Live: All about coverstitching

[@rubiksist]

I just discovered your channel. I have bought the brother 2 weeks ago and yesterday I was sewing for the first time with it. I am really in love with it. Since I already own a brother sewing machine and a serger it was a no brainer to get the coverstitch. My first piece that I finished with it just feels so amazing!

[@sosuhob]

Just got onto your channel as I bought a Husqvarna Viking s25 combo machine. Must say I love it. It does take around 5 minutes to convert, but having all the tensions set automatically is a true blessing. And so is the “Sewing Advisor” which will change all tensions, stitch length and differential feed according to the fabric type I choose. It makes it all very easy.

[@renees2907]

Love my BLCS2 coverstitch - such a professional look vs. double needle, so versatile hemming, topstitching, reverse coverstitch, no tension or skipped stitch issues

[@francinemilette8535]

I did it! Purchased the Janome 2000CPX, have worked with it about 1 hour and I LOVE IT! It's smooth and precise.

[@Thelaststitch]

Yay! I am so happy for you! And I agree, after trying the Brother that I talk about in the video for a bit I appreciated even more how easy the Janome is to thread and use

[@martakarolinaYT]

Hello from Ireland and thank you for this very interesting series of coverstitch videos. I actually had the Brother machine that you refer to CV3550 and although I had great hopes for it...I decided to return it and it was too frustrating to fine tune it to make it work. There was more adjusting than actual sewing and I don't have time for it. It's a beautiful piece of equipment, but very fiddly and requires a lot of patience and love, which I didn't have. I'm sure many ppl would be delighted with it, especially for the top stitch option, I wasn't. Since then I'm a happy owner of Babylock Gloria (Triumph in US) and this is how driving P1 or Bugatti must feel. It's smooth, precise and works out of the box. No adjustments needed, operating it is a dream. It doesn't have any of those common coverstitch issues and I'm just a beginner in sewing and even more so in coverstitching. Not a single skipped stitch since I got it few weeks ago. I can't recommend it enough, but I understand that price might be an issue. Hope this helps someone. Thank you again for all the info and research that you put in your videos. Marta

[@morarivera9580]

Marta Slupska Hello, there. Just paid $599 for a Janome 1000cpx Coverpro at Amazon. I am still under the return window. I was really looking for Babylock prices but must rely on the Internet because there are no dealers close to us. Didn’t want to provide my email or phone as requested by dealers on-line because I get plenty spam and robot calls as it is. May I ask what is the baseball price that you got from your dealer for the coverstiitch?

[@nancypollard4531]

Wow 3 years later and this video is still ever so helpful. I finally decided to take the plunge and purchase a cover stitch machine. I've decided to go with the janome 900. I think it will do everything I want it to do without all the extra bells and whistles and problems that can come with that. So now I imagine I will be off to purchase your cover stitch book. I bought the jeans book and I love it.

[@norakathleenbertoglio4414]

I just bought a Baby Lock cover stitch machine yesterday! I will be buying your book from Amazon. Thank you for making this video.

[@Thelaststitch]

Thank you so much for getting my book and it makes so happy to hear that you found my content useful 😊

[@TheCynedd]

I love my Brother 3550CV double side coverstitch machine! A two of my sergers can convert to coverstitch but having a stand-alone coverstitch machine is the best if one often makes garments. The double side coverstitch machine is great to embellish garments, too. Too many people under-use their coverstitch and serger machines! This is a great video and I hope it motivates people to learn to use their coverstitch and overlocker machines to their full potential. Thank-you. I hope to read your book.

[@karenswerling5521]

I just received your Coverstitch book from Amazon and I am reading it all of the way through! My Juki MC 1500 Coverstitch machine is due to arrive tomorrow!! Thank you!

[@Thelaststitch]

Yay, that makes me so excited to hear, the Juki seem really good and thank you for getting my book 🙂

[@jcddcjjcdnz]

The book is a fantastic idea and very much needed. Great. This for me has been your most useful vlog to date.

[@Thelaststitch]

Thank you so much, that makes me very happy to hear!

[@SewingDee]

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience. I am considering a cover stitch machine and this video has been very helpful. Thank you.

