Time Efficiency and Speed
While the lockstitch is celebrated for its strength and versatility, achieving the perfect lockstitch seam requires attention to detail. The choice of thread is crucial; using the wrong type or thickness may result in stitches that either break or do not provide enough support. Similarly, the needle size should be appropriate for the fabric type to avoid damaging the material.
One of the primary advantages of using the double needle stretch stitch is its durability. Traditional straight stitches may break when sewing on stretchy materials because they do not have the ability to stretch. The double needle stretch stitch, on the other hand, provides the necessary give, allowing for comfortable movement in garments. This is particularly important in activewear, dance costumes, and other garments designed for dynamic activities.
