Deference Between Seam and Stitch

Answer:

A Seam is defined as a line where two or more fabrics (or other sheet material) are joined together by means of stitches. For example, a superimposed seam – when two plies, one placed above another and is sewn together.


A Stitch is defined as the configuration of the interlacing of sewing thread in a specific repeated unit.

A stitch can be defined as a formation of thread for the purpose of making a seam or stitching.

Stitch is made to join two or multiple fabric or other sheet together.
