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.
@@jeanetteweger5518 Thank you, for your quick reply! Is there "starting" settings I can start with and then adjust if/as needed? I'm scared to even open the box, I've had it for 2 months 😞
@@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.
Your instructional techniques rule!
@@j.a.maldonado4681 thank you
Yes, I did oiled it and loosened the belt a bit. Still it doesn’t work. Uhh.
@@salabova have you considered buying a new belt? You can get them thru Ken’s Sewing.
Yes. It seems like the motor is not spinning hard enough to turn the wheel. If I take the belt off, then the motor spins.
@@salabova did you oil/lubricate the belt area? Is the belt too tight?
Good afternoon, I got my sewing machine from my sister. She barely used it and it was in her closet for over 10 years. So I took it apart, oiled it and then turned it on. But it just wasn’t moving the needle. The engine runs. I opened it up again and checked the belt. Not sure what to do. It just seems like the engine is not strong enough to pull the wheel. Any suggestions? Thank you.
Is the belt in place?
Thank you, Jeanette.
@@lindaborza6629 glad the video helps
Again Jeanette step by step undoing serger stitches in a short amount of time. So easy and methodical--almost relaxing. Thanks again for all of your great videos.
@@sadacpa you’re welcome, glad the video helps.
Do your stitches hold secure on that edge of the binding? I'd been securing my tails in the seam allowance to hold it all together.
Yes, I have never had one come undone and I made several hundred items using this technique.
If you turn the garment inside out you need a bit less adjusting and less chance of catching the other side under the needles 😊
It’s not close enough, I am sorry
Please explain, what is not close enough
Closer so can see more around the needle area. Found another video where I could. Thanks anyway for the video
Okay. Maybe you’re not aware, but you can zoom in on the video.
Didn’t know you could! Thanks
@@veronicab3119 I didn’t either, we learn something everyday.
I was ready to toss this machine in the trash and then I found this video. Works like a charm. Thank you soooooo much for sharing. 😃
So glad you didn’t toss it. Be sure to watch my other videos, just type in my name and they should come up.
Hi, are you planning to make any more videos on this coverstitch machine. Sadly I have bought this one 5 years ago but it keeps on staying in the box cos every time I take it out of the box get frustrated. Thank you so much for this video.
Unfortunately I will not be making anymore videos on this machine as it worked only the 1 day I made the video. It has turned into an expensive door stop. It’s a shame that Consew doesn’t even put out videos.
@@jeanetteweger5518 Oh this is a shame. I thought I’d be able to finally make a use out of it. Thank you so much for your reply.
Yours is the best video yet on this--you took care to get very close to the stitching. I tried it within minutes of watching this and got it right away! Thank you!
Thank you and I’m glad the video helped!!
Gracias por compartir, excelente información.
Great video. Can you use three needles and put one stitch line in the neck band itself ?
I didn’t try it that way but I don’t see why you can’t.
Thanks nice tutorial. Just bought it. Do you take de first en thirt needle?
Yes I use the wide needle, no needle in the middle.
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.
Thanks for this Jeanette - i have the babylock BLC2 - bought a generic 10mm binder it starts off fine but then does'nt fold and goes flat - very anoying when half way round
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.
This is so smart. I was 80% there... but would trim threads one step too early!!! Thank you for posting.
Glad the video helped.
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.
Glad this video helps. With regards to your feed dog issue, it may seem like they go up and down but as long as the fabric feeds thru, the feed dogs are fine. They do move forward to help feed the fabric thru, it just may not be so noticeable.
Hey Jeanette! Thank you so much for your videos! I have learned so much! I have the same coverstitch machine and have an issue that I have been trying to figure out for a week! I am coverstitching stretch knit binding on knit jersey, and every time i try, the fabric gets bogged and stuck in the machine where the looper threads get all bunched up and it won't push the fabric through. Any tips on how to solve this issue?
Private message me thru my FB and I’ll help you thru it.
omgggggggggggggggggggggggggggg this video its PURE GOLD!!! Thx so so so so so so so so soooooo much
Glad it helps. Be sure to watch the others they should help you thru as well
Thank you so much Jeanette for this clip, saved me another day of torture! on my very new Cover stitch machine. :)
So glad the video helped. You can always private me thru FB with any issues.
@@jeanetteweger5518 Thankyou.
