Hi, great video! Thank you!! So, if not stitching in the round, and you're stitching seams, are they secure at the ends already? I get so confused by this. I love my coverstitch and would use it for everything, I'm just not sure if the stitches are gonna stay or do I have to do something specific? I can chain off, but can I then cut my chain close to the fabric so it isn't hanging there? Thanks!!
Does this work for any brand of machine? If it does, that is seriously easier than what my Pfaff's manual suggests doing to end coverstitch in the round. I want to go try it right now!!
My first attempt did not work. When I tried to gently pull the fabric towards myself to do the two stitches, the threads were too tight and would not move. It stayed stuck even though I had the needles up and the foot up. I tried pulling a little bit of thread through and sewed a few stitches anyway. I wound up with a pile of thread, stuck in the looper area, and it just pulled my fabric terribly, and now I have to pull out the entire thing and start the hem over again. I will stick to my more laborious but reliable, method. I am wondering if this option is specific to certain machines or if there is some setting I don’t know about that needs to be employed before this can actually work.
Quick question for you. I have a lot of existing clothes that I want to hem (sleeves & pants) with a cover stitch and they are all different colors. I don't want to invest in so many different cones of the same color thread, especially on such small simple projects. Is there any way that I can use something like a bobbin to create a small second spool of thread to be used on the 2nd needle? I don't care about the wrong side of the fabric, since the thread color doesn't show. It's only on the right side of the fabric with the 2 needles. Thanks!
In stopping then moving the fabric toward you then doing two stitches, essentially you are sewing two stitches on top of the last two stitches, the same thing as backstitching would do. Then when you pull the top threads with the pin and move the fabric sideways, then you clip that and pull those threads to the back when you pull on the bottom loop of threads. You could just clip them like she shows, or maybe I would just tie those two threads in a little knot before cutting them.
You have to tie a knot in the thread or your chain will come unraveled. And what is sewing "in the round"? I've been sewing for a long time and have never heard that in my life. I'm honestly sorry that I wasted 2 min watching this. You think you're helping people but you're not.
Best demo yet.
I have this machine. Following your steps, I completed the best join I’ve ever attempted! Thank you.
Awesome demo! Great pace, clear and concise instructions. Great focused and clear close up shots.
Thank you for posting this. I needed this refresher after not using my machine for a while 😊
Thank you! Your pacing in this demo is perfect - easy to follow, easy to view!
Easy to understand. Thank you. Love the ta da ❤
Perfect video. Short and to the point.
Excellent video! Excellent podcast, Sewing Out Loud.
Bless you!! I was having such a hard time starting and stopping in the round. This is a huge help.
Life saver! Thanks so much! Very clear and easy to follow and good pace. Much appreciated!!
Thank you. Saved video as my recall is very short with details these days.
Thank you. Plain and simple right to the point. This is a great help. Wonderful video
So there is no need to "finish" the threads? (As you would need to on a serger)
Just clip and done? That makes it so easy
Thank you!!!! This is a life saver and so clear !
Thank you for this tip! Just getting started and this seems simple enough.
Wow this is such a simple solution - thank you!!
I love how short to the point thank you so much the best technique ever❤️😍🥰
Great video Zede!
Yes, great video! I can't wait to get my kids to bed and sneak downstairs to hem sleeves 😀
Perfectly explained. Thank you.
Thank you! This technique works the best yet for me.
Thank you, this is awesome!
Not the way I do it but I tried this technique and it does work well.

Thank you so much! Can you show us how to finish a hem of a cardigan that isn’t in the round as a coverstitch does not allow backstitching
Awesome! Thank you!

That is crazy! It worked!!! Thank you!!
Thank you! This worked like a charm!

Yes, you can do that. Put some thread in a Bobbin. That’s what I do.
Wow. So neat.
How did you cut the bottom thread?
Like a backstitch. I love it
Great tutorial thanks!
My thread keeps snagging in the bottom
😄 Try stop needles in lowest position, then rise by hand but turn handwheel away from you 😉
Excuse me but the under thread chain stay insecure? If you just cut no?

👍
Like it but can you remove thread like I do on my juki? ua-cam.com/video/A0-Qe12SKKk/v-deo.html seems faster
that is definitely a better way
Yes, your method is the one I see more commonly on UA-cam videos and it seems easier!
