This is the best Coverstitch video I have seen today! Thank you for showing: close-ups; repeating instructions at key parts of the process; actually doing the work as opposed to just talking about it or how easy it is without showing. Great job!
I have owned many sergers, Bernina (2) Viking (1) and they were TOL I never did anything except rolled hems and overlock to finish seams. I purchased a Babylock Evolution and I have experimented with quite a few stitches, so much fun not spending hours threading and fiddling with tensions! Today I needed to shorten a jersey knit slip, am I brave enough to try cover stitch... YES... and your explanation of beginning and ending was EXCELLENT! I just finished and the hem was perfect . Thank you for the excellent tips.
I am stunned! I have not seen this ending done so perfectly, and I am "a serger expert." I have done BabyLock's certification training and Martha Pullen Serger licensing. I have taught serger for new owners and projects over the last 15 years, and have never seen the final step of drawing the threads to the back like that! I love it! Thank you SOOOOOO much!
This video is very well done. Unnecessary details are left out and the demonstration focuses on the trickiest and most important portion of the cover hem. This video is well worth your time to watch. The demonstrator should also be teaching classes on how to do You Tube videos. Great job!
Excellent, clear, unambiguous instructions with no irrelevant chat. The tip about rotating the fabric before removing it is brilliant! Well done Superior Threads.
Thank you so much for this lesson. You are an excellent teacher and made it so simple by going step by step with us. I have been very timid to get started with the coverstitch. I wasn't sure about the ending. You cleared it up in the easiest video I have watched about it.
Thanks so much for this very informative video. Can't tell you how many times I have had a problem with the threads releasing when I have finished serging a coverstitch hem. Can't wait to try this method. Marie L.
Thank you so much for explaining this so well. I only have my coverlock a few weeks and was really struggling to finish off in the round. All of this serging and coverstitching is new to me and I have just managed to do a really neat finish thanks to you
Perfect - to the point, excellent example particularly when the fabric is moved off to the side, the threads are cut then the fabric is pulled away. Had not seen that before! Great technique and her voice was easy to listen to as well....not screechy high and didn't blab on and on about things not related to what she was showing us. Thank you!
Just finishing up my first project with my Singer professional 5 thread serger/coverstitch machine and about to do the finishing cover stitch for the first time ever. I appreciate your no nonsense tutorial; thanks!
Can a simple serger do this. Or do I need an overstitch machine. Just found you. I like your calm voice and your calm way of teaching. Now I need to find a video that shows me how to undo a serged neckline. Thank you again. Will be back to watch other videos.
Wow. IT IS great! I have Pfaff Cover 4872 and IT works! I love You. IT was my nightmare end coverstich on this machine. I bought it therefore Brother CV 3550, but that Is not So perfect on some materials. Thank You very much ! Michaela from Prague
I have a Babylock Evolve. It has a cover stitch and is a serger, it will also thread itself. It does everything! She is using a Babylock that is just like mine.
I am a complete newbie with a serger. I need to immediately repair a pair of athletic shorts with a cover stitch on the hem. I am not sure what to thread for this stitch. I wish I had time to take a class, but I do not. You are a great teacher, but I need more information. I am sure if you already are very familiar with your machine, this video would be great. Thank you!
The title reads that this is a coverhem stitch performed with a serger. Is that truly serger or a coverstitch machine? I am just trying to understand how to do the coverhem with my serger and I do not see how this will work.
OK. So if I have only a serger/overlock machine, I could add “coverstitches” as a decorative element as long as I follow these instructions? Might be a good idea if I test this out first?
@Miss Sarah, your serger needs to have built-in coverstitch capabilities to sew this stitch. I recommend giving your machine manual a quick read through to verify if your machine has the capability 👍
The tutorial is very well done, but the title is completely misleading. The machine you're using is not a serger as per the title. A serger cannot create that kind of coverhem.

I'm an old-timer and boy did this old dog just learn a new trick. What a great explanation and video. I thank you so very much for this.
Thank you for sharing! Don’t know how many other videos I watched that was not helpful before I found yours. Exactly what I was trying to find.
This video is very well done. Unnecessary details are left out and the demonstration focuses on the trickiest and most important portion of the cover hem. This video is well worth your time to watch. The demonstrator should also be teaching classes on how to do You Tube videos. Great job!
Can you please take up residence at my home? Thanks for a thorough, no nonsense video that doesn't waste your time. Best ever!!!
Excellent, clear, unambiguous instructions with no irrelevant chat. The tip about rotating the fabric before removing it is brilliant! Well done Superior Threads.
One of the best advise i got... Made life so much easier.
Great to hear!
This video makes it very clear how to start and stop making a hem with a coverlock serger! An excellent tutorial! Thanks a lot, Sue.

