This machine can produce a 3-thread 5.6 mm wide
bottom cover stitch.

The cover stitch can be used for covering, binding
or top-stitching necklines and for hemming the
bottom, of T-shirts and sweat suits, etc. in addition
to flat joining seams (plain seaming).

The cover stitch is most suitable for stretchy fabrics such
as knit.

It also can be used in woven fabrics
such as denim, but careful attention must be paid to
the tension settings or there is the possibility of thread
breakage and or skipping.

If you experience skipping or thread breakage sewing
denim change needles first and then adjust the
tensions little by little (1/4 number at a time).
