This strong, durable stitch is recommended
where both
elasticity and strength are necessary in order to insure
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.
