What is a side seam?

The side seam is a seam in the garment located strategically to fall on the side of the garment. The seams are a way to combine pieces of fabric together. Almost every garment contains a type of seam and most of them have more than one seam. The side seam should fall in the middle of the side of the foot, approximately at the ankle bone or on the side of the upper body, continuing to the center under the arm.

Since people are not the same size backwards. For an average person, the back of the garment must have a larger material in determining where the seam should fall. However, since not all people fall into what was considered an average size, the range of seam allowances depending on the size that the clothing will be completed. If these dimensions are not allowed before sewing, the seam of EITHER clothing will be pulled forward or backwards.

While there are a number of different types of seams, the most commonly used side seam is a flat seam. ReasonEm, why the flat seam is often chosen is that it creates the smallest part of the material at a point to which two pieces of fabric are connected. The flat seam is least visible of all different types of seams, so it is the most common choice for the side seam.

In the production of clothing, the seam is often the most difficult part of the clothing to sew. The seam must not only accommodate the width and width of the person who wears clothing. It must also withstand the wearer's movement by falling into the right center. For this reason, sewing is used to create a side seam often a very tight stitch. The side seam is also quite often a seam in which the zipper appears in clothing.

The side seam is used not only for sewing, but it is, but it is also used in knitting. The most common stitch used for side seams in knitting is the Sitch mattress that relieves any added volume. Whether sewing or knitting, it is important to have a flat side seam.
