I feel silly asking this but, I have wondered about this for along time. Is 1/2" scant less than 1/2" seam allowance? If so how much less?

Only a couple threads, enough so that when its pressed out, the seam doesn't change the intended size of the block.

There is no such thing as silly.....not long ago i didn't know what a scant was either.
