When you come the end of a seam if you pull the work up and allow the thread to get pulled to the other side, (and cut it in the back) that locks the seam. But if you leave the thread on the top of the work you can unravel it. Do you have a special W&G that does a double locking chain stitch? I think that is two threads. The common W&G is a regular chain stitcher -- they all make the same stitch. W&G can make very small tight stitches, though, which may be harder to unravel.
