seamsboundaries

Seamsboundaries is a cross-disciplinary term referring to the interface created where separate pieces are joined along a seam. In textiles and garment construction, a seam boundary is the stitched line that joins fabric panels; it delineates where two pieces share edges, defines seam type, allowance, and finish, and affects garment fit, load distribution, and durability. Common seam boundaries include plain, French, and flat-felled seams; careful handling reduces puckering, fraying, and seam slippage.

In computational geometry and 3D modeling, seamsboundaries describe the interfaces along which two surface patches or mesh components are "sewn" together to form a continuous surface. Proper management of seam boundaries is essential for watertight meshes, texture mapping continuity, and finite element integrity. Techniques include seam alignment, parameterization along seams, and stitching algorithms that minimize distortion.

In topology and fabrication, the concept can be used more abstractly: seam boundaries are the common boundary along which two subspaces are identified or glued. The term emphasizes the boundary behavior of the resulting unified object rather than the interior properties.

Limitations: "seamsboundaries" is not standard terminology in any single field, and usage varies. When introduced, it should be defined in context—textile engineering, computer graphics, or topology—so readers understand its scope.
