I do not get the soft mode in the stitch constrain. The hard mode works just fine, but snaps the selected points together which is undesirable for my case where I am trying to stitch on piece of cloth with itselfe.
The Softmode just does nothing at all for me, whether I am trying to stitch multiple seperate pieces of cloth or points that are part of the same clothobject. In the viewport it shows the ‘connection lines’ but it does not have any effects on the physics at all.

You can see exactly what I mean in minute 41 of thim video:

I understand the soft stitch constrain to stitch them together but with some room/free space and a more loose effect, but not with no effect whatsoever.

I too experience this broken effect of soft mode. What I use it for is to visualize my stitching. Once I know my stitching is correct I change it back to hard mode.

Hmm okay. Thank you but hard mode really does not give me what I need. Very unfortunate.
