A plain seam is a strong but simple type of seam that is heavily used in the textiles industry. To make a plain seam..

  1. get two pieces of fabric that you want to sew together
  2. slowly stitch three or four stitches
  3. press the reverse button so that it is strong
  4. sew along the fabric in the line that you want
  5. when you get to the end press the reverse stitch button to finish it off

This means it will be twice the width of seam.Fourth, pin or paste the strip of fabric to the opened seam, ensuring that the strip sits directly over the center of the opened seam.Fifth, turn the fabric so that the strip is underneath and you can sew from the 'finished' or right side of the project. Sew a quarter inch on both sides of the seam line.Finally, remove your basting. You have made a slot seam.

What is a double stitched seam?

.... This question is open to interpretation. Knits and spandex sportwear/swimwear is finished on a serger or overlock machine. Two neat stitch lines appear on the 'right' side of the garment. When you reverse the fabric you see that these stitch lines are connected (overlocked). Double stitched may refer to two rows of stitching you typically see on Denim jeans. This is a flat felled seam- no loose ends or seams to overcast to prevent the denim from unravelling. A double stitched seam may be straight stitching on a seam and then stitching another row alongside it.