[@jesspeak7543]

Extremely interesting video. I have a combination cover stitch and am getting ready to TRY to use it as it is a very long time since it was last used. I have been using my differential feed overlocker constantly for charity sewing , and perhaps avoiding my own hemming alterations. Most inspiring, Many thanks from Australia, Jess

[@tricia1234gm]

Hello Johanna. I just bought the Janome 2000cxp machine. I'm watching all of your videos on Coverstitching. Thank you

[@donnabenjamin9266]

I really enjoy your videos. I decided on coverpro 1000 cpx and love it! Thank you!!!

[@veritagwallace1956]

To help the foot petal stay put, I attached the wide (abt 2” wide) Velcro to the petal (1 side) and the other side to the carpet (or floor). Measure the length of the petal, use about 3-4”, in order to get the best grip. It stays put and doesn’t move around. With the petal being rather cheap and having no weight to it, the Velcro made it work! ✂️

[@bethh6527]

I'm really still quite a beginner - got my Juki MCS-1500 in July of last year - but so far, I love it! I had tried coverstitching with my combo serger, and it did a great job with wovens, but it ate knits like they were dessert. I'm hoping to learn about attachments and how to use them, even though I know there aren't many available specifically for the Juki... but there are some generics.

[@jonboz7585]

I just bought your Coverstitch Book on Amazon and will be reading it in a couple days. Thanks.

[@Thelaststitch]

Thank you so much for getting my book!

[@glendavanderberg3691]

I have a Bernina L220 and am very pleased with the professional look I get on my on handmade clothes - I'm glad that I made the investment

[@Thelaststitch]

Good to hear that Bernina does great coverstitch machines! And I totally agree, it's a worthwhile investment and really makes our makes more professional-looking

[@marybethfrain7165]

Good advice about the facebook groups ..I’m in a Janome coverstitch group ...so helpful ...( and I so benefited from your book !)

[@shellylefranc3364]

Hi Johanna I have the Janome coverpro 2000CPX. Had it over a year without real knowledge of how to use it. I'm devouring anything on the internet now. Jan- Feb 2021. I have your book on order from Amazon and hope it's here this week. I'm having troubles setting up my machine. I do have servers so have some knowledge but this is giving me a bit of grief. I refuse to give up as I'm dreaming of success. Thank you for your blog and videos. From Sask, Canada

[@Thelaststitch]

My book demonstrates the set-up on a Janome 2000CPX so just follow the instructions (which are clearly illustrated and very detailed) and you should be able to get it right. Thank you for ordering my book!

[@cecilianilsson1594]

Was dithering but in the end I got the Brother 3550 - love it, so easy to use, fab stitches and of course the extra looper

[@Thelaststitch]

Thank you for sharing your experience with the Brother 3550, good to hear that it delivers. I think this kind of machine will knock the feet of the competition unless they catch up

[@alisonlee4723]

I have a Baby Lock coverstitch machine, it is really brilliant, I always save up for something like this for longer because in MY experience you get what you pay for !

[@Thelaststitch]

You are so right! Having a sub-par machine will make each sewing session a dread, I stuck it out with a crappy CS machine for 10+ years and in hindsight, I should have saved up and gotten a better model much sooner.

[@amccish]

I have just bought the Janome CoverPro 2000cpx. I was originally thinking of BabyLock or Juki standalone machines after reading reviews of all of them but my local dealer (who sells all of them but they are not all available for demo) recommended this one. I only found your videos today but had already pre-ordered your book. I'm looking forward to better looking hems on stretch knits.

[@Thelaststitch]

Hi! I find that that the Janome, for the most part, serves me well, the trick is to experiment with the settings if one runs into problems. And thank you for pre-ordering my book, I show a lot of hemming techniques in the book, plus a lot of other cool stuff one can do with the coverstitch that goes beyond hemming!

[@bmack1778]

Hi Johanna. You seem to be on the right track. More cover stitching information is really needed and to obtain that info. one has to search and search some more. Would be great especially for the new sewist to have a good comprehensive source. Am sure you will do a great job. I have an Ovation and I highly recommend it. I bought it about 3 years ago and haven't looked back. The possibilities are endless especially as there are so many decorative threads available. Have used it with knits, cotton type wovens, wools, denims, canvas and even burlap. Usually if I am having difficulties, have found it has been user error and there is a great video explaining how to recheck settings, etc. and good user guide which came with the machine. Always an easy fix. I have fewer of these moments now. The secret is to learn your machine! I don't have any problems with threading and changing the functions. Hope this helps. Cheers. JoAn

[@Thelaststitch]

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! Everyone Ovation-owner I have talked to seems very pleased, and that goes to show that sometimes we do get what we pay for. Just wish it was a tiny less costly!

