You’d lose the ability to create certain styles. Sometimes you need to bunch up fabric on one side of a stitch, and it’s only secured by the stitch itself. Sometimes you need sharp corners that require a seam. Think about your pockets. Without some clever joinery, your pockets are just kinda poofs.
Sometimes you need to build up material to add some strength and just sticking more fibers together won’t last as long.
If every individual thread forms a perfect, closed loop and is intertwined with all the others, that works. But you kind of dress everyone in sweaters only.
