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.
