Significance and use of seam on Garments
Seam types are the place where two pieces of fabric are joined by application of a series of stitches or stitch types with a defined geometry. Over the years there are a number of different types of seams that have been developed to do different jobs. Many have largely been superseded by the development of machine stitches that finish as you sew them, and by the development of the overlock (or serger in some parts of the world), it is useful to know some of the basic seams types and finishes.
