The narrow cover stitch consists of two rows of straight stitching on the top side of the fabric with an
overlock stitch on the underside of the fabric. This stitch is very common in the garment industry to
hem knit garments. The narrow cover stitch is used on fine knits such as jersey and single knits for
hemming or topstitching. The cover stitch is not limited to knit fabrics. It also works well with woven
fabrics.
The Left Narrow cover stitch is formed using two "C" needle positions and the chain looper. The needle
positions are C-1 and C-2. The width of the narrow cover stitch is 3mm.
For Cover Stitch:
1. Place the machine in threading position to thread the chain looper (see page 16).
2. Follow the diagram to thread the chain looper. Open the side cover of the machine to make sure
the thread is through the eye of the chain looper. Trim the thread to 4 inches (10cm) and lay in tray.
3. Follow the diagram on pages 18-19 to thread the chain/cover stitch needles positions C-1 and C-2.
Place needle threads on top and to the left of presser foot before sewing.
4. Move the threading lever to serging position.
5. Set stitch length and other machine adjustments (see chart below).
6. Place the fabric under the needles and turn handwheel toward you two or three stitches into the
fabric. Cut the excess threads and start sewing.
Note:
All chain and cover stitches must be started with fabric under the needle(s).
