lockstitching
Interlocking thread technique
Lockstitching is a sewing technique that interlocks two threads—one from above, one from below—to create a durable, reversible stitch.
Unlike chain stitching, lockstitching won't unravel if one thread breaks.
It's the standard stitch produced by most home sewing machines: The seams were reinforced with lockstitching.
