Thanks so much for clearing that up!

Hi Leah, Thanks again for the quick response. Both seams have two rows of stitching on both the outside and inside; however the look of the stitches is different between the two which makes me wonder if this was sewn on a different type of machine. For reference, I bought this shirt in Italy a couple of years ago, but I also checked my Charles Tyrwhitt shirts and Banana Republic shirts and the stitching is the same on all of them (double interlock (?) on the inside and single row on the outside). Thanks, Brian

Hi Leah, Thanks for responding so quickly and linking to the video. I have attached a couple of pictures to better explain my question. The striped shirt is store bought and the felled side of the seams both point toward the front of the shirt and away from each other. The purple shirt is my practice shirt and the felled side of the seams (both sewed hem to cuff) face away from each other...one pointing to the front and one pointing to the back. Without going from cuff to hem on one of the seams, is there a way of orienting the seams as in the striped shirt so they face away from each other? Does it matter in the end? Sorry if this is an elementary question, but I want to be sure I am starting out correctly. Thanks, Brian
