Thank you for watching
Add any tips into the comments for me
Thank you
Andrea
For unusual colour fabrics get one large matching reel of tread and wind sewing machine bobbins for use as your needle threads, much cheaper than buying four cones which you may never use again.
Hi Andrea, I have had my Janome 2000cpx for four years now and, like you, I purchased it sight unseen. This is a fabulous machine and you will love it more and more as you get to know it. One thing I would advise you to do (if you haven't already) is that if you are on Facebook, you join the Janome Coverstitch group. I have found this group invaluable: 'Janome Coverstitch Support with Michelle'sSewbiz'. Good luck with your beautiful Janome Coverpro!!
That’s super advice , thank you so much . I love the machine a lot , it’s made such a difference to my jersey tops . I’ve never been a fan of the zig zag for the hem , I really love the finish of the coverstitch .. a great buy for sure
@@Beyondthepinkdoor When you join the FB group, have a look at all the videos that Michelle has posted there in there...ask questions of the group......so many helpful, friendly people from all over the world. I am in Australia and as I read through the comments here on your CZcams video I found someone who I have had a chat with in the Janome FB group (your compatriot, Siobhan Hayes)!! Small world, Andrea. xo
So glad you are enjoying your new machine ❤️❤️I have the same one purchased from a friend a few months back. Perfect stitches each and every time...... Until one day all I got was bunching, gathering, puckers etc etc. So re threaded, changed needles, cleaned and everything else I could think of!! Still the same!! Then discovered I hadn't snapped the free arm on properly, it was sticking up about an eighth of an inch which stopped the fabric feeding. One in a million chance but worth bearing in mind. Enjoy ❤️❤️
Oh gosh it's always something simple isn't it !! That's unbelievable. I've recently discovered that my regular sewing machine will sew beautifully with the blind hemmer foot attached, but it skips, puckers etc with the normal utility foot attached . It's head scratching !!
Beyondthepinkdoor yep!! Sometimes it just doesn’t add up! Although my problem was a ‘ bloody bugga’ when I realised what was the problem. Look forward to seeing how you get on with yours in the future ❤️
Jenni Flake been there - done that 🤣🤣
Lynne PRENTICE lol glad I’m not the only one.
Had mine a little while now I love it! I haven't used it in a while as I've not sewed many knits lately. I bought the binder and not used it yet, but it does give a professional finish. A handy tip I learned apart from always give your hems a good press,I cut the hem depth I want after pressing then use a large hand tack all around the edge when turned over that tacking line becomes a middle guide ensuring the two end needless sew neatley over raw edge. It just gives a heater finish than trying to clip close to stitching risking catching your garment.. enjoy it ! X
The Stitch Sisters course shows you to position the middle needle on the edge of the hem turn up..... this means that the far left needle is outside the hem edge and the looper threads on the inside enclose the entire raw edge - means you don't have to trim the fabric! Even the shop where I bought mine didn't tell me to do that..... it gives a great finish!
Thanks for this! I watched your video and signed up for the Stitch Sisters class. I’ve ordered the Coverpro 3000 and a hem guide.
Congratulations 👏
You may want to purchase a clear view foot. This foot helps you to see the stitches where you started. I always sew two or three stitches past the beginning stitches. Glad you are enjoying your new machine! I love the professional look it brings to the garment!
Oh yes a clear foot sounds like a great addition.. thank you for that. Yes' i really love the professional look it has given to my top.
It’s great isn’t it? You will find loads of uses for it I am certain! I very rarely use cones for my machine, I use regular bobbins most of the time. If you are making garments with multicolour prints you can then mix and match and have three different colours in the needles. Creates a great effect! 😍
Oh yes that’s a great tip , thank you .. I like the idea of mixing the colours
You can put a little strip of masking tape to the right of the needle plate to help to sew in a straight line. That is a tip I picked up. Congratulations on your new machine I am sure you will enjoy it.
So glad you found our class useful in your Coverstitch journey! Thank you for the lovely review.
Your course was absolutely brilliant, I wouldn’t have had a clue how to use the machine without doing it . I’ve recommended it to so many people .
