Preliminary matters
Obviously the second half of the title sounds like an oxymoron, but I'm assuming (possibly wrongly) that there are differing levels of quality with double needle tailoring.
I also understand that the lock stitch of a single needle is superior to the chain stitch of a double needle. The lock stitch will unravel only one or two stitches, whereas the chain will unravel the entire seam if a thread breaks.
So, is there such thing as better double needle stitching? If so, is a single needle, flat felled seam always superior to a double needle stitched seam?
