Double Chain Stitch 
 
This stitch is suitable for straight seams.  It also can be used for a decorative  
chainstitch topstitching effect.  The Middle Cover needle and the Chainstitch Looper  
are used.  Decorative thread can be placed in the Chainstitch Looper, the needle, or  
in both to create various effects.
