All instructional videos should be modelled after this one! Clear, efficient, and highly informative.
@thaisoneon - thanks so much for your positive comments about our CoverStitch video...mush appreciated.
I have this exact machine. I really love it. It does a beautiful job on super stretchy fabrics like swimwear & aerobic wear. Amazingly the seams are super stretchy with using regular polyester/cotton thread. It also has differential feed adjustments for any type of knit fabrics. So far has worked great on anything I have tried.
WOW 🤩! Your techniques & demonstrating is spot on👌! As many UA-cam videos I came across yours is absolutely the best. At a really good price ($599 no tax, free shipping) I purchased the Janome 2000CPX. Not a Janome fan but do love the 2000CPX. That said, your video was the only one on UA-cam explaining the proper settings for leaving the looper thread inside the machine after threading. And, your the only one explaining where to place the needle threads after threading. Can’t thank you enough for sharing your talents and keeping this video on UA-cam -Thank you. I subscribed 😎
@Lou Rao - I'm glad you found this information so beneficial. You also might enjoy other tutorials in our surefitdesigns UA-cam channel.
I cannot thank you enough for showing how to thread the looper!!! I've been struggling with tweezers and swear words!!! Thank you so much for all of this content.
Glad this was of benefit to you!
Your video is one of the best ever. I confess I bought this machine a year ago and I'm still fighting it - and I sew for a living so it is disappointing. I'd love to see a tutorial on gathering and elastic binding as you are a great instructor. I keep telling myself I will take time to learn properly, but I am "sew" busy I find that I just work around it. You've given me inspiration to get back to it.
sherry browne have you ever got the gathering & elastic binding figured out ?
I just got my Janome Pro 3000 and omg I love it
That's exciting! Have fun!!
I love how you explain where the top threads should be before you commence sewing AND where your looper thread should be after you thread and before you start sewing. Thank you.
Karin Furthamp - you are most welcome...I'm glad this information was beneficial for you.
You made ending the stitch look so easy! Much easier than the way I have been doing it. Thank-you.
Great video, this sewing lesson was very informative. I'm new to the coverstitch world. I just purchased a Janome.
Thank you so much for taking the mystery out of ‘coverstitching’. Really appreciate all your videos, they are invaluable.
Thank you so much for posting this video. I just bought the Janome 900 CPX and I was a little confused about threading the bottom looper and locking the stitches. You made it 100% clear.
thank you I have just bought a coverstitch machine and your video has helped me a lot.no doubt I will be watching others xxx
Now I get it! - how to end a stitch that is...
Thank you for your clear and precise instructions on how to do that!
The instruction book was very cryptic about that aspect and absolutely lacking...
Thanks a bunch!
Glenda, once again you really help people with information. I wish I had had this several years ago when I bought my Janome Cover Stitch machine. I have learned to use it the hard way (trial and error) but, I LOVE IT !!!!!!!!!!!!! Makes life much easier. Thanks again for your help and for returning my call regarding more room in the crotch of pants the other day. You are very much appreciated !!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just received a Janome 2000 cpx for Christmas from my awesome husband. (So very excited). I found and watched your video first and then proceeded to use my new machine. It worked like a charm and all the tips that you provided were the best. I read through the manual as well, but your video was much more informative. Thank you
Clear and informative! Thankyou.
Just bought the Janome 2000CPX so was greatly helped by your Helpful videos
Hi Glenda, Just used my Coverstitch Pro for the first time and with your excellent direction, everything went wonderful. Very pleased with the results. Thank you.
Excellent demonstration. Thank you.
So glad this was helpful to you. Thanks for commenting.
Excellent video. I own the Elna 444 which is basically the same machine and never completely learned to lock those end stitches. Bravo, I finally got it!
This has helped me sooooooooooo much. I was having troubles using it but after watching this Im much happier :) Thanks!
Thank goodness I found your videos!! I just unboxed this machine and it didn't sew quite like it was described.. And the manual is sorely lacking in detailed information regarding threading. So, I've rethreaded and am watching all your videos regarding this machine! Thank you for the precise details and great visuals!! I'll be joining the SFD community to see what else you have available for information! Thanks again!!
Hi Glenda 😉
I love your video as it is going slowly so a non english can keep up and follow along ... I keep coming back to watch so I can get
my coverpro started 😊 thank you so much 💗🌹🌷
Thank you, thank you! I bought my Janome Coverstitch 5 yrs. ago, and have never used it! Guess it's time to take the cover off and put it to work! Great and informative video.....as are all those you have shared with us!
