Can somebody point me to a tread with a good diagram of a modified french seam. I would like to start on my DIY tarp tonight and can't seem to find a diagram for the Modified french. I've practiced on a couple of pieces of fabric with the flat felled seam and would like to try the other before proceeding.
Thanks
Hope this helps.

That is the seam i practiced with. I thought i read in a tread along the way that the Modified French Seam was a little different. I may be wrong.
No your right wq1, there is a thread SOMEWHERE....Its buried in another thread tho??? I'm looking...

Thank you....Thats the one i remembered seeing. I'm going to give that a try and then jump in the deep end!
That is not technically a flat felled seam. It is a modified french seam. The flat felled seam has some different folds.
I may be slow... But I sure am gimpy.
