Abstract: (Elsevier)

There is a well-defined prescription for sewing two Riemann surfaces. When a conformal field theory is defined on the original surfaces, how to extend the theory to the sewn surface becomes a problem. In this paper we treat the problem field theoretically, present a prescription for sewing, and check its consistency. We also show that any conformal field theory admits an operator formulation.
