| It is difficult to give accurate tension or differential settings and stitch length that will fit every application. The following settings are what I used on my Babylock Coverstitch machine, when reverse top stitching 95/5 cotton lycra knit with average weight ribbing, using regular polyester sewing thread on paper core and cotton quilting thread on a mini cone in the looper. Tension settings may vary according to the weight of the thread, the weight and the number of layers of fabric to be pierced and even on the way the thread is wound. In this case I am using polyester sewing thread by Coats in needle 1 and 3 and a cheap polyester thread I got of eBay in needle 2. All threads are unwinding counter clockwise because for these threads it seems to minimize the risk of thread twisting and forming loops which may cause stitch irregularities or skipped stitches. | It is difficult to give accurate tension or differential settings and stitch length that will fit every application.
