Coverstitch 103 ~ Learn How to Use Your Coverstitch Machine

Learn How to Use the Coverstitch Machine

Do you find yourself sewing a lot of knits? If so, you will eventually want to add a coverstitch machine to your sewing room. Hemming knits has never been easier!

But the Coverstitch is not just for knits, you can also do a chainstitch which is great for finishing seams and decorative stitching.

Join my next online / virtual class in the serger sequel Serger/Coverstitch 103 ~ Learn to Use Your Coverstitch Machine! Although we are focusing on serging in these classes, many sergers include a coverstitch combo, so I wanted one class to focus on just coverstitching.

Learn how to set up:

Narrow and Wide Coverstitch
3-thread Coverstitch
Chainstitch

Next, you will learn how to hem knits, finishing hemming in the round and tying off your stitches. Tips for decorating seams and fabric with the coverstitch. Learn a quick and easy way to pull out your stitches and take extra care preventing them from chaining off.

BONUS: There will be an extra tutorial for using the double coverstitch (not available on every machine).
