Thanks for the video. It helped me remember how to hem a knit dress for my granddaughter using my Ovation! I really appreciate all the work you do creating these videos for us.

I bought an ovation serger with all the accessory feet and have not used it because I have not had a lesson. Your tutorials are fantastic! This instruction is what should have come with purchase. Thank goodness for you tube!

Your videos are super detailed, well done and amazing! Thank you!!

I love your videos. The information is always so clear. Thank you

Thank you for this excellent video. I've not done a cover hem before and couldn't have figured it out with this video!

Thank you for this video and all of your information!! I really appreciate you taking the time to explain and show. I love your videos. Please continue teaching on the Ovation. I really want to use mine more but I find that I am so unskilled.

Yay!! That’s the final thing I need to do on my T-shirt with my ovation! Wish me luck! Thanks you are a very good teacher.

Thanx. I was waiting for this. I actually found another video that details how to end that pulls your threads all to the inside. Very helpful. Thanx.

I just figured this out by thoroughly reading the stitch instructions in my Ovation manual and also looking through the "Techniques" section. I never think to check KZfaq :P I just happened to stumble across this. To release the threads when done stitching, the manual says to "Carefully reverse the hand wheel until the needle are in the highest position. Raise the presser foot to release the tension. Carefully and firmly pull fabric and threads to the left. Cut threads." This works! After reading a couple of the other comments, I'm going to try the method described that will pull the top threads to the back.

So glad you made this video. I was reviewing as I have not used my serger for cover hem in over 4 months! I did not know there was an alternate chain/coverstitch thread guide. Mine was an early Ovation. I ordered one and it was very inexpensive and love the ease with which it works, Easy to attach

Thank you for your excellent tutorials. They are such a help.

Thank you. Your video gives me confidence to try!

You are such a great Teacher.Thank you so much

Thank you so very much for all your videos they are great 🥰

Thank you for this tutorial.

By way love your tutorials

Love your videos!

Thank you for the instructions so helpful

Great tutorial! Thanks so much.

Thanks so much for explaining tensions for this application.

Great video!

This turned out to be such a lucky find for me since I have the Ovation and legs shorter than all my pants! I love my Ovation but bought it from online and there are no classes being offered now. Thanks so much for your videos for this wonderful machine!! I need more of them desperately!!!

Hello. Raise presser foot and needles, insert your allen wrench under the presser foot and behind the needles on top of the fabric, lift foot, pull thread forward, clip the threads. Then remove fabric by gently wiggling back. The needle threads will be pulled to the back of the fabric.

I watch this tutorial before each time I do the cover hem. It is very good. I did find somewhere? on KZfaq a video on ending in the round hem that actually pulle the threads all to the back befor cutting them all. I think you clip the top thread then pull the two out. Starts as you did by lifting the needles then pressor foot and pulling all the threads befor clipping them. Could you research that in anyway. You are a great teacher. Love your videos!

Thank you for your great instructions. Is there now a hem guide available?

Excellent videos! So helpful--I just purchased an Ovation, haven't even brought it home yet, but I'm watching your videos to become familiar with it! TFS!

I love your videos. You are an excellent instructor. I recently purchased a like new evolution. I have a question about the cover stitch hem on a T-shirt sleeve. I have short arms and need to shorten all my T-shirts. Before the evolution I just pushed them up. My question is the end of the sleeves are quite narrow would you advise to open the seam and then do the cover hem and sew the seam back up. Thank you.

I have just used my ovation in as a narrow cover stitch for the very first time thanks to your great video. Just on question, I am not sure where the treads go just before they go through the needles as there are multiple hook guides, can you give a close up or explain please

Can you demonstrate the right and the left narrow cover hem. Thank you for your very clear instructions.

are you able to use the foot that came with the ovation to do the cover stitch? Everything I try to watch seems to want me to buy this other expensive foot...

Do you use the narrow cover stitch when top stitching a neckband on knit tops?

Is the triumphs cover-stitch setup the same? I hope so. Your the best teacher I’ve seen.

Are you still doing videos? I just now found you, you’re great!

Thank you! This was wonderful!

Hi-I am converting a pattern for sewing to a serged finish. It has a knit tank style top. Can I just use a cover hem to finish the arm holes/maybe neck opening? Or is there anything special I need to watch out for? I was thinking to just turn the seam allowance under and use a wide cover to finish it up. Do you have any thoughts about how that might be done?

Can you widen the needle stitch lines by using a right needle or will it not work?

How do i thread the looper from the thread down. Thanks susan

Can you consider showcasing all the extra feet and what they do on the Ovation? I bought a New To Me Ovation with all the feet.

I’m getting skipped cover stitches. It’s the underneath stitches. I’ve checked threading, changed tensions per this video & changed needles. It’s better but not perfect. Any ideas?

What thread do you recommend for coverstitching?

I use a thin stretchy fabric and I cannot make the chain stitch lose enough. So it forms a bulge on the right side. Please advise.

I am sewing on a Baby Lock Evolution serger, learning the cover stitch. I am sewing the fabric in a continuous loop, like for a hem on a dress. I’m having difficulties sewing thru the side seams. The stitches become smaller and the fabric wants to bunch up. What am I doing wrong?

Quick question for you. I have a lot of existing clothes that I want to hem (sleeves & pants) with a cover stitch and they are all different colors. I don't want to invest in so many different cones of the same color thread, especially on such small simple projects. Is there any way that I can use something like a bobbin to create a small second spool of thread to be used on the 2nd needle? I don't care about the wrong side of the fabric, since the thread color doesn't show. It's only on the right side of the fabric with the 2 needles. Thanks!

What setting should the differential dial set at when sewing a double or stretchy knit

Can you do a cover hem on a baby lock eclipse dx? If so how?

can i do this on a 8002DG janome overlocker?

Im making a top with stretchy super soft fleece and want to put an elastic bottom on it as opposed to leaving it straight. do you have a video that shows how to do that? just not confident in 'winging' it..........you explain things so well I am hoping you can steer me to some instructions? when I do a coverhem I do have that attachment (seam guide?) so I flip my fabric over to see where it is supposed to be - set the guide - then flip over again and stitch. pretty sure that is a trick I saw you do.

How do you change out the throat plate?

Hi. Did you ever show how to thread for cover stitch?

I just found it.... shut the top threads then when you pull and the looper thread pulls the top thread to the back. Then cut the looper thread.

Settings for this hem? FYI, My serger is a Protégé from 1992!! Thanks!!

Thank you for making this video, I assumed the the cover stitch on this machine had automatic tensions, I was a little disappointed. I wonder why Baby Lock haven’t added automatic tensions on their coverlock machines or their stand alone coverstitch machine. 👍

So can you use that machine as a regular serger and as a cover hem?

What's the difference between a "cover hem" and a "cover stitch"? Same thing but different name?

does this work with a singer serger?

Here is a link to baby lock if you want to check out the accessory feet available for their sergers babylock.com/accessories/

oops! Never mind! You just said in your video that I don't need one. Lesson # 1: Watch the entire video FIRST! :-)

Sounds soo complicated to use. Ugh 😩 how will one remember all this.

Sure is a nice machine however I could never afford $3.599.00

Thank you for the great video. It helps take the fear out of using this stitch. So many people I talk to, buy a serger, take a class and then the serger sits until the next class because they are afraid to use it.
