No, a french seam should not require you to add seam allowance. Let's say you're sewing with 5/8" seam allowance. Your first seam (with wrong sides together) will be 1/4" (for math's sake, remember that 1/4 is the same as 2/8), then, your second seam (with right sides together) will be 3/8". <br />2/8 + 3/8 = 5/8 <br /><br />Or, if you were sewing with 1/2" seam allowance, your first seam would be 1/4", you could then trim it just a tad (to be sure it is entirely hidden within the second seam), and your second seam would be another 1/4". <br />1/4 + 1/4 = 1/2 <br /><br />Does that help? Let me know if you have other questions. Enjoy exploring the other posts, there's new stuff coming out soon!<br /><br />-HannahHannah Arosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16717716119024064852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3483068238553230046.post-63508080981198254532016-01-04T22:17:16.162-08:002016-01-04T22:17:16.162-08:00Hello!

With the french seam, do you have to add additional seam allowance for this? Say if I was making a pillow and used the method, would I need to make adjustments to how much fabric I need? Hopefully my question is not making this more confusing than I already am. Ha! I look forward to exploring the rest of your site.ElleAlexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04592120338627553771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3483068238553230046.post-9590934401559567462015-10-07T08:43:32.578-07:002015-10-07T08:43:32.578-07:00It really is useful in some applications, but I fi...It really is useful in some applications, but I find myself avoiding it, haha.
