We want to know the names of all kind of seams in English. I know French seam wich is called in the Netherlands an English seam.
But I need the names from lots of other seams.
My daughter is on a fashion/sewing school and because of my mom passing away and because of the funeral she missed some important lessons. So I was thinking maybe it is on You Tube how to sew those seams. But I don't know the English translation of all those seams and the Babelfish translator isn't a good help with these.
Maybe you can help us out. :)

Another good site is diceyhome.free-online.co.uk/ It is under seam types. If you go to the Table of Contents, it gives other good information about sewing.