[@bmack1778]

I know that they are quite costly; a shame as it is often more than a young person can afford. There are alternatives, as you mentioned but some of the other machines come with their own difficulties which causes frustration which may lead to "tossing" garments in the bin. This topic leads to a possible chapter or two in your new book?!!!!!?? Getting the effect of a cover stitch with your sewing machine. There you go; food for thought. Have a lovely week. JoAn.

[@gracejones2194]

Yesterday I bought a Brother 3550 coverstitch. I don’t know where to start yet but I will get there. Thank you for making these video’s.

[@TheSplendidus]

your livestreams are great, lots of information, thank you

[@Thelaststitch]

Thank you so much :-)

[@sicplano]

I have the Bernina 1260 as well and couldn’t agree more that the pedal is superior. I did see where a replacement of this pedal is $600 so I made sure to keep the cat away from chewing the pedal cord. I have a Brother 2340 CV coverstich and it has a cheap lightweight pedal that might as well be an on/off switch with regards to speed. Reminds me of my first kid’s sewing machine I had in kindergarten. The Brother machine for the price has performed well enough but I doubt I would ever even attempt to run layers of denim or heavier weight wovens through it. I have an industrial cylinder machine for leather stitching and it shocks you just how much motor is needed to plow through multiple upholstery weight fabrics or leather. Problem with all industrial machines is you need a servo motor to run them requiring an under table mount and a big foot print in your studio. I plan on ordering your book, in my Amazon wish list. Thanks for sharing, sandy

[@rhonda478]

Your book is great. Glad I got it!

[@jcddcjjcdnz]

Just to add to what you have said. I didn't start having success on my CoverPro until I used Gutermann thread for the needles. Overlock thread is OK for the lopper but the needles are fussy about thread in my experience.

[@Thelaststitch]

That is super interesting to hear! Do you mean regular Guterman thread, not the overlock spools? I'm just about to start researching threads for my book, and from what I can tell they seem to make a larger difference on the end result than I had initially thought

[@racrx7]

So I ordered your book yesterday from Amazon. I cant wait to read it. I'm also looking into that Brother 3550. Great videos!

[@Thelaststitch]

Thank you so much for getting my book! And happy to hear you found my videos useful 😊

[@Maria-fh4oh]

I am learning about the cover stitch machine and considering getting one

[@gbuggy006]

Love that you're sharing so much tried & true knowledge with us newbies I just opened the box of my Janome 900cpx. As a videographer I hope you don't mind me mentioning that your white level on the videos is too high. It makes the footage too bright and hard to see any detail especially on a white machine or a light fabric. You can adjust it in your video editor, but best to do it in your camera settings if using one with those options. Oh, another easy way to reduce brightness is put a filter over your light, or move the lighting farther away. Best Regards to you, Mary

[@Thelaststitch]

I'm totally aware but I'm using a simple webcam and artificial light in the winter so it's incredibly hard to get the exposure and colour right. And using a regular cam is unfortunatly very tricky for live streaming unless I invest in a lot of extra gear. I've added a filter in my streaming software and am still tweaking bits, but in the summer my streams get better 👍

[@Thelaststitch]

Oh I realised that you might also refer to my older regular videos, yes that was also an issue, but I hope and think that the videos made in 2019 and onwards that this issue is less prominent, but it still happens from time to time, because video is hard, especially when trying to crunch it in my spare time and doesn't always have the time to ace the settings 😊 . But I'm always eager to improve so thank you for your suggestions

[@kyledburkhardt6419]

Ok the thing about belt loops being coverstitched blew my mind!!! Never heard of that before

[@Thelaststitch]

Yes! I think there is so much focus on knits when we talk about coverstitching, but indeed they can used for other cool stuff too. I make most of belt loops with the coverstitch, very easy to just press and stitch

[@kyledburkhardt6419]

Last Stitch I immediately looked at the RTW jeans I was wearing and yup they were coverstitched!

[@rhonda478]

Hello from Garland Texas. I have a L200 Bernina coverstitch machine. Love your book on coverstitch machine. When hemming a light weight rayon/lyca knit t-shirt I am having some tunneling. Should I use a light weight fusible cut on bias to stabilize the fabric. Or is it operator error? My machine is 3 needle. I am using left and right needle. Should I use more narrow?

