Episode 8—All About Coverstitch Machines
Coverstitch machines are relatively new to the domestic sewing market but are gaining in popularity. Primarily used for hemming knit garments, a coverstitch machine will elevate the look of your me-made garments. They also have binding and decorative stitch capabilities. In this episode, I'll go over the ins and outs of coverstitch machines, why you might want one, and how to decide between a standalone machine and a serger/coverstitch combo machine.
