when you are ending a run of sewing in a straight stitch you use the reverse to "lock" the sewing, so the thread will not pull out as easy, and it is less bulky than hand knotting it. you just hit the reverse for about a 1/4 to 1/2 inch at the end of your seam and maybe do it a couple of times depending on stress of the seam is going to be under in the finish garment.
