The wide cover stitch consists of two rows of straight stitching on top the fabric with an overlock stitch on
the underside of the fabric. This stitch is very common in the garment industry to hem heavier knit fabrics
such as double knits, sweatshirt fleece, and polar fleece. The wide cover stitch is not limited to knit fab
rics. It also works well with medium to heavy woven fabrics.
The wide cover stitch is formed using two "C" needle positions and the chain looper. The needle posi
tions are C1 and C3. The width of the wide cover stitch is 6mm.