Thank you for the wealth of information. I'm new to this a may take me awhile to figure it out but
Your video has opened my eyes!
thank you sooo much for your clear instructions of the Coverpro. I've owned one for years but hardly used it. Now will actually make room for it on my sewing table to use more often.
Terry, you are most welcome. I'm glad this information was beneficial for you.
WOW, WOW, WOW! I don't know how on earth you figured all of that out at the end of the stitching. I have two machines like that, and I never knew that. Even the lady that sold me the machine didn't know it. THANK YOU! I'm going to watch it again to see what you did with that lower looper thread.
Linda at Janome of Canada demonstrated this useful method of locking the ending stitches back in 2009 on the 1000 CP. When these machines were first introduced to the home sewing market, they came with a CD of techniques and demos on how to use all the optional accessories. I believe the content on that CD is now available on UA-cam - definitely worth watching!
Thank you for the very basic instruction to use my new machine. I'm ready to begin now. Your video helped me get past the instruction manual with the confidence that I now know what to do. Much appreciated.
Excellent video to help my hubby understand why I need this machine. Thank you
Loved your video very clear and precise. Just bought the Janome 2000 cpx coverstitch and had a little go. Lovely machine which I can see me using all the time.
Hi Julie, you'll love your new machine. I sewed for years without one, but I wouldn't want to be without it now.
Thanks for the tutorial. Best yet to illustrate how to use a overstitch machine.
Thank you! I'm just learning to sew and my husband got me this machine to round out my equipment! Learned so much from your video.
Lucky you! You will love it as I do mine!!
Thank you Glenda for a great video. You have inspired me to try the coverstitch!
This video is fantastic! I, too, felt better about having a separate cover stitch machine from my serger. I recently bought the Janome but did NOT love it until your video. Now that I know a better and more efficient way to end the stitches, I am using it constantly! I still need to tweak things here and there, like hand rolling the wheel to go through 4 thicker layers. But all in all, what a great addition to my sewing room.
You convinced me. Waiting on mine to arrive. So excited!! Thx for the great videos!
I have had the same machine for a few years and I found your video a lifesaver at the beginning. I even come back occasionally as a reminder if the basics. Not sue I have eve4 seen anyone explain a coverstich machine as clearly. BTW I have the seam guide and love it. I also have the clear foot and believe it should be included since it is indispensable. Thank you.
@Begonia L - thanks so much for watching and commenting. I'm glad to hear this information was so beneficial. Just used my coverstitch machine yesterday...love it!!
Thank you so much for your advice re- having a separate coverstitch machine. I’m thinking of getting one and wondered about the pros and cons and you have helped me decide, much appreciated 👍🥰
So glad to have been of help to you. Thank you for watching.
Thank you so much for this most informative video. I have just watched one by Janome and the hemming was actually never mentioned. All your tips have motivated me now and given me the confidence to make some accurate hems. Before this I was stumbling around as if blindfolded and wondered how to get the stitching actually on the hem - something that cannot be actually seen when sewing. Really grateful.
So glad this was of benefit to you. Thank you for watching.
thanks for that! i just bought this machine so this was very helpful
Thank you sooo much for your very clear and informational videos!
This video goes over the steps to use the Jenome 1000 CPX coverstitch machine. She did an amazing job of sharing tips on starting and stopping stitching, which seems to be a sticking point for reviewers on some machines on Amazon. I feel confident that following her directions would help many sewers avoid frustration with a coverstitch machine. Thanks again for producing such a useful video.
Watched this as part of researching buying one, and bought the Janome Cover Pro 2000cpx as a result. So helpful! I earmarked all 3 videos, and bought the clear view foot, thank you so much!
You are most welcome. I hope you enjoy your CoverStitch machine as much as I do.
awww you're so lovely. great video and very well explained. thanks lot. i'll receive my coverstitch machine in a few days. looking forward!
Thank you for this great tutorial. Your explanations are great and detailed, you made it easy to learn and showing little tricks or techniques that are so helpful. I do love that painters tape! Like that little "dental type tool to pull the threads. I have been thinking of buying a coverstitch machine, after watching this video, I feel that it would be nice to have one. I would use it a lot, because a serger can't give me that nice finish and using the twin needles on sewing machine is OK, but just not as nice.
Thank you very much. You ar very kind and an excellent teacher.
Excellent instructions on how to use the cover stitch machine. I recently purchased this machine from a friend. I had difficulty connecting the thread through the tension. I managed somehow and it stitched a good looking stitch. Thank you for your video...very helpful.
You are most welcome. I'm glad the information was of benefit.
Thanks, thanks and thanks again! I'm looking for help on how to use my coverstich. I will see more videos! Thanks, really!!!
