Oh yes! ...... totally forgot about two needles, two threads and only one bobbin!

That is quite impressive and would be a challenge. However, if the back cammoflaged the stitches somewhat, it might work just fine....especially for wall hangings or table wear......

It's not really a zig-zag. It's one thread catching both top threads, and it makes a little different pattern than a zig-zag.
