stitches. It can be a utility stitch for button sewing,

The satin stitch is often used to decorate and overcast the
raw edge on blankets, linens, tablecloths and napkins. It is
also attractive in applique.
Once your machine is set up to stitch, for the best result,
test stitch on the fabric being used. A tight satin stitch may
pucker some lightweight fabrics.
