on sheer blouses so you won't see any ugly raw edges through it or have fraying to deal with.
Look at the seams running down the insides of your jeans legs... same seam. In that instance, it's for durability.
