machine stitching
Mechanized thread joining
Machine stitching is sewing done by a sewing machine rather than by hand.
The term distinguishes mechanically produced seams from handwork, often in contexts where the difference matters—quilting, leatherwork, or garment construction.
Machine stitching is faster and more uniform but lacks the subtle irregularity some crafters prize in hand stitching.
