Next, you put the right sides together and sew a 3/8" seam. The first seam will be the fold. The result is an enclosed raw edge seam. It does add a bit of bulk, but won't ever have any strings. You can, also, use seam binding on the seam to cover it. There is another thing called a French felled seam and a flat felled seam. Google them and choose your poison.
Yes, i used the flat felled seam for the sides but used a plain seam (double stitched) for the sleeves and finished the edges with the zigzag (cuffs were also finished this way). I'm hoping with some more practice will help.
Much thanks
