What you are seeing

A machinist guides a charcoal garment with aqua trim through a coverstitch machine while the stations behind him keep working.

Coverstitch is the stitch you see as two parallel lines on the outside of a T-shirt hem, with a looper thread underneath that lets the seam stretch. On knitwear it is what stops a hem from cracking when the fabric is pulled, so name it in your tech pack wherever a hem or seam has to stretch.
