The pattern is sewn with two stitches forward and one
stitch backward, forming a seam that does not rip easily.
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.
