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, apart from any ease. PatternScan Pro shows the length of every edge on the contour, so that can be checked before any fabric is cut.
