Hi, I've had the 2000CPX since Jan 2022 and I am soo pleased with the way all my garments have that professional finish I had failed to achieve with twin needles or sewing two single lines for stretch hems!! Recently my machine was acidentally dropped and despite replacing the necessary parts sucessfully I experienced varying success one some fabric, especially ITY which tunnelled, missed stitches and puckered. This troubleshooting guide was so helpful! The acknowledgement that this model is unforgiving unless everything is sgh!!et up correctly. The explanation of the setting this nice lady uses enabled me to reset my machine and YAY!! test pieces including ITY stitched perfectly first time!!! I cannot thank you enough!! Thank you!!

[@robyncurtis8542]

I have just purchased the 2000CPX (waiting for it to arrive). I had an Elna Coverstitch machine about 15 years ago which died after 10 years (unrepairable) and from what I can see, they have come a long way. The videos on KZbin are brilliant .... didn't have them back in the day. Love how the all the settings and links are below the video and will probably know heaps about my new machine before it arrives. HAPPY SEWING 😊

[@sandreawhite7534]

I have the 1000CPX and I love this machine. I have not had any issues with it. There are several reasons why I chose this machine 1. I did not want to constantly convert my serger in the middle of sewing a garment. I wanted a dedicated machine. 2. Look at the throat plate. Over 5”. You can get your fabric as far over as you need. Not possible on the Baby Lock or the Juki. If I have a two pieced garment I can get to that seam and reinforce it. I like the fact that it’s similar to a sewing machine too. I think this machine is awesome. I also think your videos are awesome!

[@clarethornley4508]

Thanks a million Johanna for pointing out that little thread guide slot for the looper (below the tension disc). I would never have found that otherwise. All your tips are so helpful for us newcomers to the Janome.

[@Thelaststitch]

Thank you, that makes me very happy to hear!

[@hoonmeisterhoonmeister6522]

Really instructive tutorial. I have used my Coverstitch machine straight out of the box and love it. I purchase a really cheap one previously and had to return it twice (also the replacement machine. I have found Janome machines to be reliable and as Johanna has said - a good machine for the price. I ma loving my Coverstitch and am using it for hemming everything in sight. I only sew knit fabrics and have done so for many years as they are so much fun to sew and comfortable to wear. Decorative threads in the machine (such as metallic) also give a stunning finish to some garments. I believe my Janome Coverstitch has been a good investment.

[@absewlutelyfabulous880]

Thank you Johanna for all your efforts x

[@cloff3153]

I bought the Janome CoverPro 1000CPX because, basically it was the only one I could get in a Covid lock down Canada, but I have been *very* happy with it. I bought your book when I got it and it was really helpful. (Thanks !

[@lindabridges445]

I have had this machine for a bit over a year. I really do like the features (larger work area on the right for one). Only problems I have had have related to operater errors (LOL). Like this video. I received your book "Master The Coverstitch Machine". Good book to have by side.

[@Thelaststitch]

Thank you for getting my book! Yes there will always be a learning curve, but it's so rewarding when we crack a code!

[@cadimoser7728]

Great video! I’m in the market for a coverstitch machine and this was very informative. Thank you!

[@machiningpaper]

Needing to thread the machine correctly is not a fault with the machine. I do not know of a machine you can thread incorrectly that will work fine. I am still quite new to using this machine, but I have enjoyed the stability and rigedness, the instuctions worked for me and I was able to rethread and get going straight away, your videos were a great preparation, thank you. I do mostly sew batches of a garment, I started with vests last autumn and it does help to make a simple garment and learn something and make another and again and, I am sure it would be more challenging to change fabrics and curves and threads each time I use the machine. That said I have been loving this machine.

[@Thelaststitch]

You bring up such a great point! But I suspect that people can get away with sloppier threading on other machines and it won't be as obvious as on the coverstitch machines where the seam literally breaks or unravels if not threaded correctly. I'm happy to hear you like yours and I agree it is a sturdy machine, which I really appreciate!

