This strong, durable pattern is recommended where both
elasticity and strength are needed to insure comfort and
durability. Use it to reinforce areas such as crotch and
armhole seams. Also, use when constructing items such
as backpacks for extra strength.
The pattern is sewn with two stitches forward and one
stitch backward, forming a seam that does not rip easily.
Garments should be basted for fitting before seaming.