[@juliabrown4072]

I'm learning about Cover Stitch machines

[@mjdzfun]

Hi Johanna~I just pre-ordered your book. I have the Babylock Evolution serger/coverstitch combo but have *never* used the coverstitch function, even tho I’ve owned it for 10 years or so. (Sad!) Mostly because a) I don’t know what I’m doing re: coverstitching and b) it’s a lot of work changing the machine over. I’m hoping that if I can conquer a), b) will become easier, so really, really looking forward to your book. Would love to see some follow on videos! Thanks! P.S. Oh. I see you “cover” the combo machines!!! Yep. Changing the machine over from serger to coverstitch is enough of a pain that will prevent one from using the machine to its full potential.

[@Thelaststitch]

Hi! Thank you for pre-ordering my book! And I feel you on having to change the machine, it's can totally feel like a hindrance, even though the BabyLock machines are generally easier to switch than most other combo machine brands. And the methods shown in the book applies to any type of coverstitch machine, every tutorial has clearly illustrated step-by-step photos, so to make things easier. A coverstitch is a fantastic addition and hopefully, my book will inspire you to explore all the cool things you can do with it!

[@barbarathulin8263]

I love the twin needle for recreating pintucks on delicate woven fabrics like linen or cottons.

[@felitang2207]

I Love learning from you. I bought janome 2000cpx coverstitch machine for Jersey, Knit T-shirt fabric. Please tell me what kind of Needle I should buy. Fely from USA.

[@lindseyr4966]

. . . , It’s 2021 , and I have ordered a JUKI MCS-1500N from Echidna Sewing Co in Queensland. Expecting delivery here in Adelaide this week !!!!! . . . , Yeeee Haaa !

[@jackiecaton1087]

I have a Brother 2340 Cover Stitch. It has some good points but some not. Only problem is the ending. It had 3 thread capability. Also uses 2 thread as well as a single chain stitch. I would love to have one that finishes the end. Threading is simple and easy. I much prefer the cover stitch over the 2 needle hem.

[@teslaandhumanity7383]

Hi Johanna Amazon is delivering your 📖 book today .... buying a cover stitch machine June 1st , after following you . I’m getting a Brother CV3550. Have you had time to engage with yet ?

[@Thelaststitch]

Thank you so much for getting my book! I used the CV for a few weeks before I returned it, to the person I've borrowed it from. I'm still on the fence if I should buy it for myself, since I do crave the top cover, but I kinda hope they would do some improvements

[@benbencom]

To set tension on the industrial machine they use a little device that you hook the thread to and measure tension directly.

[@susanwrightdavis9855]

I have the Brother CV3550. So far it and I don't like each other. I'm watching videos to help me make friends with it.

[@louisefox7290]

Hi Johanna I'm following you from North Wales. I have been considering a coverstich machine but as I now only sew for myself not sure just how much use I would give it? Your comments are very informative thank you.

[@notimetowork]

Great video and I'm going to buy your book. Can I ask please which binding attachment to use to sew your neckband? There seems to be several different sizes?

[@Thelaststitch]

Hi! The one I used on the top was a 42 mm 4 -fold binder from Janome

[@notimetowork]

@@Thelaststitch Thank you! Is that the cut size or the finish size please?

[@joli43]

I have a combo babylock machine (evolution) Selling it as I don't need it anymore - but a wonderful! machine. (USA) Great at both coverstitch and serging.

[@AnnIgland-b9x]

Serger it`s the same as a overlock(Norway) I have Brother overlock and consider buy Brother Coverstitch 3440

[@4dipako337]

Hi and thank you for taking the time to make videos. I purchased a Bernette Funlock 48. Sadly I haven't been able to use it because sadly I cannot thread it. I have been making face masks to donate and this Funlock B48 "would really-really" make things easier but I'm stuck, can you help?

[@heatherr9201]

I don’t have a coverstitch, think about it, but unsure, think I would get it before a serger... as I feel it’s more useful, especially on finishing knits.

[@Thelaststitch]

I would agree, especially if you are happy with the result when sewing knit side seams your sewing machine. It's only on the inside after all, whereas the coverstitch finish really elevates the end result. That said I do love my serger for wovens too, makes overcasting the edges so much faster.

[@LAwigTalk]

Get both! Serger makes sewing go sew much faster. I never realized how much this makes sewing more fun!

