Seams and Stitches - Garment Construction

Seam is defined as a line over which two or more fabrics are superimposed over each other. A seam may also contain the row or rows of stitching threads used to superimpose the fabrics. A seam maintains some properties which produce an accurate seam for the garments. The seam is an important thing in the garments manufacturing industry.

Stitch is how an interlacing threads move over and between the two or more superimposed fabrics, joining them. Stitch is also applied at the edges of the fabric to avoid unraveling of ends.

An understanding of how various stitches and seams work in constructing garments is essential. Apparel manufacturing uses about 30 stitch types and about 300 types of seams. A tremendous number of stitch and seam combinations thus are available for garment assembly.