[@hrachelp3316]

Thanks for this helpful video. I have purchased a secondhand coverpro 1000 and after seeing discusions on how some love it and some hate it I am a little nervous about trying my machine. It is in my sisters town so I will pick it up on summer holidays. This will help me be prepared!

[@Thelaststitch]

You should be fine! The trick is to set it up properly and practise! The only recurring mechanical issue I've heard about the 1000 is that sometimes the feed dogs are too low, but any mechanic can fix that (and you can also try doing it yourself)

[@cocomaurer4012]

I own the Janome Cover Pro 2000. It work very well...when I have a special Thread like you showed☺. When i have to stop during sewing, I do the Needle always into the Jersey. The Crossings from the Serger, I do press the Iron on, bevor I sew it. Two Years ago I chosed the Janome, because the BabyLock was icredible fast...in the meantime they changed the Speed😂

[@suzannehull6853]

This was so useful and solved my annoying slipped stitch problems. Thanks!

[@izabelaanisiewicz4899]

Hi Johanna I just found your info about Janos on KZbin. I have Janome 900 almost 1 yer. Working perfectly till now. I discovered cover stitching year ago because start working as seamstress. Great machine. Last days my machine start skipping stitches . I have EL x 705 needles try rethread couple times - nothing help . I starting watching you on KZbin hope I find clue THAK You Izabela

[@julietteprouse8878]

Super helpful, thank you. And, totally unrelated, I love how you say Janome!

[@marywagner5088]

Hello be Johanna, I am fairly new to watching your videos. I must say, you have the qualities of a natural teacher! I currently have a Janome coverstitch machine, just haven't been able to practice with it yet, as it is being stored, waiting for my sewing space to be completed. When that time comes, I would love to invite you to visit me in Michigan, USA.

[@Thelaststitch]

Thank you for the invite 😊 Hope you'll like it once you get your new sewing space. I find it absolutely invaluable and would not want to be without mine 😊

[@vickipeterson7864]

Tack så mycket! In the US you can buy the Elna Easycover which is the exact same machine as the Janome 2000cpx. And it is often, for some reason, less expensive.

[@lettygwanzura8841]

Very informative video. I really enjoyed watching it as I want to get myself a cover stitch machine.

[@Thelaststitch]

Thank you, happy to hear you found it helpful!

[@corrinelutz3607]

Thank you for this video! I just bought a used 2000 yesterday, and am wondering if there's a video you have done (or somewhere you can point me to) that shows how to thread the machine.

[@FrontYardAdventures]

Thanks for your review! I purchased my Janome Coverpro 2000 in December after watching a couple of your other coverstitch videos and testing some machines. One of the biggest advantages is the large sewing arm space on the Janome compared to the Juki and Babylock coverstitch machines. I like having a lot more room to maneuver.

[@Thelaststitch]

Yes the sewing bed and arm is fantastic and when I look at other coverstitch machines I too feel that that area seems so small. almost like a serger.

[@marissadrew8233]

Where you can buy the Janome Coverpro 2000 ?? I can’t find anywhere on websites.. Please advise. Thank you in advance!

[@ericlagescalca6191]

Just to set fire to the conversation... I hardly doubt engineers would place that lower hole on the thread dispenser if there was no point to do that. This is a pretty common issue I see also with Janome sergers. Perhaps it can be a translation issue that doesn't exactly point the purpose... or a lack of communication between engineers and manual writers. The thing is: if you want to match manual results as for tension, you'll get that by first threading it through the hole (front to back) and then proceeding. It matches both manuals' settings EXACTLY if you do that. It adds further tension and stabilization (I sew with a fan to my face). It also helps with twisting and tangling and breaks if you work with wooly nylon. Try that and you will see that the tension recommendations will get much closer to the manual... and this simple thing makes things so much easier to solve. The differences are huge. With my Janome serger if I do the hole, the standard tensions are crispy 3. If i skip that it fluctuates around 5-6-7. It also helps with the speed... because we Janome owners know: they DO vibrate a lot. Having that extra stability makes the stiches extra beautiful.

