1.
The part of a seam in or on a stitched or sewed product (most often an article of clothing such as a pair of pants like jeans or khakis) where the fabric flap on the inside changes directions and creates a slightly raised section.
"When feeling the exterior of the slacks, I quickly noticed an awkward skitch near the pocket."
There are many types of seams on which a skitch can form. Depending on the product, its fabric, and its physical use (such as how a clothing item lays and bends on the body), seams such as welt seams, felled seams, french seams, and bound seams may lead to the formation of one or more skitches.
The presence or absence of skitches in a product does not usually signify anything of manufacturing importance. Sometimes skitches are intentionally included, and other times they’re not. They appear to be a natural and unavoidable part of stitching, sewing, and textile crafting.
