@kristina_louise so, is it more common language to add 'es' (plural)? better to say 'stitches' than 'stitch' ?

@intan89 it depends on how many stitches are ripped but if you're unsure, use the word "stitching". Stitching includes both singular and plural.

@ErsatzEuphoria I see! But I want to use this phrase to make data of defective items garment. Like "skipped stitches", "dropped stitches", "needle marks", "oil stains", etc. Of course the amount is uncertain. Sometimes there is only one piece of defect, sometimes more. Is it more natural if I use the plural words?

Yes. Use the plural form, because one stitch is not the line of stitching, but one insert into the fabric. Very rarely is only one stitch damaged, but is an area if multiple stitches. The word stitching is good, too.
You can say "dropped a stitch" in knitting, but rarely is only one little stitch damaged in sewing.
