This stitch is used to finish a raw edge on synthetics and
other stretch fabrics that tend to pucker. The three short
stitches created by this stitch pattern make it ideal for
mending tears, applying patches and inserting elastic.
Sew along the fabric edge leaving an adequate seam
allowance. After sewing, trim the seam allowance close to
the stitches.