[@dinapassman6442]

Recently got a Janome 2000 CPX. Have only used it a bit.

[@Thelaststitch]

Are you liking it? I know that some people end up using the CS less than they have planned, so I'm curious to hear more about that!

[@dinapassman6442]

I do like it, but it scares me :-) Learning about some settings from Facebook has def been helpful. I will try to use it more for summer knits. Somehow I've been stuck on wovens for the last bit.

[@francineboily9541]

I have a combo overlock/coverstitch BabyLock Evolvé, I've had my machine for almost 20 years and I am just now starting to use the coverstitch function with knits. I'm still working out my settings and having some issues with skipped stitches.

[@Thelaststitch]

From personal experience and those who I have spoken to in the sewing machine the biz, the first batch of serger/coverstitch combo machines had more issues with skipped stitches and such, I wonder if that could be the case with your BabyLock too?

[@krystleroy3068]

I’m praying because I just got a evolution and it worked great on knits not skips stitches but my juki is so hard to figure out i was also using to different needles lol so I know it’s mostly user erro I prob going to sell it idk if I want to and it’s very big learning cure ! On the juki and I don’t know if I should keep or sell ! Because I got a combo

[@KcMart]

Hi. I have just purchased your book as I am planning to buy a coverstitch machine and I am find it is very informative and really helpfu. I am Leaning towards the Juki 1800 as the machine I want to buy. What do you think of this machine ?

[@faithfielder9493]

Own a Janome coverstitch machine, but haven't used it yet.

[@Thelaststitch]

Hope I have inspired to give it a whirl!

[@louannahendricks1598]

Thank you for all of this information!

[@bettysmedley5831]

hi from Australia, can you sew fold over elastic with the coverstitch

[@Thelaststitch]

Yes you can, and I show a tutorial for it in my book Master the Coverstitch Machine 👍

[@SewTexas]

I do not own a coverstitch machine. Not sure I need one because not sure "exactly" what they do? I've owned Featherweights, older Singer, Pfaff, 2 Berninas, Janome 9000 (New Home) embroidery, Elna Lotus, Juki industrial straight stitch, Bernina and White Sergers. I do not have any serious complaints about any of these machines, nor can I say one machine is better over others. They all have their strong points. I've seen the combo coverstitch/serger combo but I understand you must make adjustments every time you change from one function to another. Money is not a real concern, just need to know if coverstitch is useful??

[@grammielovestosew7797]

Question Please...I have Janome Cpver Pro 2000XP Just purchased double binder from Ali EXpress.... unfortunately I cannot get attachment close enough to the holes to attach unless it covers up the foot itself. Can you recommend what is missing with my foot.? I think it needs the plate that attaches to machine then attachment is attached to the base plate. What about do I need a different type of foot to work with the binding attachement.? Now that I purchased foot already. JuditZ

[@barbarathulin8263]

me too! I put that 5th out of commission in 2005 as I found sewing a straight stitch on my walking foot Nakjima 280ly or Juki DDL-8700 gave me a better straight stitch.

[@barbarathulin8263]

I have the commercial Juki 5 thread MO-6700

[@cathykieser53]

Your information is quite helpful. I don't have a coverstitcher yet and hope to get one soon. Still don't know which one to get. Have you used the brother one much more? What would you recommend? Also what was the name of the Facebook groups? Thanks again

[@mitchiemishaan733]

I’m thinking about getting a coverstitch machine. Could you review the Brother coverstitch and compare it to the Janome?

[@Thelaststitch]

I will If I'm able to give it enough time since I'm only borrowing it, I've found that I need to use my machines quite a lot before all the quirks start to show!

[@Lorenzo-hu7fh]

Do you think the cover stitch machine will sew easily bulky knits like for a sweater or a fluffy night gown?

[@kathyisaako4942]

I am looking to buy a Janome coverstitch.

[@Springermom2]

This was helpful and so interesting! Ty

[@pablocohen]

I’m a beginner to intermediate and have the opportunity to buy a jenome 2000cpx or the Brother you have behind you for a discount. I’m concerned that the Brother CV3550 might be better or worse or same quality as the Jenome 2000?!

[@krystleroy3068]

I will only go for baby lock or any cover stitch machine that chains off ❤

[@pz7653]

How do you oil the Coverstitch machine? There are no instructions with the Janome instruction book.

