This strong, durable stitch is recommended where
both elasticity and strength are necessary to ensure
comfort and durability.
Use it to reinforce areas such as crotch and armhole
seams as well as to eliminate puckering on knits and
stretch fabrics. Also use when constructing items
requiring extra strength such as backpacks.
