Seam

German:
Naht

A seam joins two layers of fabric. On the pattern it corresponds to a seam line along which the pieces are put together.

In the file

Two edges that get sewn together have to be the same length. On a digitized pattern you can measure that before any fabric is cut, which is harder to do reliably on paper.