[@Thelaststitch]

Fascinating stuff, I had no idea that was an option. It has not been addressed in any manual I've seen. I will try that and see if I to can spot a difference!

[@ericlagescalca6191]

In theory, if you get too high tensions you should skip that and if you have too lose tensions you should thread that, but that's for standard thread only... In the industry we in Brazil work with threads in the needles and delicate wooly nylon for loopers (looks nicer, softer touch to the skin, extra elasticity, lower price...). But I tested a lot. Out of the box both sergers and coverstich machines work best with that threaded and the standard manual setting matches beautifully... with very light fabric I may consider skipping it, but I don't do ballerina or ice skater outfits... The quality of the stiches gets outstandingly crisp - not something a beginner or occasional sewer would care about... but seasoned folks can spot it right away... Try and let me know what you think...

[@hrachelp3316]

What is the lower hole on the thread dispenser?

[@ericlagescalca6191]

hrachel p not sure how it is called in English (not even in Portuguese tbh), the antena-like thing above the cones (thread guide maybe?). There is a hole and an indentation for each cone. Manuals show the hole unthreaded. In my xp, the machines work better with them threaded... stiches are prettier, tensions match the settings in the manuals more precisely, less tangling and breaks overall and especially when working with wooly nylon thread.

[@hrachelp3316]

Eric Lages Calça thanks, i think I know what you mean, when I get my coverpro I will try that!

[@Hausfrauenglueck]

Thank you very much for your videos!!! Very thorough and well explained. It did help me a lot and now I am no more frustrated with my Janome. ❤️❤️❤️ And also thank you so very much for adding the basic settings in the description!!!!

[@jenniebaker2970]

Love the janome 2000cpx. Have made lots of garments with it. Its not the machine, it's the operator if things go wrong.

[@nancicoia3116]

Great video! Appreciate your tips!😁

[@zelmagutierrez6798]

Thanks for your video, it helped me a lot!

[@knitterliness]

I bought this machine within the last 3 months and have used it extensively. I agree that this machine is a great machine, especially for the price, and it's all about getting it set up. Mine has worked perfectly straight out of the box without any readjustments necessary; but I have not yet gone far astray of simple hemming as yet. I'm about to do some chain stitch with decorative thread for the first time. Janome and the videos I see on KZbin are pretty clear about the process and the settings needed. Also, FYI Organ needles come in the specified sizes and are significantly cheaper than Schmetz.

[@Thelaststitch]

Good to know about the Organs, I bought the stretch needles recently for my regular sewing machine and they seem good. Though they ELX are not available in Sweden from what I can tell

[@brookelynrosester]

I have this exact coverstitch machine. I sew mostly with knits and was wondering about the tension settings. I am a newbie coverstitcher and what has worked is to set the looper tension at 0 and other 2 or 3 needles at 2-3. It seems so strange for the tension settings to be so low and was wondering if that is unusual?

[@HandmadeByDitsyTulip]

Thanks for sharing, I’m just starting to research in readiness for my first coverstitch purchase, which Phaff machine did you have that wasn’t great? There is a second hand phaff model for sale nearby so wondered whether to consider this

[@Thelaststitch]

Hi! My Pfaff was called Coverstyle, it was a combo machine that is no longer sold. I bought mine back in 2004

[@debbieh]

Thanks for the Video. Would you recomend to buy a Combi-lock (Overlock+Coverlock)?

[@2847Katie]

Really need some help. I have purchased the hem guide for the 2000 cpx. The slider is far left and cannot go any further. I need to do a 1.5 cm narrow hem on a knit. Can you use the other holes over the looper cover? It's not covered in your book. Thank you.

[@myralorraine]

Great video Johanna! And thanks so much for sharing your valuable information! I have the Brother Cover Stitch machine and it is a recent purchase. So far I love it, but you are absolutely correct… If not set up properly your results will definitely be impacted negatively!

