When you are sewing or stitching why do you need a seam?

The seam is simply the name of the line that is created when two pieces of fabric are joined together. If you are sewing any two pieces together, the place where they are joined is called the seam. Maybe you are wondering about the seam allowance, which is the amount of fabric alloted to sewing the pieces together. The seam allowance is the distance from the edge you put your line of sewing. In many fabrics that allowance can be very small, but some fabrics require a larger allowance to minimize fraying.

Why do you leave a sewing margin?

When sewing, you'll want to leave a sewing margin (or a "seam allowance") for a couple of reasons:A 5/8" margin (the standard seam allowance) between the stitch and the edge allows for a little reinforcement, and places less stress on the stitch. This will keep the stitch from breaking easily.A margin allows you to later let out the seam, in case you need more room (for example, if a skirt gets too tight, you can loosen it if there's seam allowance).