I noticed your threads are not wrapped in the aerial and those threads should wrap into the holes as they add a small amount of added tension to the threads. Also if you encounter skipped stitches you need to use the eLx705 for woven fabrics and the eLx505SUK for knits. If you encounter skipped stitches or while going over seams or difficulty going over seams you need to raise your pressure foot adjustment knob and it will alleviate any such problems. The looper is usually set one number lower than the threads and if you notice tunneling then you move the number down till the tunneling disappears. The only adjustment needed is the pressure foot knob. I basically keep all my settings at factory default and never have an ounce of trouble with using it. I find if you have problems it is usually a user error. Great machine. I bought the genuine binder but it is pricey and you can find the complete generic set on NGO sewing supply for $99 or make an offer. It is identical to the Genuine Binder set. Cutex and Sharp also sell the binders for the machine. Just make certain you get binders that look like genuine ones as some generic ones will not fit even though they claim they do. Avoid the type with the two screw bars and the top one has a center middle metal bar. Join the Janome Coverstitch group on FB.
Yay! Congratulations 😁😁😁 The little ridges are also very helpful when you're hemming in the round and you want to go over the first stitch perfectly (they show you precisely where the needles go) I'm sure you're going to have a lot of fun 😁
Thank you Alex, I have a lot to learn. I'm so pleased to have it now.
Hi Andrea.
I have owned a Janome coverstitch for years. Hope you enjoy using it. Try watching The Last Stitch she goes into using it well and has written books on it. She has a vast knowledge of coverstitch machines all the ins and outs of everything . Her video's can help you when thing go wrong , and also about different feet that can be used on it. She owns the same Machine as yourself. and she is really good to watch and a good you tuber like yourself.
lindalucia31 I agree, I have Johanna book and it’s a great reference, as are her vlogs 👍😁
I have the Janome for a number of years and I find it really easy to use. My Janome came (in Europe) with a bonus of a clear foot and an elastic one. On CZcams there are many tutorials for Janome coverpro as well as for coverstitching in general. Gail Yellen has some tips on using a coverstitch, another brand but the ideas remain, as well as Glenda with Surefit Designs and probably others. Sewing with the free arm is OK for neck and other long seams but not for sleeves unless they are not yet sewn. It is a matter of circumference. I made several polo shirts for my husband copying an older purchased one and sewed along the shoulder seams and the side seams and they look very professional. When my Bernina serger started breaking threads all the time I used the cover stitch to sew the seams. I cut the excess of fabric on the right side of the seam allowance and it worked! I mostly use 2 threads and the looper. I keep hand sewing thread empty bobbins and wind by hand a little of the colour thread I need on each of them instead of buying corresponding colour cones. I keep them stay on the spindles with the bobbin caps.
Had mine 2days so thank you I am about as far as you, good video thank you
Thank you for this fascinating video - I didn't realise I needed a coverstitch machine but I do! You explained it so well and I am about to buy the Audrey pattern too LOL!!!
Teresa Hanington ha ha glad you enjoyed it!! You’ll love the Audrey , It’s my favorite top!!
Thank you so much for sharing this video. I purchased a Janome CoverPro 2000CPX Tuesday and the machine arrived on Thursday so my cover stitch is one day old.
I am like you a visual learner more than a reader so I will check out the stitch sisters 👍👍😊😊
I have just started using the Janome 900pcx. So so glad I did. I have just sewn a client's pamts (trousers) with it and I am over joyed with the result. I chose the Janome because of the wide throat and the free arm.
Hi. I purchased this machine several hours ago and within 5 minutes it puts out a fabulous stitch. Appreciate your video, learning a lot and will definitely watch the Stitch Sisters. If only overlockers were as easy as this machine. Thank you:)
Congrats on your new machine. I only use the two left needles as i found the three needle hem changes the drape of the fabric. Like every machine they have their own idiosyncrasies, many more than one would prefer😂😂
Thank you , I’m really enjoying learning to use it . I hadn’t thought of using the 2 left ones, I was going to rake out the middle one. Thank you for that tip !
Hi Andrea I have had a cover stitch machine for a while now and have had issues with it that’s for sure....skipped stitches seem to be the main problem for me but I have joined a cover stitch group on Facebook and am learning all kinds of things....one is never to “help” the fabric through by pulling on the back like we do in sewing occasionally, this will cause skipped stitches (I can attest to this). The group is Janome coverstitch support with Michelle’s Sewbiz......there are videos and all kinds of help on there from others owners of Janome cover stitch machines....your garments look really great....and I love your channel .