[@Thelaststitch]

Good to hear that you are loving it! They truly are great machines when we want to take our knit sewing to the next level. And just as you say, I think all coverstitch machines needs to have to be set-up properly to fully work how they are supposed to, regardless of brand

[@ilifertor]

What’s your advice on the Singer Pro5 cover/overlock? Thank you 😊

[@almostgem]

I have this machine and have been using it now for a couple of years as well. Wanted the double coverstitch ability, and picked up a refurbed and lightly used Brother CV3550 - I find the brother much more sensitive than the janome, and often have skipped stitches and broken threads. Also find that the Janome does a much better job of locking the stitches as compared to the brother when stitching using the same stitch pattern. ie. not the double cover.

[@almostgem]

Was originally looking for the Elna 845 serger that has the double coverstitch. I have an old Elna 945 that makes such a beautiful stitch, that I would most likely have had the 845 setup for coverstitch only. But alas, could not find one in the USA, or at least in the USA close to me.

[@markwilliams1824]

Not a good job explaining, a fantastic job! I’m off to get my new sewing/quilting machine this morning n demo on this machine! Written down some of your pints to talk about! Great help!

[@makeva100]

How do I find the thread guide for the lopper. Can only see the questions?

[@margaretfinnimore6258]

Hi Johanna Thank you for the interesting review. I decided to buy the Babylock after reading lots of reviews and issues surrounding other coverstitch machines and expected to be flying high from the start. However, I have found that like the Janome, I have to play around with the tensions, foot pressure, threads, needles etc and it has definitely not been as straightforward as I expected. However, it is early days for me as I have only recently ventured into coverstitch world so many of the issues I am experiencing are no doubt down to user error and just getting used to the machine. There are two really irritating issues for me - firstly, the speed of the machine seems very difficult to control - a slight touch of the foot pedal sends the machine racing ahead and I am struggling to get used to this lack of control, and the second has been when trying to coverstitch over the top of a serged seam. The presser foot seems to bunch at the start of the seam and trying to pull the fabric through from the back whilst maintaining control of the speed of the machine not moving the feed dogs forward causes a good old tangle to unpick. Hopefully practice and patience will eventually get me over these initial hurdles but as you said in your review - the coverstitch is a fabulous addition but it requires a lot more work to master than the overlocker/serger or standard sewing machine. Thank you again x

[@machiningpaper]

Margaret Finnimore, swap the peddle. If you have a pedal you really like use that. The peddle is a large factor in controlling power.

[@Thelaststitch]

Thank you for sharing your experience with the BL, it always interesting to hear how the machines compare. As for the foot, the same model came with the Janome and I'm not loving it either. When we pay so much $$ one would expect better quality in that department. As for the presser foot issue, a combination of longer stitch length and experimenting with the presser foot pressure can help. Also lowering the diff feed can be worth trying

[@margaretfinnimore6258]

Thank you Johanna - I will try the tip about the DF as I didn't try that. I did lower the presser foot pressure and that helped a bit but it still bunched up at the start of the seam. The really annoying thing is that all the information says that coverstitch seams unravel easily if the ends are loose - I think they should add that this only applies to the seams that you want to stay in place and not the ones that you are trying to unpick!!! Thank goodness for the seam ripper x

[@absewlutelyfabulous880]

A good way of reducing bulk is to snip into the serged seam without cutting the stitch but getting really close. Then press the serged seam that will be in the hem in the opposite direction to the rest of the seam. Also hand wheeling over the seam helps as does lifting the presser foot a little to let the seam relax, then lowering it and continuing.

[@margaretfinnimore6258]

Thank you for the tip - I was making cycling jerseys and had serged all the the seams and then using the coverstitch to topstitch the seams, rather than using the coverstitch to hem. Unfortunately I couldn't press the fabric as it was a stretch poly performance lycra and I was using wooly nylon in the lower looper. I did try to flatten the seams but I think the fabric was a bit too springy. Thank you again - all tips much appreciated x

[@pinsandneedlesx8825]

Is this only for knit or can it be used on woven

[@cynsew]

I noticed on your threading that you are not threading your thread through both holes on the thread bar. Is this the proper way to do it ? I thought it was suppose to go through both holes. Any suggestions on which way is best?

[@ashleybows5289]

I just got mine used and my feed dogs are not moving the fabric, any advice?

