Hi, I've had the 2000CPX since Jan 2022 and I am soo pleased with the way all my garments have that professional finish I had failed to achieve with twin needles or sewing two single lines for stretch hems!! Recently my machine was acidentally dropped and despite replacing the necessary parts sucessfully I experienced varying success one some fabric, especially ITY which tunnelled, missed stitches and puckered. This troubleshooting guide was so helpful! The acknowledgement that this model is unforgiving unless everything is sgh!!et up correctly. The explanation of the setting this nice lady uses enabled me to reset my machine and YAY!! test pieces including ITY stitched perfectly first time!!!
I have the 1000CPX and I love this machine. I have not had any issues with it. There are several reasons why I chose this machine 1. I did not want to constantly convert my serger in the middle of sewing a garment. I wanted a dedicated machine. 2. Look at the throat plate. Over 5”. You can get your fabric as far over as you need. Not possible on the Baby Lock or the Juki. If I have a two pieced garment I can get to that seam and reinforce it. I like the fact that it’s similar to a sewing machine too. I think this machine is awesome. I also think your videos are awesome!
Really instructive tutorial. I have used my Coverstitch machine straight out of the box and love it. I purchase a really cheap one previously and had to return it twice (also the replacement machine. I have found Janome machines to be reliable and as Johanna has said - a good machine for the price. I ma loving my Coverstitch and am using it for hemming everything in sight. I only sew knit fabrics and have done so for many years as they are so much fun to sew and comfortable to wear. Decorative threads in the machine (such as metallic) also give a stunning finish to some garments. I believe my Janome Coverstitch has been a good investment.
Thanks a million Johanna for pointing out that little thread guide slot for the looper (below the tension disc). I would never have found that otherwise. All your tips are so helpful for us newcomers to the Janome.
Needing to thread the machine correctly is not a fault with the machine.
I have had this machine for a bit over a year. I really do like the features (larger work area on the right for one). Only problems I have had have related to operater errors (LOL). Like this video. I received your book "Master The Coverstitch Machine". Good book to have by side.
I bought the Janome CoverPro 1000CPX because, basically it was the only one I could get in a Covid lock down Canada, but I have been
Thank you Johanna for all your efforts x
This was so useful and solved my annoying slipped stitch problems. Thanks!
Great video! I’m in the market for a coverstitch machine and this was very informative. Thank you!
Super helpful, thank you. And, totally unrelated, I love how you say Janome!
Love the janome 2000cpx. Have made lots of garments with it. Its not the machine, it's the operator if things go wrong.
Thanks for this helpful video. I have purchased a secondhand coverpro 1000 and after seeing discusions on how some love it and some hate it I am a little nervous about trying my machine. It is in my sisters town so I will pick it up on summer holidays. This will help me be prepared!
Thank you very much for your videos!!! Very thorough and well explained.
Very informative video. I really enjoyed watching it as I want to get myself a cover stitch machine.
Just to set fire to the conversation... I hardly doubt engineers would place that lower hole on the thread dispenser if there was no point to do that. This is a pretty common issue I see also with Janome sergers. Perhaps it can be a translation issue that doesn't exactly point the purpose... or a lack of communication between engineers and manual writers. The thing is: if you want to match manual results as for tension, you'll get that by first threading it through the hole (front to back) and then proceeding. It matches both manuals' settings EXACTLY if you do that. It adds further tension and stabilization (I sew with a fan to my face). It also helps with twisting and tangling and breaks if you work with wooly nylon.
Hi Johanna I just found your info about Janos on CZcams. I have Janome 900 almost 1 yer. Working perfectly till now. I discovered cover stitching year ago because start working as seamstress. Great machine. Last days my machine start skipping stitches . I have EL x 705 needles try rethread couple times - nothing help . I starting watching you on CZcams hope I find clue THAK You Izabela
Thanks for your review! I purchased my Janome Coverpro 2000 in December after watching a couple of your other coverstitch videos and testing some machines. One of the biggest advantages is the large sewing arm space on the Janome compared to the Juki and Babylock coverstitch machines. I like having a lot more room to maneuver.
Tack så mycket! In the US you can buy the Elna Easycover which is the exact same machine as the Janome 2000cpx. And it is often, for some reason, less expensive.
