This is a method used to make materials more waterproof by putting a waterproof tape or liquid sealant along the seams (usually on the inside so it can't be seen.)

~

A couple different ways I seam-seal is buying a product, tho similar to super glue...IS NOT super glue. DRIZ sewing products....carries FRAY CHECK. A simple dot along the fray line of the fabric, helps to seal it.

I also do stay stitching, which is sewing along the edge of the fabric you will finish sewing to make the end product. My fine fabrics (rayon, etc) are treated this way.

Another, which is trickier......I lite a votive candle and quickly but carefully run the seam end piece by it, to create a chemically/heated sealing. This works ONLY on non-organic fabrics.
