Which term would you use to describe the row of stitches formed when fabric is joined?

• A. Nylon
• B. Clipping
• C. Right Side
• D. Seam

Answer: (D)

A seam is the row of stitches that joins two pieces of fabric along their edges. When you sew pieces together, you align the edges and stitch along the seam line, forming the joined edge of the garment or item. This stitched line is what holds the fabric pieces together and is typically accompanied by seam allowances—extra fabric beyond the stitch line to add strength and shape. Nylon describes a material or thread, not the stitch line itself; clipping is trimming the seam allowances or curves to reduce bulk; and Right Side refers to the fabric’s outer face, not the stitch line.
