Cover/chain stitch functions
Cover stitch
The 5 mm wide cover stitch is formed with two or three needle
threads and one looper thread. The needle threads appear as two
or three parallel lines on the right side. The 2.5 mm cover stitch is
sewn with one looper thread and two needle threads. The looper
L
thread covers and neatens the seam on wrong side. The elasticity
C
of cover stitch makes it ideal for all stretch fabrics. The cover stitch
R
is sewn in the fabric and not on the fabric edge, i.e. the fabric is
not cut. The upper knife and upper knife arm should be raised. The
cover stitch gives a truly professional finish to all your home sewing.
It is perfect for hems, top stitching, flat joining seams and edging
elastic and bindings.

thread.
