Don’t be scared, you loose money only when you don’t use it 😉 it might take some practice but it’s going to be easier every time you use it 😊

Thank you - and I know that it's not for everyone 😉 but when I got my coverstitch I struggled to find anything apart from very basic and dry manufacturer's videos. Also, I use my coverstitch machines loads and even though I know that my way of sewing might not be very popular I hope one day it might be 🤣🤣🤣 I don't really have a domestic overlocker anymore (I had 2 but had to make space for the industrial). The ovation is a combo but it is very unlike other domestic overlockers ...and I'm definitely NOT an expert on janome overlockers (I don't think they like me at all, even in the shop 🤣🤣🤣) Most overlockers don't like anything out of order in their threading so I have spent the best hours of my sewing days re-threading them 🤣🤣🤣 I will add some of my past issues to other videos (re: overlockers/sergers) but I only have the beast to demonstrate 🤣 (or the self- threading, self tension adjusting ovation that is actually the best example of a clever company strategy: remove any frustration from the machine and people will pay much more for it 😉)

@@GingerheadCo What is it about your way of sewing that you don't think is popular?

Thank you 😊 I'll add threading to the list (though I use the Juki video, I'm not actually sure if I can record a better one - I'll add it to the description box later today, it might be useful)

Thank you ♥️

It's my favourite method 😁 x

thank you - and enjoy your new machine, I'm sure you'll love it! x

Thank you Sue - though I might need to buy a proper tripod 😉

Thank you ♥️♥️♥️

Thank you Laura 😊 the starting and finishing rules apply to all coverstitch machines - remember to place the fabric under the foot and if you notice that your first stitch is lost, start with the needles in the fabric (and you can finish in the way I show in the video). I hope you love your machine and will have many happy sewing hours with her xxx

Thank you for watching and commenting Nancy ♥️♥️♥️

Thank you Lynne ♥️ though I don't think you need a new coverstitch (unless you really, really want to - then who am I to reason with that 🤣), the cpx 2000 can produce great results, too - some people absolutely love theirs (I just don't think janome overlockers or coverstitch machines are compatible with me...I'm not delicate or patient - both qualities are rated highly in a sewist, I know, but I lack both all the same ). I still think you need to give your janome some love and she'll love you back 😘

Gingerhead & Co oh, she works really well and is a lovely machine x

@@lynneprentice4278 Haha, you're like me: see a new machine- want a new machine! x

Gingerhead & Co hahaha - you sussed it lol! 😂😂😂😂

If I was going to buy a domestic one I'd buy either the juki or the blcs (the stand alone babylock) - I've sent you a message back - feel free to ask about any details (I've tested 2 brother ones, the janome and all jukis including their industrials 🤣)

What can you say about industrial coverstich?

Do you really like the Juki 1500? I’m considering buying one and still have doubts. Don’t want a machine that will give me headaches or regrets.

♥️♥️♥️

Thank you Loriann ♥️ I know the ovation and the gloria can chain off and in theory start off the fabric- but I personally have never managed to avoid a skipped stitch after such a start (also, when I chain off the risk of skipped stitches in the next project is increased). Imho this technological advancement needs a further advancement 🤣 I love my ovation but I hardly ever chain off (and I didn't get the gloria because I didn't notice any improvement on the stitch quality ) you're lucky because you have all new models much faster - so you're going to have the babylock top and bottom coverstitch first 😁 we'll probably have to wait a year 😳😳😳 or longer....and they will be more expensive here 🤣🤣🤣

I'm going to make a video about how I hem in the round - I just need to work out the best angle (for both machines) and where to put my lights 😉 It was quite tricky to record it so that you can see anything 😉 But I hope there's going to be a video on how to hem (without trimming anything and with a neat finish) x

@@GingerheadCo I thought you did brilliantly in such a tight spot and weird angles. I'll look forward to it, thanks.

Make sure you start with fabric under your foot,every needle should go into the fabric from the first stitch. It is sometimes easier to use the hand wheel to make sure the needles go precisely where you want them, then lower the foot and coverstitch. I'm not entirely sure what your beginning stitches look like, but if the outer needle (usually the left one) produces a 'wonky' stitch it might actually be due to the wrong fabric/settings. Coverstitch needles like the same amount of fabric, even though Juki has a foot that compensates quite a lot, so I've never actually had this problem. Of course, as always , check if it's threaded properly and use the right needles for the project (90/14 for anything thicker than 220gsm). Remember that the presser foot pressure knob needs to be set on at least medium (or high) for thicker fabric (unlike most regular sewing machines) Stitches not being parallel could mean that one needle tension is set too high and the thread is pulling on the needle- though it would happen for longer than just a few stitches (and the needle would break after a while)

there would be absolutely no educational value in such a video Nicolo

@@GingerheadCo but there is nothing wrong with making a video like that :) that instinctively shows a part of the industrial sewing machine :) only one please :)

Probably user error lol

Like in an industrial 😉 I always check (I have quite a few machines, 3 of them industrial so I can get really confused sometimes 😁)
