depends on your field of work is different but

as i know in textile

seam: is more about 1)how two or more fabrics are superimpose with each other + 2)how much row of stitching(sewing line) is used to join those fabrics.

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.

stitch, verb: is almost same with "sew" but mostly used for small pieces with hand sewing.

however i put the definitions from ASTM standard(D6193) too:

3.1.2 seam, n---a line where two or more fabrics are joined,

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

seam, thermally bonded seam.)

3.1.11 sewn seam, n---in sewn fabrics, a juncture at which

two or more planar structures such as textile fabrics, are joined

by sewing, usually near the edge.

3.1.12 stitch, n---in sewing, the configuration of the interlacing

of sewing thread in a specific repeated unit.

3.1.15 stitch type, n---in sewn seams, a numerical designation

relating to the essential characteristics of the interlacing of

sewing thread(s) in a specified stitch.

3.1.16 stitching, n---a series of stitches embodied in a

material or materials of planar structure such as woven textile

fabrics usually for ornamental purposes or finishing an edge, or

both.

3.1.8 seam type, n---in sewn fabrics, an alphanumeric designation

relating to the essential characteristics of fabric

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).
