Machine sewing with only bottom thread - is this possible?

What is this machine sewing technique called? I read a sewing encyclopedia a while ago that had a section on an unusual method of loading the machine that involved pulling the bobbin thread from the bottom part of the machine through the needle...
...then doing....something? and sewing just with that thread--no top thread, no overlocking. I think it was a Singer encyclopedia of sewing. I don't know the name of the technique and all my Googling has proved futile.
It's been bothering me for weeks. Tailors, please hope me!

Best answer: It's apparently also called a one-thread dart.

I usually see this called a couture dart (or single-thread dart).
