lockstitch
A lockstitch is a type of stitch made by a sewing machine, in which two threads are interlocked at small intervals. One thread is passed through the needle from the top, while the other comes from the bobbin at the bottom. As the needle inserts into the fabric, it forms a loop behind, which the bobbin thread passes through. As the needle continues its motion, the loop closes, securing the stitch. This method of stitching is secure and commonly used in most types of machine sewing.
