Seam and Seam Allowances
Seams are lines of stitching that put 2 pieces of fabric together. The seam allowance is how much fabric was allotted to sew the two pieces together. The seam allowance can be anywhere from ¼” to 1” depending on what you will be sewing.

Finishing your seams keeps your seam allowances from fraying and gives your project that finished or polished look. Look for ways to finish your seam allowances on my blog titled “Finishing your seams”.
