The wide cover stitch consists of two rows of straight stitching on 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 heavier
knit fabrics such as double knits, sweatshirt fleece, and polar fleece. The wide cover stitch is not limited
to knit fabrics. 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 positions are C-1 and C-3. The width of the wide cover stitch is 6mm.
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 C-1 and C-3. 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 in the
fabric. Cut the excess threads and start sewing.
Note:
All chain and cover stitches must be started with fabric under the needle(s).