Great tip with the painters tape! Thanks!
Excelente demostracion.
Thank you for your Coverstitch videos...am always learning something...did not know my Janome had the free arm capability...am so happy you shared that feature!
Julie Mott - you are most welcome. I'm glad the information was of benefit for you.
So good . Very helpful and informative . One of the best tutorials on a cover stitch machine I have seen . Had no idea they have been around for years . I am writing this in 2021 .
Mary Hull - thanks so much for your feedback. We all learn something new.
Best video so far. Thank you very much!
Thank Glenda. I always love watching your videos. I have learnt so much. Hope those coverstitch machines are not too pricey. Would love one.
You’re amazing. Thank you for sharing your tremendous skills.
thank you Bev...I'm so glad this video was of help to you.
This was so helpful and easy to understand!! Thank you
Thank you so much for this video,
very thorough, thank you
Thank you so much! The end stitch was my battle. Now I also know. Well explained.
You are most welcome. I know I struggled with the end stitch until I'd practiced this removal process a few time. It will get easier.
What a huge help! Thank you so much for this video.
great video, I have learned a lot. Now I need to practice. thank you
Omg I learned so much in this video!
Excellent demonstration with lots of great tips. I'm familiar with sergers, sewing machine and do own a Brother Coverstitch machine that I use rarely. Now, I'm inspired to do some cover stitching, especially trying out some decorative stitches, even though the would be limited on the Brother. Thanks, again.
You are most welcome...I'm glad the video was of inspiration for you.
Great advice for new owners so much better than the run through with the sales person.
Thank you so much! I am getting my Janome today and have been watching your video. It is so helpful and informative. Now I’m off to check out the Sure Fit website and see what else I can learn before my new machine gets here. :)
I'm glad to hear my information was of help to you. Have fun with your new machine.
thanks for this tip, I learned a lot
Your an excellent instructor, thank you for your valuable time in giving instructions.

Chanashree Damle - thank you for your feedback and lovely comments. I'm glad that this video was of such benefit for you.
Oh THANK YOU! I have been asking around in the sewing world about how the heck you don't end up with selvage to trim, when using a coverstitch machine. You provided that answer and sew sew much more :) Subscribed!

Gioconde from Costa Rica
Thank you!!!
I love her! So informative and right to the point.
This was a great video thank you.
Excellent video. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this video. I just purchased my cover stitch machine and my seams were all coming apart because I did not know how to lock them and couldn't find out how anywhere. I was considering taking it back because I was so frustrated. You are a great instructor.
You are most welcome...and thanks so much for your lovely comments. It took me a while to get used to the locking process but now it comes more naturally. Like anything, the more you know and do something the easier it becomes.
Thanks
Démo parfaite :)
Merci!
I love your videos, so clear and helpful!

Myron Mitchell - thanks so much for your positive comments. I hope you enjoy fitting and sewing with Sure-Fit Designs.
I've had this machine for a couple of years and use it regularly but still learned a couple of new things from your video. Thanks so much for posting! One thing, where did you get the little hook? Is it really a dental hook? I need one.
I love your videos. Blessings
CL C - thanks for your comments and feedback. I'm glad to hear our videos are beneficial for you and your sewing.
Thank You! Now I understand
Kati Barker - You are most welcome. Thanks for the comment. I'm glad this information was beneficial for you.
Thank you so much for taking the time to show how to thread the machine -
I haven't order this machine as of yet -- I do have a serger I haven't used yet - can't see to thread it -- with my eye sight - the 1000 cpx might be a good fit for me
Nice informative video. How to use the provided threader on janome cover pro 900 cpx. I’ve seen one demo but not clear her hand covers of putting threader on the needle
Fab thanks🤗
Such clear instruction. Thank you. I hope you have survived the restrictions of Covid.
Jennet Sutton - Thanks so much for your feedback - glad to hear this information was so helpful.
Excellent, professional video! Thank you for all the tips. Subscribed and 'liked'!
You are most welcome...and thank you for your feedback.
Great instruction !!!
Thank you, I'm glad to hear this information was of benefit for you.
Very informative! I was looking at a Brother cover stitch; however, u made some good points about the Janome having more surface to work with. Might have to reconsider my future purchase. Thanks so much. New subbie.
Yes, do diligent research before purchasing your CoverStitch machine...I love mine...but some of them will definitely provide different features.
This is a really good video
Jo Mercer - my coverstitch machine has a removable bed around the throat plate and I can put cuffs around if they have a big enough circumference opening.
Jo Mercer - Yes, my machine has the removable bed too. It really helps if the circumference is big enough to sit around the bed of the machine.
