- | 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 pleads 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 pressure foot move over those little humps at the side seam f.ex.

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. | + | |
