Most of the time I don't finish my seams (except pinking shears) when sewing as it adds time and can add cost, but if you are sewing something you want to last, making a higher-end piece, using expensive fabric or alternately an inexpensive fabric or one that prone unravel or lose its shape, it is a good idea to finish the seam as it will help it to last longer and look more professional.
I had not seen or heard of this method before and read on it on a blog I follow, Sew-Easy.
It involves sewing a seam binding to one edge, folding it over half over the seam and stitching it down. I like the clean look it has in the pictures above. I have been thinking about making a coat and if I do, I think I will try this method.
