Infomamun,Hi.

I think I solved the mystery.

 

I took your original shirt and separated all the paths.

Select your closed path of shirt. Then go to Select>Object>Direction handles. Then cut. Delete what’s left (all anchor points). Then paste in place.

 

That revealed the two arcs were duplicated and pasted in place.

 

So knowing that, I did the same on test paths.

I have two rectangles open paths and two arcs pasted on top of each other.

Then Object>Path Join.

Wow, I got ONE closed path.

Truly interesting.

    Yes, there are definitely easier ways and this technique will throw you off when you have to edit one of those duplicated paths. Or apply something simple as a brush to simulate stitching
