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 requir-
ing extra strength such as backpacks.
