What is a good seam and what is a bad seam?

Do you know what a good seam is and what a bad seam is? It is important to know this when sewing because, like most things I have talked about, it can affect the presentation of your work.

Also, the quality of your work depends a lot on your seams.

Let's start from the start: What is a seam?

The definition for a seam is a line where two pieces of fabric are sewn together in a garment or other article.

A good seam is a seam that:

- is strong when you pull it [ meaning it does not fall apart ]
- is hard to see the stitches
- has no gaps/looseness

A bad seam is the complete opposite of this.
