When to use Not Sunken Stitch? (only BMS)

Useful with structures with SJ and DJ in a knitting row
Problem without Not Sunken Stitch :

A common NP position for SJ (about NP12) and DJ (about NP9.0)
The DJ area is accordingly sunk too deep and has to be balanced using the opposite side.
This is not always possible or knit-able depending on the yarn and desired stitch tension.

With Not Sunken Stitch :

Only in the DJ area it is knitted with Not Sunken Stitch
Normal stitch is knitted in the SJ area.
The stitch length in the DJ area is balanced using the the opposite knitting system. As a result the DJ area is clearly knitted tighter and more reliable.
The loop sinking depth can be adjusted mechanically at the carriage of the BMS.
