Seams
Seams are formed by sewing two or more pieces of fabric together, but the basis of seam classification is the position of the pieces relative to each other. Many variations in fabric position and treatment account for the many different types of seams in each classification. The Federal Standard 751a, which is the basis of stitch classes identifies four seam classes and two stitching classes. Each class includes many seam types.

Stitching Class
Stitching Classes - The two stitching classes are ornamental stitching (OS) and edge finishing (EF). The finishing of either of these classes is performed on a single piece of fabric. The fabric may be folded in a variety of ways so that the stitching may be through more than one thickness, but it remains a single piece of fabric.
Edge finishing is stitching that encompasses the cut edge or provides a finish for a single ply of fabric with a folded edge configuration. Stitches from any of the classes may be used depending on the type of fold and placement of stitching. Ornamental stitching may be used on a single ply for decorative purposes. It can be done anywhere on the garment except the edge. The decorative stitching may be used on jeans pockets, logos, and pin tucks.
