TIPS FOR BETTER COVERSTITCHING
■ Make sure the needles sit firmly in the slot
■ Try a larger needle if the fabric and the machine can handle it
■ Replace used needles with fresh ones
■ Check the threading
■ Flatten out bumpy surfaces
■Increase stitch length and differential feed when sewing over bulky seams
■ Sometimes increasing the stitch length, in general, can help too. I’ve found that if I go below 2 on my coverstitch machine it’s much more likely to start skipping stitches.
■ Use a wash-away stabiliser or fusible interfacing to help the stitching form better
■ Never pull the fabric
■ Experiment with the presser foot pressure
■ Use quality thread and needles
