Cover Stitch - What it is all about??? I have been using by Brother Pacesetter Cover Stitch 2340CV for over a year now and I absolutely love it. However, there are a lot of myths and assumptions about cover stitch machines and how useful they really are. So let's dive deeper and find out! All experiences are my own and based on my opinions. Please don't forget to conduct your own research before any purchase.

I do have a coverstitch machine since Oct 2019, but sewed for decades without one. Not having one made me avoid knits because I didn’t like the result using a twin needle on a regular sewing machine. Now I sew almost exclusively knits and I LOVE it. I wish I had bought one years ago!

I’m a beginner sewer but I have a BabyLock serger and I love it. I use it to sew seams together on knit fabrics and I use it to hem if I don’t want the bulk. However I will come back with a twin needle on my sewing machine to finish the hem, which is where the cover stitch can be so much more useful and convenient. Ive sewn a bunch of knit shorts for my son this summer and everything looks great except the twin needle stitch! No matter how I adjust the settings It will only stretch for a little bit and then it’ll pop! I have been debating for awhile to get a cover stitch machine and I think this video really justify that I need one! Thanks🎉

Yes, start with a machine, then a serger, then if needed a cover stich or a combination machine. I have 2 combination machines & love them. One is set up for a 4 thread overlock and the other is set up for the cover stitch. I splurged and got Baby Lock machines with the jet air threading and auto tensions! Love them both. I did sew for about 20 yrs without a serger. Depends on what you need.

Nice! I have heard about jet air threading, but have not experienced it, but it seems like it is helpful! I could do without a coverstitch, and this one was a gift, but I would not want to go back to the times when I did not have it - makes sewing stretch garments a smooth sailing!

I think that home sewers are looking for industrial machine features but are sized and price for the home. The Accomplish by Babylock has taken a nod from the Juki D-8700 and similar, but has taken away the 750 pound of the industrial machine and it weighs about 20 pounds but stitches 1500 stitches per minute. There are blind hemming machines and all kinds of specialized machines available through the industrial market. In the 80s I bought Singers first serger which was a 3 thread. I now use an 8 thread serger which I love which comes with a 3 needle coverstitch. My daughter has a 4 thread serger and wanted to use my serger for the cover stitch. She now wants a cover stitch machine.

Hello there - I don't, but here a couple of quick tips: 1) change the stitch length to a longer stitch, if your coversticth wants to chew up lighter knits. 2) for best results I sometimes have a little fabric "starter", basically just a scrap piece of knit that I place before I start cover stitching my seam (if i do a flat seam, this won't work on a "in-the-round-hem") 3) when I finish my hem in the round - I lift my presser foot and cut off thread at the bolts and gently pull on the fabric until threads come out. I would say those are the key points - I barely ever need to adjust the tension and any other settings, but I do the tips above almost every time I am sewing with it. Hope it helps! Oh, the manual is a HUGE help :)

(I’m lazy sometimes) Not to mention I have a combo just in case my serger need service I could always switch from cover to serger.

As far as I know, stand alone coverstitch machines for the home sewist haven't been around that long. I bought my first CS in 2009 after getting a serger/coverstitch combo machine for my birthday in late 2008. It didn't take me long to figure out a combo machine just wasn't going to work for me. Since I had the space in my sewing room, I purchased a used Janome 1000CP, the first version of the CS for Janome. It was a good starter machine for me. I've since replaced it with a Brother CV3550 because this machine has the top coverstitch, step up for me. As far as sergers, I bought my first one in 1987, shortly after they hit the retail market for the home sewist. It was a 3-thread Babylock without differential feed. I've had two upgrades since then and my next will probably be a Babylock.

Thank you so much for this video, Ive been contemplating a coverstitch for a while. Ive been hemming my knits with the serger blind hem but i find the wrong side of the hem looks really sloppy. Not sure if im doing something wrong or if thats just the way it is. What are your thoughts on serger blind hem? Love your videos.

Hey, I love your energy in your videos! Have you used Pfaff 4870 series serger combos? Particularly Pfaff 4874? Is the seger you show in this video your favorite amongst others? I bought one used on eBay and haven't used it (or any serger/coverstitcher for that matter) yet.

The cover stitch machines I show in this video is not a serger. I have not used any other machines apart from those I show in my videos - you can see my favorite serger in my serger myths video - link in the infobox. I wish I could be more help to you!!!

@kevin M I have just got a pfaff 4870 serger ...it is a 5 thread overlocker but i don’t think it is a combo one with coverstitch🤔

My 5-thread serger also does a cover stitch. I love it, but I don't understand the point of a machine that does nothing but a cover stitch.

For over $600 to do an easier hem that looks so similar to a twin needle. Very little return on investment in my view.

On the right side - very similar to twin needle, on the reverse side - completely different. It is totally up to you whether you see it worthy of purchase.
