Which machine is used for reverse stitching?

• A. Lockstitch
• B. Serger
• C. Blindstitch
• D. Overlock

Answer: (A)

Backstitching to secure the seam ends is the key idea here. A lockstitch machine includes a reverse stitch function, allowing you to sew backward for a few stitches to lock the seam. This reinforcement prevents unraveling and is the standard way to finish a seam. A serger/overlock finishes edges with multiple threads and doesn’t typically provide a traditional reverse stitching function. A blindstitch machine is used for invisible hems and uses a different stitch pattern, not for backstitching. So the machine used for reverse stitching is the lockstitch machine.
