This is basically a running stitch used to gather the fabric. If you are gathering by machine, then you would use two rows of a straight stitch. The stitch should be of the longest length your machine can do. Also you would not backstitch on the ends and leave long thread tails for pulling on each side. You would pull either the upper or lower threads only to gather.
Rachael McCann, you can definitely use it mend a seam. I have done so plenty of times. After you have gathered the fabric, you will have more control of the fabric to hand sew it or machine stitch it.
