| 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.

| - | It may be useful to help the pressure foot move over those little humps at the side seam f.ex. Sometimes a hump will be sewn beautifully by just going slowly but other times there may be a movement resulting in unsightly pleats or skipped stitches. When using a hump jumper, I stop sewing with the needles down, lift the pressure foot and place the hump jumper behind the needles. It is also possible to use a piece of folded fabric to do the job. Here I am not using the hump jumper the way it is supposed to be used because I prefer to slide it behind the needles from the side as seen in the following image. | + | It may be useful to help the presser foot move over those little humps at the side seam f.ex.
