    Totally new to coverstitch. I've been using a serger for many years though. My question, What are your settings for Hems? Do they differ for woven's and knits? Thank you so much!

      @@remithreadz1560 you’re going to love using a coverstitch, it makes everything look so professional. The settings may vary depending on the fabric. Just make it a habit to do a sample stitch out using the fabric you’re using for the garment with. If adjustments are needed, don’t adjust everything, sometimes it only takes maybe adjusting the differential or just the looper. Some go crazy and start adjusting every dial on the machine.

      @@remithreadz1560 ​​⁠​​⁠start with the factory settings of all on 4 on the needles and looper. Change the stitch length to 4 and leave the differential at the factory setting as well. Definitely adjust your presser foot (on to of the machine) so that the top of the silver screw is 1/2” of the top of the machine. Once there leave it, that’s the sweet spot. Also get different needles, I buy mine on eBay, you want Organ brand 90/14 SUK BP, these seem to work the best. If you’re going to sew fleece, spandex, linen, French terry, buy some 80/12 sharp needles.

      I actually don’t have this attachment anymore because I don’t like the thickness of the binding. I sold this attachment and bought a generic on eBay called top clean bottom raw. It’s half the thickness and you do have to tape it to the machine but the results are so much better, besides the attachment being so much cheaper as well. With a top clean bottom raw, basically the top is being folded while the underside is flat and the raw edge underneath is covered by the stitches of the machine.

      I’m glad the video helps. It does take a bit of practice and I don’t know if your particular machine has a designated binding foot but check to see because the Brother does only if you buy the binding attachment. It helps tremendously because on the side of the foot is a flat guide to help keep the fabric from straying.

    I'm so delighted to see this! I just oiled mine yesterday, and it is already running more smoothly than it ever did. (I suspect it sat for a while before being shipped to me a few years ago.... and it has always been a bit "balky" right before it lowers the needle into the fabric.) I'm noticing that the feed dogs are now just moving up and down and not forward... any idea where I need to oil or adjust to get that resolved? I'm assuming something is just sticky with old oil.

    I am a bit confused. You said you bought a generic binder 1/2” from eBay but you also said the binder needs a foot that you contacted Brother for an extra foot but wasn’t able to buy it since they sell only with the binder itself. Did the one you bought on eBay come with a foot? If not how and where did you get the foot?

    • @jeanetteweger5518
      @jeanetteweger5518 10 місяців тому

      A foot comes with the brother binder, it is a good thing to have. Brother will not and does not sell the foot separately. You have to buy the entire binder again to get a replacement foot and from what I understand, the binder is not over $100.00 so that’s an expensive foot. With knowing that, I found someone local to 3D print a binding foot that I use with the generic binder as it has a shield on the right side of the foot to keep the fabric from straying to the right while sewing. If you would like a foot, I can give you his information. He sells them on Etsy for $10.
