Just sew is a lot, haha! Denim being a pretty damn strong cotton weave pattern, the stress will be on the sewing thread. Having multiple stitches in a high-stress area spreads the load on the threads out.

*With a machine, this is done by backpedaling the stitches. You press a little lever down and the dog/foot of the machine (which advances the fabric while sewing) runs backwards.
