I looked in my one sewing book I can find, I looked online. I'm not
talking about crocheting.
Hopefully its doing two parallel lines of stitching, one within the seam
allowance, one on the seam line, because that's what I just did.
So, enlighten me, in case I'm in the dark.

there is a double needle many zig zag machines can use. It makes 2
lines on the top of fabric and the one bobbin thread on the bottom that
goes back and forth between the two. Sort of a look like you see on
t-shirt hems.

Me thinks that wouldn't work in this situation. This is for reinforcing
a hidden seam in a backpack. They say nothing about needing a special
needle or zig zag.

They probably mean what is normally refered to as a stretch stitch.
The machine goes two forward, one back, two forward, one back. Great
for reinforcing seams.

If the pattern/instructions are old it probably just means a
row of double stitching. If newer maybe a stretch seam but I've never
heard a stretch stitch on a machine referred to as a double stitch.
Maybe I should get out more though ; )
