lockstitch
Please, see the definition below.
The lockstitch uses two threads, an upper and a lower. Lockstitch is so named because the two threads, upper and lower, "lock" (entwine) together in the hole in the fabric which they pass through. The upper thread runs from a spool kept on a spindle on top of or next to the machine, through a tension mechanism, through the take-up arm, and finally through the hole in the needle. Meanwhile the lower thread is wound onto a bobbin, which is inserted into a case in the lower section of the machine below the material.

Note from asker:
| Thanks for yr suggestions, Marlene. I though lockstitch was pesponto duplo in PT... Could it be that pesponto duplo and ponto preso are the same? |
