Baby Lock Triumph - Cover Stitch Threading & Setup

[@bessyrose]

I have watched this video so many time, and it has finally clicked for me. I appreciate how calmly and slowly you went through everything. Hard to miss those sore arthritic knuckles and they are so similar to mine that it gives me comfort and hope that I will continue sewing for a long time. Maybe I will figure out

This was so helpful. Thank you for providing this tutorial. I don't use the cover stitch very often.

[@maryt2887]

I really needed to see the back thread guide.

We just made a video on this. It's coming soon!

You are the best teacher. I got a Triumph in March of this year. I discovered your tutorials. They are so easy to understand. Thanks

[@mikado622]

Thank you so much, your tutorial was really helpful, it really is easier to see than make sense of instructions sometimes. Wish you had covered tension as well, still trying to figure this with my Gloria :P

I so enjoyed your videos! Thank you for teaching me. Ive had my Triumph for 3 years and scared to try cover stitch. You took away myy fear.

[@MontavillaSewing]

I'm so glad!

Awesome and very helpful

[@MontavillaSewing]

Glad to hear that!

I don't see any instrux in the booklets for the thread guide in the back. And it stumps me. Any info on that you can share? Meanwhile love your tutorials!

[@MontavillaSewing]

Hi Jaqui, we have received multiple inquiries about this and will be making a video soon!

[@jacquicarrion6929]

@@MontavillaSewing Thank you!!

[@carollittle7806]

Thank you for the tutorial!. I will have to look at all your tutorials/videos to help me get to know and operate my Triumph. What thread will be shown on the right side of the pants?

[@MontavillaSewing]

The top thread (in the needles)

Thank you. When would you want to use Right Narrow stitch as opposed to Left Narrow? Directions appear to be the same.

[@MontavillaSewing]

I use the right narrow overlock stitch and a short stitch length for finishing the edges of quilted coasters. It pivots well around the curves since there is only one needle in play. When you serge with just the right needle, you will need to change the selection lever to B, which tightens the loopers slightly to compensate for the narrower width. If you are talking about narrow cover stitch, then yes, there is not much difference. Just try them both to see which setup you prefer.

Can you have your knife engaged on a cover stitch? Thanks in advance for your answer. ❤

[@MontavillaSewing]

technically it can be engaged if you have the serger plate on the front cover. though ideally you would use the coverstitch plate. we also can't think of any practical application for cutting off fabric while coverstitching, since you would be cutting off the hem of something, or cutting a raw edge, which you would usually use a safety stitch for (which uses the cover and serger stich at the same time.)
