The quality of that video is just amazing. You have obviously invested in some really high quality video recording equipment. Such clear instructions. I don’t even have a cover stitch machine but definitely want one!
Such a great video thank you Johanna. I had been using a coverstitch machine for a while, and with all its challenges before I found your book, which is a must for anyone with a coverstitch machine.
This is exactly what everyone needs about coverstitching! Thank yoy for showing the stitching up close, how to properly use it and how to tie iff when done. Thank you for not adding a 10 minute pointless why we need it at the start!!!!
I can't believe you posted this on the very day I'm finally going to try the cover stitch that was gifted to me. I'd already bought your book, but this was perfect timing to have a few hints!
I just got a cover stitch and am so excited. When I tried cover stitching a cotton t shirt material hem, the hem wasn’t wavy but it was “loose” or “baggy”? I can’t quite explain it. Does this mean I should iron it flat to ensure it doesn’t move and end up baggy and puffy? Maybe that’s why you gave the tip to baste? I guess I just figured I could hem without having to do anything extra to it or maybe I have to practice my technique to feed it evenly. Just not sure if my settings are off that creates this bagginess
Thank you for this. I'm hungry for all coverstitch tutorials, but there is so little out there! Indeed, I bought a coverstitch machine, and it bloody terrifies me! 😂
Thank you so much! Very timely information for me. I downloaded your coverstitch book in the past and must review it again as I have a new Janome Coverstitch 2000 and am almost afraid to use it.
Thank you so much for this, it’s so useful and so clear, really appreciate the time and effort you put in to all your tutorials. Any chance you could point me in the right direction for the longer length wonderclips, can’t seem to find them anywhere, thanks
Great videos I'm learning so much from you thank you so much! Is it possible to hem stretch denim on a coverstitch machine (skinny jeans for example)? Does chain stitch stretch enough for this or should I use the normal cover stitch you are using in the video? Thanks again!
I am not clear on the very last “pull”. Did you hold the top coverstitch thread tightly while you pulled or are those the treads that get pulled to the reverse side when you pull? Thank you for clarifying this for me.
I often hem using my cover stitch machine and I like to leave the fabric being folded up an inch more than what I want the hem to be. Fabric seems to feed more evenly. After stitching, I trim away the excess fabric with duckbill scissors.
I've been watching your videos in preparation for buying a coverstitch machine and I've finally done it, with the purchase of a second-hand Coverpro 2000cpx. The seller also included a copy of your book, so really happy with that, as it was on my purchase list. I've managed to re-thread and remove a needle to sew a two needle complete hem in the round on a dress I've shortened into a top - success. However, I'm not sure if the looper thread is right. The tension on the garment looks fine, but when I cut the top threads and tug the garment to pull the needle threads to the back and snip the looper thread, it seems to be quite hard to pull and puckers up. If I pull the looper thread on its own (without any work in the machine) it feels very stiff, but pulling on various points along its length between the threading points it seems fine. Is it supposed to be like that? The videos I've seen suggest it's quite easy to pull the work out. The needle threads are very easy to pull through. The machine had only been used three times, and the seller had it serviced as she had not used it for about a year, so it's been checked over and passed all tests.

The hump jumper is a genius idea!!!! Thank you!!!!
I always wondered how a cover stitch machine worked! Thank you for this demonstration!

How do you pivot with a coverstitch? I need to stitch up a split hem, then across, then down the other side!
Thanks Johanna. I’ve missed your videos - hope all is well with you. Diana
Thank you🎉🎉
