From attaching neckbands, bag making, to beautiful bias binding, shirring and pintucks, these specialist feet show just how versatile a coverstitch machine can be.

The feet I’m using all come together in one accessory set for Baby Lock coverlock machines, so this is a particularly useful watch if you already own a Baby Lock and want to get even more from your machine. There are often similar or equivalent feet available for other brands of coverstitch and coverlock machines too, and I’ve linked everything above.

And even if you don’t own a coverstitch machine yet, this is a really interesting look at what these machines can actually do. Some of these feet might completely change what you thought a coverstitch was for!

In this video:
• Attaching neckbands with a coverstitch machine
• Using a coverstitch machine for bag making
• Creating neat bias binding
• Shirring with a coverstitch
• Sewing pintucks
• Baby Lock coverstitch and coverlock accessory feet

I enjoyed this video and really appreciate you including some of the awkward moments where you had to struggle and re-feed the fabric. So often we see demos where everything works perfectly the first time and then when we try to duplicate the action and run into difficulty blame ourselves instead of trying something different.❤

I have a Bernina coverstich sitting on the shelf collecting dust. This video has inspired me to dust it off and try these techniques. Thank you for the video.

Love my Babylock Euphoria coverstitch, and that the newer coverstitch machines will run without the fabric, chaining off. My Babylock is my second coverstitch, and also have a Babylock serger. Love the air threading feature. ❤️ do have some of these feet, thanks for the demo.

Presumably for hems and binding you need to change the order if construction of the garment? I would like to see more examples of this if possible please as im not sure how to do it otherwise?

@LMCsews 3 days ago

A really useful video, thank you. I need to start using my machine more! Do you have a video that explains how to hem 'in the round' using the machine. I understand how to do it when the fabric remains flat but not sure how it works when it is joined.

love your demo's Lucy, always find something I didn't know in their content. I have the babylock desire 3 would any of these be suitable for this machine. Thanks.