[@gwengorospe5260]

I have a question about the CoverPro 2000 CPX. First of all this is the first Cover Stitch machine I have owned. Now, my problem is that about 80% of the time I use it, the threads won't release underneath the stitch plate. I know to pull the needle threads out and cut them, but I can't get them to release at the bottom. It is almost like the fabric has been sucked in. I have taken it in for repair at least 3 times and the people don't ever have that problem. I cannot get it to replicate at the shop, so it is obviously something I am doing when I am sewing at home. Please, any help you might have. I had decided to replace it, but I read the reviews and it is right at the top for my money. Thanks so very much, Gwen Gorospe

[@hese61]

No matter what brand and/or model domestic coverstitch machines are these are temperamental divas. In clothing industry professional cs-machines are from another planet. Those machines work almost 24/7/365. However, I am looking forward to the new Janome CP 3000p...

[@linalinux]

Tack för videon, väldigt hjälpsamt! Vad säger du till folk som tycker den är kinkig med trådkvaliét? Är det nåt du hört/märkt av? Jag vill inte vara tvungen att köpa dyrare tråd för att den ska sy ordentligt. :)

[@rdfjfgjyfdhfghy67456]

I hope you'll do one about the janome 3000. They should be sponsering you by now!

[@alysonray6218]

Great video! Thank you! I have had my 2000 for some time. It works pretty good when just heming simple knits. However if I have attached a neckband to a T-shirt and the want to top stitch, it is aMESS! I know it is going through several layers, but feel like it should be able to do this. Do you have any tips on that. I am tempted to give up and get a BLCS., but trying g to hang I there with the Janome. I took it in to see if it needed some adjustments, so maybe when I get it back things will be better. Thank you again.

[@Thelaststitch]

I shall come to the rescue: Here is an extensive tutorial I have done on the Janome binder, which yielded amazing results after loads of experimenting! www.thelaststitch.com/2017/10/coverstitch-binder-attachment-tutorial/

[@alysonray6218]

Last Stitch Thank you! Will check out! I do not have a binder attachement, so when I attach a ribbed neckband to a knit neckline, I serge and then top stitch with my coverstitch machine. That is what I am having trouble with. It is basically top stitching over 4 layers and it skips a lot. Any tips!?

[@Thelaststitch]

Aha! Here are some tips: Switch to 90 needles, increase the pressure foot pressure, max stitch length and use the 3-thread serger overlock as it less bulky than the 4-thread. Hope you haven't tried all these yet!

[@india239]

I was using my Bernina L220 today, thinking how great it is to use. Then I discovered that just after I checked at the beginning of the neckband, a thread snapped. And for some reason although when both threads are present the chain unzips all too easily , nog like this. I had to cut every second looper stitch to get back to the beginning

[@felitang2207]

I Just bought a Janome Coverpro 2000 to sew all Knit and Jersey Fabric, please tell me, where can I buy the needles for Knit jersey? Thank you so much for your reviews.

[@sirpanurmela7774]

Hallo! Thank for your videos. I'm from Finland and My English are not so good, but U think I understand mutch..hm by the way. Do you heard about the skipstitch...you can lift up the theeth that is taking the fabric forward.There should be some screw under the foot. What do you think about this. 🌸

[@Thelaststitch]

I heard that tip too, and a mechanic told me it was a particular problems of the first batch of Janome Coverpros and they were not set up for sewing on thicker knits

[@elvasais1920]

Can you update another review on the CoverPro2000? I never, in the last 5 years ever skipped a stitch. If I had listened to this before, I wouldn't have bought my machine. What do you like about this machine?

[@almhinds]

please can you do a similar video for the Brother CX3550?

[@elvasais1920]

I have the Baby lock cover-stitch. This machine is much simpler and easier to set up!

