An enclosed seam, or a French seam, is a seam that is sewn with the wrong sides of the fabric together. A second seam is usually sewn with the right sides together so that the first seam is enclosed.
To make a French seam you sew your seam right sides together. at 5/8th in.... Then you trim away half of one side of the seam.... Then you press the seam towards the shorter half. Then you fold the longer half over the narrower half and press..... then you stitch up the flat open side..... that makes a double sewn seam called Frenched seaming.

To effectively apply prepasted wallpaper for a seamless and professional finish, start by preparing the wall surface and cutting the wallpaper to the correct size. Activate the adhesive on the wallpaper by soaking it in water for the recommended time. Then, carefully position the wallpaper on the wall, smoothing out any air bubbles or wrinkles with a wallpaper smoother. Trim any excess wallpaper with a sharp blade and allow it to dry completely. Finally, use a seam roller to ensure the edges are securely adhered for a polished look.
