@@lisanegus9113 unfortunately I no longer make videos but if you are having issues with the fabric shifting, try ironing the hem prior to coverstitching and don’t stretch it pull the fabric, let it feed in the machine naturally.

You’re welcome, I’m glad the video helps.

What is so criminal minded about a binder attachment?

Unfortunately no as I don’t quilt. However, traditional binding on a quilt is done with zigzag sewing not using a coverstitch machine. This I think would look more pleasing on the back side of the quilt than the stitching done by the coverstitch.

@ thank you, great info if you use this process and even tho I don’t have a cover stitch machine, the seam technique is very useful to all sewing.

This machine does not have a knee pedal and my foot is down when I sew. The foot lift is on the right side of the machine out of the picture

@@anavictorio6951 ¿Qué agujas estás usando?

@@MissHajj I’m happy to hear you took the plunge and used your machine. It’s such a game changer in having your garments look more professionally done. At any time you have an issue, please feel free to contact me thru FB messenger. I’m more than happy to help.

@@karenmakinson3991 you want to pull your needle threads to the right side of the fabric and once those are on that side, the looper thread should be the only tail on the wrong side. So first gently pull the needle threads to the front.

@@madrecubana4932 in order to help you better, please message me thru FB because walking you thru may take several messages.

@@JuliaGulia89 you’re welcome, glad it helped. I have several other videos on this machine so you might want to check them out as well.

@@janetparker2722 you’re welcome, I’m glad it helps.

@@Dulceangel24 I’m not familiar with that machine buy it send similar to what I had. Have you checked other TH-cam videos on this particular machine? The puckering sounds like a tension our bobbin issue.

That’s great that you use elastic thread but for me this worked out better because I sew in bulk and constantly winding bobbins didn’t work. Thru the years I’ve learned so many helpful tricks myself, the internet has helped us all hone what we love to do. I just recently, (like in the last year), learned a great way to get very pointed collars on dress shirts. I am amazed!!!! As the saying goes, we’re never too old to learn.

Awwwwww, I’m still around and sewing. Funny thing is, I’m no longer sewing knits or children’s clothing. I’m sewing stretch taffeta. All the shops I was sewing for unfortunately closed. I’m now sewing equestrian show shirts. I think I pretty much covered everything I could on the Brother 2340 machine too. But, I have found new toys.

@@remithreadz1560 you’re going to love using a coverstitch, it makes everything look so professional. The settings may vary depending on the fabric. Just make it a habit to do a sample stitch out using the fabric you’re using for the garment with. If adjustments are needed, don’t adjust everything, sometimes it only takes maybe adjusting the differential or just the looper. Some go crazy and start adjusting every dial on the machine.

@@jeanetteweger5518 Thank you, for your quick reply! Is there "starting" settings I can start with and then adjust if/as needed? I'm scared to even open the box, I've had it for 2 months 😞

@@remithreadz1560 ​​⁠​​⁠start with the factory settings of all on 4 on the needles and looper. Change the stitch length to 4 and leave the differential at the factory setting as well. Definitely adjust your presser foot (on to of the machine) so that the top of the silver screw is 1/2” of the top of the machine. Once there leave it, that’s the sweet spot. Also get different needles, I buy mine on eBay, you want Organ brand 90/14 SUK BP, these seem to work the best. If you’re going to sew fleece, spandex, linen, French terry, buy some 80/12 sharp needles.

@@j.a.maldonado4681 thank you

@@salabova have you considered buying a new belt? You can get them thru Ken’s Sewing.

@@salabova did you oil/lubricate the belt area? Is the belt too tight?

Is the belt in place?

@@lindaborza6629 glad the video helps

@@sadacpa you’re welcome, glad the video helps.

Yes, I have never had one come undone and I made several hundred items using this technique.

Please explain, what is not close enough

Closer so can see more around the needle area. Found another video where I could. Thanks anyway for the video

Okay. Maybe you’re not aware, but you can zoom in on the video.

Didn’t know you could! Thanks

@@veronicab3119 I didn’t either, we learn something everyday.

So glad you didn’t toss it. Be sure to watch my other videos, just type in my name and they should come up.

Unfortunately I will not be making anymore videos on this machine as it worked only the 1 day I made the video. It has turned into an expensive door stop. It’s a shame that Consew doesn’t even put out videos.

@@jeanetteweger5518 Oh this is a shame. I thought I’d be able to finally make a use out of it. Thank you so much for your reply.

Thank you and I’m glad the video helped!!

I didn’t try it that way but I don’t see why you can’t.

Yes I use the wide needle, no needle in the middle.

I actually don’t have this attachment anymore because I don’t like the thickness of the binding. I sold this attachment and bought a generic on eBay called top clean bottom raw. It’s half the thickness and you do have to tape it to the machine but the results are so much better, besides the attachment being so much cheaper as well. With a top clean bottom raw, basically the top is being folded while the underside is flat and the raw edge underneath is covered by the stitches of the machine.

I’m glad the video helps. It does take a bit of practice and I don’t know if your particular machine has a designated binding foot but check to see because the Brother does only if you buy the binding attachment. It helps tremendously because on the side of the foot is a flat guide to help keep the fabric from straying.

Glad the video helped.

Glad this video helps. With regards to your feed dog issue, it may seem like they go up and down but as long as the fabric feeds thru, the feed dogs are fine. They do move forward to help feed the fabric thru, it just may not be so noticeable.

Private message me thru my FB and I’ll help you thru it.

Glad it helps. Be sure to watch the others they should help you thru as well

So glad the video helped. You can always private me thru FB with any issues.

@@jeanetteweger5518 Thankyou.

You need to go thru a dealer, we’re here go thru Ken’s Sewing. Hope you can find what attachments you’re looking for.

Some actually use a hammer on thick seams to flatten them.

I’m so glad they are helping you. If you have issues please feel free to private message me and I’ll help you thru.

Hope it helps.

You’re welcome.

It should but again, don’t use jean thread, it’s too thick.

Glad this video helps.

Message me thru my FB and I’ll help you.

DM me thru my FB page so we can go thru this together.

I have several videos on this machine that I think I’ve covered everything. Is there a particular issue you need addressed?

@@jeanetteweger5518 no not a one. I've seen them all. I just wondered about you. Happy new year 🎊

@@DiannaAtherton Happy New Year to you as well!

Did you cut your strip the correct width?
