A self-enclosed seam is one in which the fabric is folded over twice, so that the raw edge is not exposed. Some disadvatages may be:

  • It can be a bit bulky, as it creates 3 layers of fabric
  • It shortens the hemline more, so you have to account for that while cutting your fabric
  • It can create a weight at your hemline, which may make the fabric drape improperly

How do you make an English seam?

To make an English seam, start by placing two pieces of fabric right sides together and sew a straight stitch along the seam allowance, typically 1/4 inch. Trim the seam allowance to reduce bulk, then fold the fabric over so the raw edges are enclosed, pressing it flat. Finally, sew another straight stitch along the folded edge to secure the seam, creating a neat finish on both sides. This technique is ideal for lightweight fabrics and adds durability and a polished look to the garment.
