This type of thread loop is stronger than a thread chain eye, because more thread is attached directly to the fabric. A good place for this type of thread eye is when the hook and eye will be under stress in a fitted garment. For example; A fitted gown that has a side seam with an invisible zipper, would benefit from this type of eye because it is un-obstructive but will be strong enough to withstand holding the garment closed while the zipper is closed.
