Thank you 😊

Thank you 😊 there’s more than one way, but this one is the simplest and the finish is neat 🙂

Thank you Janice ♥️♥️♥️

Thank you for watching ♥️

Haha, I know the videos are for very few people, but I'm not obsessed with popularity and it makes me happy when someone (even if it's just one person) finds the tutorials useful 😉 My fingers are safe, my machines are far smarter than me 🤣🤣🤣 thank you for watching Kerstin (btw, you can actually get an attachment like that for a straight stitch machine, though it's a bit tricky to attach) x

Thank you 😊

Thank you Lynne ♥️ they need some practice, but after you've found out the best position, angle and speed it gets easy 😊 get lots of scraps and play with it for a bit, you might surprise yourself when you suddenly start to love it 😉x

I prefer the ribbing, too, but it's a requested video (especially the construction with this sort of binding seems to puzzle people 😉 and as I'm on a industrial sewing course, I happen to know stuff like this 🤣🤣🤣) But I will not stop my ribbing addiction anytime soon 🤣🤣🤣

Gingerhead & Co I really like all your makes with the ribbing, but my own preference is, generally,for a self fabric band. I am just wondering if I might need an attachment, or not 🤔🤫

If you're happy with your neckbands you might not need anything else (I don't use binders for neckline/armholes finishing that often, though I do use it for some other things 😉)

I just got myself a CV 3550 with the binding attachment. I wonder: this binding, is not cut on the bias? Because of it’s a knit? Am I right?

It's definitely far quieter than any of the domestic ones I've ever had (or heard) 😊😊😊 I didn't change the sound in the video, but I think the 'background' is quieter when I speak 😀

Thank you Claire ♥️ it's double fold binder -it's an attachment, Janome makes them, too, they might have a rake at the end to make the tape slide more evenly. I'm using 36mil here (outlet) but they come in various sizes. I'll make another video about generic ones (and some general tips) because I get lots of questions about them x

@@GingerheadCo very helpful thank you

I actually prefer the juki for most of my coverstitching (the stitch is consistent on all fabric and there's no skipped stitches over thick seams) though both machines are amazing - I have never had any issues apart from my own errors. The babylock is better if you want to use various binders (they have quite a few and they are excellent quality, though theyvare not cheap) so the installation takes seconds. Both machines are reliable, both have a slight learning curve (and I guess the problems might occur there - as with all machines, the better we know them, the easier it is to use them). The babylock needs compensation over thick seams (I use my coverstitch machines on jeans and thick wool as well), which is not a problem, but I need to slow down there. It's also louder. Juki, apart from the lack of accessories, is more difficult to thread (though I actually think it's super easy 😀 ) and if not threaded properly won't work well. But I love the smooth work and I use it as my main coverstitch. The babylock is the only brand that makes combo machines with the ability to use both overlocker and coverstitch functions in combination, which is why I got it (I use it a lot as a 5 thread overlocker and for decorating various projects) I love them both and I could definitely recommend either - but everyone likes something else, so it's always best to test the machine that you want to buy.

Gingerhead & Co Thank you for the reply! You input is very helpful.

Thank you 😊 it takes a bit of practice but it actually is easy (though my first attempts weren't perfect- I'm going to make another video at some point with some little tips because I've had quite a few questions) The tape is just stripes of fabric cut along the biggest stretch (usually selvage to selvage, but not always). I make my own, but you can buy it pre-cut 😊

Thanks Alex 👍🏻 I’m going to see if my coverstich machine has a binder? I’m sure it does xx

@@mrsgingernut if it doesn't you can still buy a generic one (and an adapter plate if it doesn't fit) - it's doable 😁

Hi Lorena, choosing the perfect coverstitch for your needs is very personal. Decide how much you want to spend and how much you're going to use it (if you use it for your business, maybe it would be a good idea to look into industrial options, they can work for hours every day with no issues) We all like something else, I like my Juki and Babylock coverstitch machines a lot, but there's no machine that is perfect for everyone 😊 always try before you buy - and if possible take a class at your dealership on how to start coverstitching on the model you buy. Good luck with your coverstitching journey xxx

It just needs to be taut (not slack) and positioning the stand a bit higher - above the presser foot level would sort it out. This type of binding is not suitable for any opening that needs to be gathered, I'd only use it for openings with less than 10% ease for the band (so, this binding works best for boat neck type of necklines and so on)

There’s a version in English, when you look at the top right side of the website there are two flags, click on the American and you’ll have a translated version of the website. As far as I know she posts worldwide but you can send her an email if you’re not sure 😊

@@GingerheadCo Thank you, I did figure it out. I should have the items next week. I enjoy watching you use your machine.
