welted
Having raised edges
Welted describes something having a welt—a raised edge, ridge, or border.
A welted seam in shoemaking has a strip of leather sewn between the upper and sole.
Welted skin shows raised marks, as from a blow or allergic reaction: His back was welted from the whipping.
In tailoring, a welted pocket has a finished lip or binding around its opening.
