Although I most often reach for my overlocker due to convenience I do love the finish of a French seam!

I mostly use my overlocker but it really dependson the project. If I'm using a delicate fabric I tend to use a French seam.

I vioted overlocker because I prefer it whenever it's suitable, but I do love doing a proper French or Hong King seam.

A French seam is my very favourite, love how neat the inside of garments look with this seam. I also use a flat felled seam on the shirts I’ve made for my other half.

As everyone else it seems - overlocker mostly , unless the fabric dictates a French seam
