  5. Seam class 5: Decorative seam 
  6. Seam class 6: Edge neatening 
  7. Seam class 7: Attaching of separate items

Seam class 1: Super-imposed seam


Fabric is obtained by stitching together two or more separate pieces of fabric.
Used most commonly.
The ends of the fabric are identical.
SSa is the most basic overlaid fabric.
More than 50 updates. •
A number of machines will stitch this class seam.
For example Lock m / c or overlock stitch.

Seam class 2: Lapped Seam


Two or more pieces of fabric overlap each other for this type of seam.
Two ends sewn of the fabric are the opposite.
Usually, the machine uses two-needle chains.
The seam is very strong in this class.

Seam class 3: Bound Seam

A seam bonding is one piece of tissue that includes another piece of tissue's raw edge.
The bound seam is built to finish the clothing bottom.
Sometimes used as an item of decoration.
18 variations in the binding seam are available.

Seam Class 4: Flat Seam


Two pieces of fabric exactly fit their edges are formed by the flat seam.
The comparatively small thickness of the edge.
Capable of generating zigzag stitch.
Before stitching the edge should be washed to prevent attempts.

Seam class 5: Decorative Seam

This kind of seam is produced by making one or more adjoining stitch lines in one or more layers of fabric. The multi-needle sewing machine is used. The seam under this class is produced for decorative purposes only.

Seam class 6: Edge Neatening


The seam under this class is produced in such a way that the fabric ends out of the area can not come out during use.
It can be widely used. It can be made by a lock machine.

Seam class 7: Attaching of separate items

They are sometimes referred to as applied seam because they are mainly used as decorative material on the edge of the seam, such as lace elastic.
Similar to lapped (Class 2), but the attached component is extended limited from the sewn line on both sides.

Seam class 8: Single Ply Construction

Mainly a piece of the fabric used. This class is commonly used for waist belts and loop belts. The edges of the fabric are sewn by folding in different ways.