[@notesfromleisa-land]

I'm really mad at you! I have an old Bernette 334DS serger (made by Juki I most recently came to know), and an older mechanical Bernina and a newer Bernina (purchased last year when I wanted a few more things than my basic 7 stitch 910 could do!). I used both of my older machines to sew knit tank dresses for my daughter, maternity clothes for myself and some home stuff (drapes, pillows, cushions). I'm self taught. No KZbin way back then. Fast forward...Last year I pulled out my machines, had them serviced and began sewing again after a long hiatus. I was remembering how wonderful my daughter's tank dresses were, and I said to self, "Self, you should make one for yourself". I did, and it is the most comfortable thing I own...soft, cool, comfortable, cute....Unfortunately, it led me to be covetous of the professional seam finishes. I remembered seeing a video of yours on a coverstitch, and I did not know really what it was...until I saw my hem...yes, The Last Stitch was talking about this very thing. Hmmm...it was a feeding of an addition! (Hence my joke about being mad at you!) After much consideration, I elected to buy the Juki MCS 1500. (I turn 60 next month so it was my bday present to myself!) Your commentary was very, very instrumental in helping me feed my addiction,,,er...decided! As this machine that has been upgraded to another model, I was able to get really good savings. No clear foot though. As my serger works great more than 30 years later, I was comfortable with choosing this brand again. Flawless reviews. I've not received it yet, but thanks to professionals such has yourself, dedicated to sharing clear information, I'm not scared of it. Thanks so much for all that you do! And thank you for INSPIRING me making an investment in something to improve my sewing satisfaction with more professional finishing.

[@NeedleAndFred]

Do you use a binder attachment at all? I want to get one but they're pretty pricey so would like to know some more about them and their uses (single fold vs double fold etc)

[@Thelaststitch]

Yes I do, but it is overpriced and cumbersome to use. I have blogged about all the attachments here: www.thelaststitch.com/2018/05/janome-coverpro-accessories-feet/

[@sussiekronquistrecksen8850]

Hej Johanna. Tänker köpa en coverstitch men har inte bestämt mig riktigt än för vilken. Men jag har hört att det är viktigt att ha wolly nylon tråd i loopern. Hörde i din video att du använder det o har googlat men hittar den inte att köpa här i Sverige. Var köper du din tråd och tycker du att det är så viktigt som jag hört? Tack för mycket en inspirerande o hjälpsam kanal👍 /Sussie

[@hounamao7140]

Thank you for the review! Just a hint, Janome is Japanese and would be pronounced Ja-no-meh and not "yanom" meaning the eye of the snake ;)

[@Thelaststitch]

Thank you for sharing this! 😊

[@louiezmum]

There is a new Janome coverstitch out now, the 3000cpx. Are you going to try this one out any time soon?

[@lesw3803]

It may help you to take a screenshot of the front right of the 100CPX. It has a graph of the proper settings. I think the 1000 is superior to the 2000

[@gjones6402]

Where can you buy the Schmetz needles ELx705CF SUK in the UK that you recommend Thanks.

[@Thelaststitch]

I have no idea since I live in Sweden and buy mine locally. Have you checked Amazon?

[@karenwetherall7310]

G Jones - I bought mine online just last week from splashingoffabric.co.uk

[@mcanisthal]

Hmmm...my cpx2000 says only use organ needles. I’m confused now. 😫

[@Thelaststitch]

Maybe it's for different markets? The main thing is that it's ELX system, which Organs make too

[@almostgem]

Mine also says use ELX 705 needles. Doesn't specify a brand, but I also have an Elna 945 5 Thread serger which uses the same needles, so have a lot of schmetz. Was looking for the Elna coverstitch machine when I found the Janome, which I believe is made in the same factory as the Elna

[@jocelynepepin2904]

Janome 2000cpx or Brother 3550? Which one make a nice sewing?

[@masirol]

Same question

[@elizabethwatt8131]

I very much appreciate your advice on operation of the Janome 2000. The only problem I had, was trying desperately to concentrate on what you were saying. I find your Swedish accent very heavy and you speak very fast. I tried slowing down the video speed but that did not help. Maybe I’m just dumb.

[@india239]

I find her very easy to understand but then I’m Scottish so a pro at difficult accents

[@sarahb2582]

Hi I agree it is a good cover machine but I don’t
