| The manual recommends switching to TIGHT when skipped stitches are occurring. Generally speaking the TIGHT setting seems best with heavier fabrics and multiple layers. The SOFT setting seems better suited to lightweight fabrics, to avoid tunnelling when hemming with the left needle piercing only one layer of fabric and when using polyester or woolly nylon stretch thread in the looper. | The manual recommends switching to TIGHT when skipped stitches are occurring.

| To be honest, I have been sewing my hems on my Babylock Coverstitch for years without much snipping and I seldom worry about perfectly wrapping the edge of the hem. So far I have avoided testing settings for the needles by stitching a few millimeters away from the edge like [[Hemming#Avoiding tunnelling|this]]. But it is always nice to have options. Or is it? As they say in French: "l'embarras du choix!" I am now facing the burden of choice. ;-) | To be honest, I have been sewing my hems on my Babylock Coverstitch for years without much snipping and I seldom worry about perfectly wrapping the edge of the hem.

| - | When reverse coverstitching hems with all needles piercing 2 layers of fabric, I use the TIGHT setting with all purpose thread in the looper. I have not tried reverse stitching with stretch thread because I don't like the way it tends to hook into things. | + | |
