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).