Saludos desde Venezuela, dónde puedo conseguir ese accesorio por favor
You need to go thru a dealer, we’re here go thru Ken’s Sewing. Hope you can find what attachments you’re looking for.
What does hammering mean?
Some actually use a hammer on thick seams to flatten them.
Jeannette, you are the greatest. I have learned so much from you videos. Thanks.
I’m so glad they are helping you. If you have issues please feel free to private message me and I’ll help you thru.
Thank you for a wonderful video
Hope it helps.
Thank you!
You’re welcome.
Great video thanks. Will this work with stretch denim like skinny jeans? Thanks again.
It should but again, don’t use jean thread, it’s too thick.
Thank you so much for this!
Glad this video helps.
I am pretty new to cover stitch machine and I am trying to stitching on anti peel fleece with a very thin knit on bottom and I have worked for a hour or more and it just keeps tunneling on the bottom. Please help! What am I doing wrong??😢
Message me thru my FB and I’ll help you.
I am still struggling, I feel like I'm doing this blindly and I still have extra fabric showing and I am so mad. I am trying so hard to get this right and it is so frustrating. I don't want my products to look terrible. I absolutely have to get this right, my business depends on this. I have way too much money invested in this to fail.
I really enjoy your videos. Are you making any more soon i hope?
I have several videos on this machine that I think I’ve covered everything. Is there a particular issue you need addressed?
@@jeanetteweger5518 no not a one. I've seen them all. I just wondered about you. Happy new year 🎊
@@DiannaAtherton Happy New Year to you as well!
Hello! My fabric kept twisting and not look nice. Im using ribbed knit
The tension advice almost got me there - but you didn’t say which way to be one dot past the 1 - and I was wondering about the pressure foot as well 😊
Thank you 😊
Hope the video helped.
I serged something with a safety stitch that I needed to reverse this helped me so much. Thank you.
And the bonus is now I have a couple yards of thread, instead of a bunch of cut up pieces
So glad this video helped!!
Thankyou
Thanks you so much
Glad the video helps.
What size do you cut your binding?
1 1/4”, but it depends on what size your binder is. There should be 2 numbers stamped on the binder. The bigger number is what you cut the strip at, the smaller number is the finished after folded.
Thank you so much, watching you, I purchased the same one, and thank you so much, what's the setting on the machine??@@jeanetteweger5518
I ask because, my fabric always goes side to side like it's not tight enough, and it's driving g me crazy... I have several different ones, but haven't tried them yet, because this one is for the brother coverstitch 2340cv. And I want it to work like yours... I am using four way stretch fabric... thank you so much....
@@tafaria128 it depends on the fabric what the setting will be, that’s why I always say to do sample runs with the fabric you are making the garment with. It eliminates problems on the actual garment.
Thank you so much for sharing with us.
Thank you só much for sharing this vídeo. You explained exactly what I wanted to know!
I’m glad the video helps.
12:37pm - Jeanette I contacted you the other day about Ty he foot for the binder for the brother 2340 coverstitch machine. You said you could give me the contact info for the man that makes the foot. I would definitely appreciate if you could share that with me. Again, I really appreciate the excellent fb videos. I sewed a lot when I was a young mother but had to give it up to work in order to support my kiddos. I recently retired at the age of 71 have found that there are so many changes with machines and fabrics and sewing techniques. I probably would know where start if it weren’t for your and other’s videos.
Here is his email Johny@awrcustom.com
I would like to have his contact information. Thank you so much. And thank you for your videos.
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?
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.
@@jeanetteweger5518 hello, do I need the foot to use this generic binder ? Or could I use the one that comes with the machine? Also could I have the link to the Etsy shop please
Thank You so much. I just received the machine a few days ago and was having so much trouble getting the fabric out or released. You have the best video. I was ready to send this machine back and get a Juki!
Glad the video helps. Be sure to watch the others because so many felt the same and really, 99% of the time it’s operator error. Just remember the machine does what you tell it. Any issues you can always PM me thru FB.
Thank you, I've been asked to alter sleeves on t. shirts. Your video is very helpful.
Glad it helps.
How do you get such a long length of looper thread on the underside? When I clip the public side stitches, I have a heck of a time finding the looper thread on the underside, regardless of the color of thread/fabric. I'm sure it's user error but I can't figure this out.
Beautiful!