[@Thelaststitch]

The Janome is self-lubricating, so it's not recommended that we oil our machines at home. I would personally let a trained mechanic do this for me, but there is a tutorial on a blog that you can search were someone successfully oiled her Janome at home.

[@krystleroy3068]

I have so many machines I need to make a KZbin channel I got the juki 1500 and it’s so touchy and I just got a baby lock evolution and the cover stitch is so much easier no more thread coming out of the needle and it chains off and much more user friendly I don’t want to sell it because I really want it to work out for me but the Babylock is so much more easier to use

[@SipLeila]

Just bought my Janome Cover Stitch 2000 CPX and want ideas on how to use.

[@Thelaststitch]

I have a book called Master the Coverstitch Machine with lots of tutorials coming out March 19 (you can find it on Amazon and as an ebook on my site thelaststitch.com)

[@SipLeila]

I have used it for hemming and find it so easy to use! But I didn't worry about matching the two ends of the hem. I'm learning how to do that. Thanks, for making your book and video!

[@connorsilvertree258]

What was the name of the stitch you showed (on blue fabric) that can only be produced by a combination machine?

[@estheropperman2917]

[@ebbram9879]

Hi, I have the Brother Cv3550, only problem on some of them - including mine is the wheel is off-set so i need to line it up about 1 inch off line for it to release, Brother were no help when i got in touch. Elaine

[@Thelaststitch]

That is great to know. I suspect that since this is a new model, there could be some issues with the first iterations before they have sorted it all out.

[@sandradawson5189]

I have the janome coverpro 2000. When I first got it it worked brilliantly, I have used it just a few times and now I keep getting skipped stitches. It is driving me mad! I have tried and tried to get it running properly but it does not want to play ball. I have become very disappointed 😢

[@Thelaststitch]

What a bummer! Have you taken it back to the vendor and asked for a check-up? One known issue with some of the Janomes are that the feed dogs are not raised properly for sewing knits. A mechanic told me that some Janome machines have the Japanese configuration for lighter fabrics which can cause problems when certain sewing knit fabrics. Though he did say it was bigger problem with the 1000 than the 2000.

[@sandradawson5189]

Last Stitch No I did not get in touch with the supplier. I think I will get in touch with Janome but first I will give it another go over with re threading etc. 🙏🏻

[@jhoa9990]

hi there, i bought a brother coverstitch machine in one of the people using online selling, it was incomplete accessories esp. the presser foot. i need dual function fold binder and bias tape binding set, how can i get to buy this items and how much. thank you...

[@barbarathulin8263]

I have burned out motors on the domestic machines. I found the serger style home machines need to rest often. Doing heavy sewing for hours kills the motor. It will start smelling aweful and then make this weird slowing down sound and croak.

[@theresavandeventer469]

Hello from South Africa, I have a brother coverstitch machine and hate it. I never went to class and try to figure it out by myself. The video that accompanied the machine say that i must never turn the wheel backwards to end my stitching and now i cannot get it right to pull the stitches backward, if you understand what i mean. The stitches also look scew. Thanks I am learning looking at your video

[@india239]

For my Bernina I have to put the wheel forward into the fabric and then pull the needles up by turning the hand wheel the other direction ( first anti-clockwise and then clockwise). This releases the tension and can be removed at the back

[@karenwood404]

Hello Johanna. I have admired your wealth of knowledge when it comes to coverstitching for quite some time. I have a question that may have a simple answer: In the manual for my Brother 2340 coverstitch machine, it indicates to that the pressure knob for your presser foot should be lowered for thicker fabrics and should be raised for thinner fabrics. This seems counterintuitive to everything I was taught while using a regular sewing machine. Can you share when you raise your pressure knob for your presser foot and when you lower your pressure when using your coverstitch machine? I think my manual may be wrong. Your answer would be greatly appreciated as this has been bothering me for quite some time.

[@Thelaststitch]

A lowered pressure knob means higher pressure, which is what you'll need when sewing over thicker fabrics and layers. So the manual is correct, and it will make a huge difference when sewing over binding and other bulky things!

[@barbarathulin8263]

I want that one but don't have the space for another table.

[@karabeust1221]

Could you please address using wooly nylon...my machines “seam” to really hate that thread. It has to be operator error!

[@Thelaststitch]

Great suggestion! I will address that thread extensively in my book and might also do a blog post about it in the future!
