    How tight is tight? They aren’t the tightest stitches. If I wiggle the looser ones on top of the fabric they move a mm or two to either side. This is just the first two I repaired. The rest are way tighter.

    Sounds ok. Even with some slightly loose stitches, if they are tied off, they'll prevent any tendency for fabric coming adrift - something more confined to covering with no stitching, and even then I think, relatively rare.
