depends on your field of work is different but
as i know in textile

stitch, noun: is small unit made from interlacing sewing threads(1 or more) in specific way, and the row of repeating that unit forms stitching line that can be straight of zigzag. and this line forming is a result of sewing operation.

usually near the edge. See also sewn seam, glued seam, stapled
seam, thermally bonded seam.)

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).
