An article, method and related apparatus for a novel hook and loop lock stitch. The lock stitch is embodied in a stitched article that includes a workpiece (10) including a series of stitch holes (34), or a seam, therethrough and further a back side surface composed of a hook material including hooks therein (19). The lock stitch is provided through each stitch hole, and includes an upper thread extending down through each stitch hole, forming a loop (26) underneath the workpiece, and extending back up through each stitch hole. A lower thread (50), or strip (50c), is composed of a hook material including hooks (52) therein. The loop is spread out amongst the hooks of the lower thread and interlocks therewith. The lower thread is thus entrapped between and within the loop and the back side surface of the workpiece, where the workpiece can comprise loop materials (19), as well.
