Lloydc Report post Posted May 13, 2023 I’m making a handbag that needs a long gusset running side to side. Sadly, I don’t have a piece of leather long enough. I want to join two pieces at the center of the bottom of the bag. What kind of seam do I need for that purpose. The gusset will be joined to the front panel with a piped seam and to the back with a simple seam, which I’ll finish with with a binding that will continue all the way around the flap. Thanks for any suggestions. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fredk Report post Posted May 13, 2023 I would skive the ends of both pieces, back about 2 inches or so, overlap, glue and use a simple running stitch in two places, both near, but not to close to the ends of the over lap Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lloydc Report post Posted May 13, 2023 Found the answer on the CORTER YouTube channel. A French seam does the trick. Thanks for your input. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
