Bound Seams
The Bound Seam (BS) Class - requires a separate piece of fabric that encompasses the edge of one or more pieces of the garment. These seams are used to finish plain necklines, edges of short sleeves on some styles of T-shirts, and so on. Bound seam may be sewn with a lock stitch, chain stitch, or cover stitch. They would never be sewn with an edge stitch as the knife would cut off the binding
