I am soooo pleased with the tiny blanket stitch on my Brother ULTs and my BL a Ellageo...tho my machines are old, they still let me touch screen to create the exact stitch I want. Usually it is 2-3 stitches along the edge of the applique ( very small stitches) before it takes a small bite into the fabric. Both stitch and bite are adjustable. I love sewing on my ULTs, and even tho they do embroidery, I have dedicated the BL for that. You are wise to get demos before buying machine, especially if a certain stitch is important to you.
