Step 6Alternate 2: zigzag and topstitch
If you don't have a serger, you can use a zigzag stitch instead. Trim both seam allowances to 3/8 inch and zigzag stitch along the edge using a short, wide stitch. Again the topstitching is the same as for a true flat-felled seam.
Note that if you think far enough ahead, you can adjust your pattern to reflect the 3/8 inch seam allowance instead of using 5/8 and trimming it down after stitching. Assuming you know you won't have to alter the finished garment outwards, of course!
