11. HOWTO SEW A COVER STITCH
This machine can produce a 3-thread 5.6 mm wide
bottom cover stitch.
The cover stitch can be used for covering, binding
or top-stitching necklines and for hemming the
bottom, of T-shirts and sweatsuits, etc. in addition
to flat joining seams (plain seaming).
The cover stitch is most suitable for stretchy
fabrics such as knit.
It also can be used In woven fabrics such as
denim, but careful attention must be paid to the
tension settings or there is the possibility of thread
breakage and or skipping.
If you experience skipping or thread breakage
sewing denim change needles first and then adjust
the tensions little by little (1/4 number at a time).
