Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteHello, I have the Janome CoverPro and I was wondering about the binding attachment
ReplyDeleteYour blog is so informative! I was wondering if you could share the pattern, if there is one, for the turquoise top with the 'knot' in the front.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Thanks for all the examples. But now how may I find the how-to's for some of these techniques? How do I do a "straddled" stitch?
ReplyDeleteThe straddled stitch is just needle placement over the seam. Line up the center mark of the presser foot with the seam.
ReplyDeletenow i have stopped thinking about buying a coverstitch machine!!! i am going out to buy one tommorrow. thank you for your excellent blog
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing. I was going to trade in my Coverstitch, but then decided against it. I am so glad I kept it.
ReplyDeleteThank you. This is an excellent tutorial on coverstitch sergers. I have a Elna 745 and never realized you could get attachments to help give a professional look. I plan to work my way through your tutorial. All those examples you give in the beginning looked so good. Thank you
ReplyDeleteWow! Lots of examples. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWow! Lots of different ideas here. Thank you for sharing all these pictures.

Oh yes, Dawnie-poo needs a binder!!!!!
ReplyDeletewow, you're very talented!! Don't you never have any skipping titches? I own the JANOME 1000dx, and it doesn't like thickness switches at all....
ReplyDeleteI'm very upset with this one...
