The stitch is sewn with two forward stitches and one
reverse stitch, creating a seam that is difficult to tear.
Use it to reinforce areas such as crotch and armhole
seams.
Also use it when constructing items such as backpacks
for extra strength.
Carefully guide the fabric while sewing as the fabric
moves back and forth.
Sew on stretch fabrics in any area that you might use a
zigzag stitch.
This stitch is also used as a decorative stitch.

Sew about ten (10) stitches.
To strengthen the shank, cut the threads leaving

around the shank. Bring the needle thread to the
wrong side (bottom side) and knot.
