Fat felled seam

[Kovant]

Hello
As I say in another post (I ask about machines), I want to start making leather jackets but I have a problem. I don't know how to make a flat felled seam on the sleeves (sewing machine, not handmade).
I'm going crazy searching and I can't find anything about it.
Can someone help me?
Thanks!

What machine are you using? Flat felled seam are sometimes referred to as lap seams.

A couple of video's for you to look at:

1. No attachment and basic principals : www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1vJzVW2lLk

2. With a Lap Seam Folder on Hightex / Cowboy double needle: www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmxvdtlWdZQ

Hope this helps,

Thanks, but my doubt is how to do it on the sleeves (to "close" the sleeve).

Best regards

I would think you would use an up the arm machine or a patcher.

Another thought would be to construct the sleeve similar to a pant leg where you would do the lap seam first and then the inseam. The down side is that you would have a second seam rather then a cylinder with just the lap seam. The up side is you could use a regular flatbed or cylinder machine with a table top attachment.

Just my thought,

I don't quite understand. One of the seams would still be "simple", no?

Thanks

Think of a pair of jeans. The outside seam is Lap Seam (sewn first) and the other seam (inside seam) is just a simple seam sewn with the material inside out.