I cannot thank you enough for this video. This is exactly what I have been looking for!
So glad I found you 😊
Just finishing up my first project with my Singer professional 5 thread serger/coverstitch machine and about to do the finishing cover stitch for the first time ever. I appreciate your no nonsense tutorial; thanks!
Excellent video! This explains in perfect detail how to fix a problem that's been plaguing me for awhile. Thank you!
Excellent presentation. Best demonstration I have seen for doing circular cover stitch with finishing off.
Thank you. Very helpful. Love that expression, ". . . how to end the hem gracefully."
Great tutorial. Clever the way she brings the cover stitch to the back!
Thank you so much Sue. That's a great technique and you presented it very clearly.
EXCELLENT!!! Best video I ever saw on this topic of coverhem. Thank you very much!
Excellent video, very clear and precise instructions. Thank you.
You are an awesome instructor, I took your 3day serge a thon and it was invaluable thanks Sue Green
Why don't they explain that in the manuals? SO easy! Thank you Sue...Outstanding tutorial!
THANKS! So glad you have shared this hack as it has never occurred to me!
Best explanation on how to do this technique.❤️👍
Very clear and easy to follow directions.

Just got my Ovation. A great lesson especially for a beginner serger. And love your thread also!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! Great demonstration and explanation!
Excellent video. Thank you, Sue!

Looking for this info since several weeks. Thanks a lot for sharing :)
Sue....thank you so much :-) a brilliant tutorial....am off to end off my cover hem gracefully. Thank you :-)
Nicely done
What a time saver. Thanks so much.
Wow… you are special indeed! ❤
Thank you so much for your clear demo. Much appreciated!
Thanks for a great lesson.
Very nicely explained! Thank you!
Great tutorial!
This is wonderful information. Thank you thank you !
Brilliant, thank you.
Great tip! Thank you for sharing!
Very nice tutorial!
Superior tutorial! Babylock could learn from you how to explain stitch and functions on the serger.
Especially showing actual pant leg, not a flat sample!
Thank you! Excellant video
A regular SERGER cannot sew a coverstitch hem. You have to have an actual COVERSTITCH machine. They are two different things.
I have a Babylock Evolve. It has a cover stitch and is a serger, it will also thread itself. It does everything! She is using a Babylock that is just like mine.
EXCELLENT information
This looks like a coverstitch machine, isn't it? My serger looks totally different and the threads are all woven together.
I am a complete newbie with a serger. I need to immediately repair a pair of athletic shorts with a cover stitch on the hem. I am not sure what to thread for this stitch. I wish I had time to take a class, but I do not. You are a great teacher, but I need more information. I am sure if you already are very familiar with your machine, this video would be great. Thank you!
Awesome, is it fair to assume that you have your knives down since I did not see that there was any cutting of the fabric happening??
epic babylock ovation..i currently own 2 babylock evolutions...
The title reads that this is a coverhem stitch performed with a serger. Is that truly serger or a coverstitch machine? I am just trying to understand how to do the coverhem with my serger and I do not see how this will work.

😲, Smart.
Love that trick. ❤️
Question - What settings should the serger be on to achieve that stitch ? I don't even know what it's called 🙈
@Miss Sarah, your serger needs to have built-in coverstitch capabilities to sew this stitch. I recommend giving your machine manual a quick read through to verify if your machine has the capability 👍
you should have told how to set your serger up to do this cover hem. l'm a begginer and just learning about all this.
Is this a coverstitch machine or an overlocker?
This machine (Baby Lock Ovation) is an overlocker with coverstitch capabilities.
Is this an ovation or triumph? And is the little extension table an attachment? I just bought an ovation.
This is an Ovation. The extension table is a separate attachment. Congratulations on your new serger!
Superior Threads thank you!!
What did she use a sewing machine?
A Baby Lock Ovation serger. This is a different machine than a home sewing machine.
The tutorial is very well done, but the title is completely misleading. The machine you're using is not a serger as per the title. A serger cannot create that kind of coverhem.
Fantastic. Thank you very much. 👍🏻
