I stand corrected. Depends on the length between the stitches and the relative strength of the base versus the reinforcement, etc. In your case, the reinforcement would have made up a far greater share of the strength of the finished weldment than the original pipe.
In any case, thorough analysis of stitching on the compression side would be way beyond elementary strength of materials and firmly into finite elements territory. My mistake.
Thanks.

Square vs. rectangle? Tube bridge physics.
