goo.gl/5xzmT6
A coverstitch machine is essential for the sewist looking to achieve a professional finish. The CoverPro® 1000CPX's innovative design is based on the marriage of an industrial-style cover hem machine and a convenient home machine. The resulting union has produced a high-speed, long arm, heavy-duty cover hem machine that looks and operates like a sewing machine. With a wide trip cover hem stitch, exclusive free arm configuration, and Janome's Seam Tightening System™ (STS), the 1000CPX is the most advanced Cover Hem machine available.
Included In Box:
Needle Set
Screwdrivers
Tweezers
Needle Threader
Lint Brush
Accessory Box
Pink Castle Fabrics is a family business started by Brenda and Jason in February of 2011. At the beginning, "warehouse" was located in the basement of our home in Ypsilanti, Michigan. Brenda had just begun quilting, and had a hard time finding fabric she liked at prices that Jason liked. Pink Castle Fabrics opened their own brick and mortar location in June of 2013.
HUGE thank you to Pink Castle Fabrics for making these videos possible! I personally know Brenda and Jason - they are committed to offering you the best customer service no matter where you're located.

Another cool thing about that needle threader is that you can put your needle in the other end and use it to insert the needle into the machine. There is a flat side that fits the needle. That way you don't have to worry about dropping the needle down into the machine.

@SewingReport 6 жыл бұрын

It sounds like you might have some tension issues or maybe using the wrong needle size - depending on how thick your thread is. I've never sewn on a Necchi, but I would do this on scrap fabric and keep playing with different settings. It would be difficult for me to give a recommendation because it will be unique for every situation. If you're using a twin needle, I have not had great luck with those myself.

@denise62007 5 жыл бұрын

Giuseppa Laezza You probably have sorted it out, but when going near the thicker part I raise the presser foot and put a small piece of folded fabric behind the needles, so that the presser foot is at the same level of the thicker part and I sew very slowly to avoid breaking threads or skipping stitches..

Let me see if I can explain it... Using wooly nylon allows more stretch in your garment as it's a textured thread. If you look closely at it, it reminds you of yarn-like fibers. It's used a lot with knit fabric (jersey fabric, poly spandex fabric, Lycra fabric, etc.). It's also used in your loppers on serger machines. It's can be challenging to thread sometimes but you'll love the results!
