The manufacturing of climbing ropes involves stringent quality control processes. The sewing machines used for this purpose must comply with industry standards and regulations to ensure the final product can withstand intense force and wear. A rope that fails during use can cause serious injury or even fatalities; hence, manufacturers invest significantly in high-quality sewing machinery that guarantees reliability.

Additionally, zigzag stitches are often used for creating buttonholes. Many machines even come with automatic buttonhole features, which make sewing buttonholes a breeze, especially when working on clothing or accessories. The stretch capabilities of the zigzag stitch also make it perfect for sewing knits, as the stitch allows the fabric to stretch without breaking, ensuring comfort and flexibility.
