it quacks like a kilt

I was thinking that a French seam was the same as an Hongkong finnish, but it sounds a little different...

* Oh wait, I understand what you did there. I just got the terms mixed up. Never mind. *

Huh, and I was just about to explain how to do a french seam... Well, now I won't, so there. (insert smiley conveying ironic sulk)

Btw, I'm surprised a french seam worked well (as it appears to have done) with duck cloth, it's generally considered a bad idea when working with heavy fabrics. But apparently it works if you press the living daylight out of it!
