What you are seeing
Close in, you can see how the operator controls the fabric: feeding it at an even speed and keeping the edge against the guide, so the stitch line stays straight and the seam allowance stays the same width.
An even seam allowance is what keeps a garment's finished measurements inside tolerance from the first piece of a run to the last.
