Shirt Sleeve Seams

17 years ago

Hello,

I'm trying to wrap my head around how the seam, running the length of the sleeve, is sewn in commercially made shirts. It appears to be a simple flat felled seam. But how is this achieved considering the sleeve is a tube? Is there a specialized commercial machine with a long skinny arm that fits down the sleeve? Is it possible to make this seam at home?

Just hoping someone can shed some light while I await my copy of David Coffin's book.

Cheers.
