i came across your video by accident. watched it anyways. one of the best how to i’ve seen. i usually lay flat on those tiny sleeves but ill be practicing in the round. thank you.
I just got my brother 2340 coverstitch machine. I started playing with it and realized I was gonna need some practice before I could really use it on a garment. So I started googling tips and tricks. I was so excited when I found your videos. They are seriously so helpful! Thank you so much for posting them. I’m already so much more comfortable on my machine. Also your video for how to remove fabric from the machine was a life changing. Thanks again!
Heidi Camille May Glad they are helpful!! I'm always posting new ones so if you haven't already, subscribe to me video and you get notice when a new one gets posted.
Thank you so much for your wonderful tutorials. I have had this machine for almost 2 years - sitting on counter. I hope to start using after watching your videos.
Margaret Johnson oh please, do start using it, you will be so happy that you did because it finishes off your garment so beautifully!!! You will be amazed!!!!
Thank you for another helpful video. I like the in the round. Very professional. I love to sew and have people ask me all the time to make children’s outfits but I never know what to charge. I know it’s better made that what’s out in the stores. I’ve mostly sewn for family and gifts. Do u have a video on business tips and tricks? I’ve stopped alterations because people did not want to pay me. Alterations area lot of deconstruction and reconstruction. You appear to have it going good. How did you partner with your sellers?
Love your cover stitch videos! I have had my machine for almost two years and have been afraid to use it. I will definitely be using it in the future. I was wondering if it matters how you cut the threads when you are finishing your seam. I’m not sure exactly how you are cutting them Thank you!
When I release the needle threads I pull them out from under the foot to the side then snip, then release the looper tension as I pull the fabric out altogether
Congrats!!!! Actually I don’t useable double fold binder, I use what is called top clean bottom raw binder. It only fold the top and the bottom is one layer, not folded. I like it because it’s less bulky especially for baby clothes. I bought it on eBay. The size I bought is 31mm which has a finish of 7/16.
I have a hard time pulling the garment out of my coverstitch machine. Watching your video, you made it look so easy. I have a brother 2430 too, but my material always gets struck in the machine. Any tips on removing the finished work? Thanks
Jeanette Weger, I do release the tense when I pull the thread. But after that, I always have a hard time to pull the garment out even though I pull about 3" thread out.
Mia McDermott. you may need to pull more then 3". After you pull the needle threads and cut under the foot, you need to give a slight tug of the fabric while you push the looper tension button on top too. Have you watched all my videos? I think I covered the release in the quick tips videos.
Thank you, I'm glad they are of help. Just remember, the CV does not work like a serger, it does take time, patience and practice. If you're an avid sewer it should take you a couple of weeks to catch on. Also remember the settings are important and once you get things set, you won't change much from one project to the next. On your next leotard, try stretching less on the fabric and stretch the elastic. Use the 85% measure on elastic unless your patterns tells you the length, some don't.
Nice. I thought you still needed to tie the ends of the coverstitch threads. Can’t they pull out from the end? Just asking. I learned that way. Thanks.
When coverstitching in the round there is no need to tie any ends because you will be coverstitching over the beginning stitches. If you coverstitch straight there is no need to tie the end because you will be serging over the beginning coverstitches which will keep them from pulling out.
@@stephaniekeime5676 because I sew in quantity, I don't have time to sit and tie ends and I've never had my shops complain about any garment unraveling. I find ways of doing things properly and in a quick way.
Jeanette Weger In the last week or so, I made 17 dance costumes for a college team. Briefs with 3 coverstitched seams each. Mesh with overlayed tops with straps and chokers so another 9 coverstitched seams per top there. That’s 204 knots for no reason! Waaaahhhhh! 😩😩😩
I will be happy to do a video in a slower mode!! I'm in the middle of finishing up Christmas orders so as soon as Christmas is over with, I will be doing a couple of videos.
I just recently started using my coverstitch and for some reason after I serge the ends the coverstitch isn’t as stretchy anymore. Are the stitches too short?
I am fully aware that this is a coverstitch machine as the title indicates. When I reference "serge" in the video, I am letting you know that you can either coverstitch the hem prior to serging, i.e. a flat hemming or you can hem after you have serged, i.e in the round. Go back and listen!!!
Thank you, I've been asked to alter sleeves on t. shirts. Your video is very helpful.
Glad it helps.

Glad you found it and I hope it helps you to hem those sleeves in the round!
You're an excellent instructor! Thank you!

So helpful when you give your stitch adjustment numbers.

Gosh you are good. I don't think I could sew on something that small. Lol
I beg to differ, you can with practice, practice, practice and patience!!! LOL. It turns out better when you sew it in the round.
I ordered my cover stitch so I will be following your videos
That's great to hear! Just be patient and practice allot.
Jeanette Weger ok, I will, if I have questions will it be ok to send you a message?
Yes you are more than welcome to PM me anytime.
Jeanette Weger ok thank you, I will be watching the videos you make it look so easy
@@debbiebridges5121 it really is easy, if you don't fight learning it.

It’s Here!!! Thank you for the needle info. Needles and threads are in the cart What kind of double fold binding foot u do you recommend?

So helpful to watch Jeanette coverstitch the hem of a sleeve!

Mia McDermott. Are you pushing your tension buttons on top to the right? Your have to release the tension as you pull the thread at the needle.
Jeanette Weger, I do release the tense when I pull the thread. But after that, I always have a hard time to pull the garment out even though I pull about 3" thread out.

@@stephaniekeime5676 oh my, so sorry you went thru that.
Can I do this on the neckline?
I’m pretty sure you can.
@@jeanetteweger5518 Thanks
Please show in slower detail how you pull the threads and trim it off so there are no tails to worry with.

What is your stitch length set at? I recommend 4
You keep saying 'serge' but this is a coverstitch, not a serger.
