Not sure if it's my technique or if it's a machine setting. I'm wondering if Using a wooly-nylon-type thread in the cover looper would improve the look. Also, I've been having trouble with with thicker side seams; I'm getting itty bitty stitches there. Should I be reducing the foot pressure? I'm using a Babylock Evolution. Any suggestions are most welcome. -- Edited on 7/16/12 6:10 PM -- ------ Linda Bernina 830LE Bernina B530 Janome 6600P Pfaff 1209 Babylock Evolution Janome 644D

You might also need to lengthen the stitches, but I don't think using woolly nylon will solve the problem. But, you can always try it.

As soon as I removed it, my stitch was ok. When I'm having problems now with my coverstitch, I make sure the spools are lined up exactly with the needles (ie, wide vs narrow doublestitching).
