A Plain Seam is made with a single line of stitching

inside the matched edges of two pieces of material.

Plain Seams are best used for thinner fabrics and looser
garments, like flowing t-shirts and blouses.

A French Seam is a seam in which the raw edges of the cloth

are completely covered by sewing them together, first on the right side,
then on the wrong. It also has the raw edges of the fabric tucked in
and leaves a clean edge. A French seam is a type of
sewing seam in which the raw ends of the fabric are tucked in,
leaving a clean, polished, professional look.

Flat-Fell Seam a strong seam with two lines of stitching showing

on the right side that is produced by folding one raw edge under
the other and stitching it flat or slip-stitching it on the wrong side.
Flat fell seams are very strong and durable, which is why they're often
used on sturdy fabric, such as denim. Commercial sewing machines
typically have a system that does this seam in one step.

A Double-Stitched Seam is like a Plain Seam, but a

second Plain Seam is sewn between the first and the raw edges of
the seam allowance in order to provide a stronger seam for the fabrics
being sewn together as well as better keep the fabric from fraying.
In simple terms, the double stitched seam is a plain seam with an extra
row of stitching making a double row of stitching on the wrong
side of the fabric.

A bound seam looks like a French seam on the right side

Of the fabric. There are no visible stitches on the right side of
the fabric, and on the opposite
cv side, the fabric edges are
neatly enclosed. Bound seams are often used on lightweight fabrics
including silk and chiffon and on unlined garments to produce a
neat finish.

Lapped Seam is a seam in which the edges overlap especially :

a seam in leather or cloth made by extending a cut or folded edge over
a cut edge to the width of the seam cv allowance and stitching in place.
It is typically used with fabrics that don't fray, such as leather
and fleece. For a lapped seam, the right side of the fabric faces
up and the pieces overlap, instead of right or wrong sides together.

A welt seam is a type of seam that has been sewn flat

by first stitching on the wrong side and then securing it
cv
on the right side. The welt seam is ideal for use on heavier fabrics
needing stronger seams and less bulk. This useful seam is often
called a mock flat felled seam.
