Seam allowance: A predetermined amount of material between the edge of component parts of the garment and the seam line. Too small a seam allowance greatly reduces seam strength, especially in woven fabrics. A seam allowance is measured from the cut edge of fabric to the main line of stitches. Width of a seam allowance is often a factor in judging garment quality, reducing yarn slippage and providing fabric for attraction.