Thank you ... I've just ordered this machine ... you were very helpful in putting my mind to rest... it wasn't easy picking one ....
Now you have made me want one, I always thought they were difficult to use, you made it look easy. Cannot wait until you show us more. Thank you.
Oh Lorraine, its so easy to use, I was amazed.
I just bought this machine yesterday.....I’m picking it up on Tuesday.....this machine seems like it’s such an easy machine to operate! Now I can’t wait to use mine!
Hi Andrea. I found you on CZcams this morning and am enjoying your vlogs. Just love, love your Irish accent!
My husband has bought me the janome coverstitch for Christmas and it comes tomorrow,
Now I’m even more excited after watching your video. I had been debating for months now whether to get one, like you I wasn’t happy at the zig zag stitch. Love your top and looks so much more professional using the cover stitch. 🤗
Congratulations for having a lovely machine..I love sewing and I only have my simple single sewing machine,I love to have overlockstitch first before that coverstitch,I'll be back again in this video once God granted my humble request of having the complete set of sewing machine ..so beautiful machine you have.. congrats again🥰
I’m so pleased I bought this machine . I’m sewing all my life , sewing for myself and for my job and have only bought this now. So pleased with it
Thank you so much, I think I will purchase one, love from Dublin. PS nice to hear an Irish accent 😉
Greetings from Galway Margaret!! You won't be sorry for buying it, its a great machine
quick hint with pulling overlocker threads through, rather than cutting and rethreading - set you tensions to zero first
Thanks for the video in the demo I’ve subscribed hun your amazing 🙏❤️
Just received my Janome CP 2000 yesterday, looking for hints and tips and came across your vid. , very helpful and clear. Thanks. I’m thrilled with the machine so far. Look forward to more from you x
Hi Andrea, I have just found this Vlog of a coverstitch and I am looking at one. Thank you for the tutorial. I am more of a visual learner. xx
I watched your video and enjoyed the info you provided. I don't have this machine, I have 2 sergers, but overall your video was delightful.
That was a very useful video. I'm considering picking up one myself. I have been using a twin needle to finish all my t-shirts and jersey tops, but this looks like a useful addition to the room.
I have the Brother coverstitch and love it again it was about price and ease, they are so much easier to thread than a overlocker so glad you showed that so simply for fellow sewists. Thank you for sharing
Wendy Ware thank you for watching.. yes they’re so simple to thread , I was very surprised and of course delighted 😀
Great share Thank You. I tried your elastic around the waist for gathering yesterday and my jumpsuit went together like a dream. Thank You for that top tip 🙌🏻❤️
Ah fab, thats great Sarah, it really is a great method, thanks to the avid seamstress day dress intructions!! It was a eureka moment for me
Looks really easy to use Andrea, hope you have fun using it and finishing off your garments professionally 😄 xx
I do love your top that you're wearing! I thought if you had a serger that you wouldn't need a cover stitch machine. I know very little about these machines. Thank you for sharing. I'm hoping to get one of them, since I do like knit garments.
Congratulations! Enjoy your new coverstitch machine.
Just ordered this machine ( 7th August) Thank you for the review.
Congratulations Mary . I’m sure you’ll love it as much as I do 🥰
This was the day of my machines delivery . When I contacted the company about the " no show " of my Janome ,I was told that it would be late September before they would have any in stock. I was offered a free upgrade for a more expensive machine. Sadly it's not a Janome , but a Bernina B42. Just felt I had to share.
Hi! I bought it a month ago and I just find that the lever for the foot is too small and wish they had guide lines on the flat bed like a sewing machine. Beside that I love it! Have a wonderful day. Christine 🇨🇦
Christine Lafleur I feel the same about the lever .. I almost thought there wasn’t a lever there at first , I had to turn the machine around to find it .
How exciting! Thank you for sharing your experiences so far and the class tip. Such great stitches to finish off your top! Love it! ❤️
I’m so excited to have this machine .. the class has been invaluable, it is packed with so much information
I joined a few coverstitch groups on fb Andrea, they are a wealth of information also. One in particular I like is Janome coverstitch support with Michelle’sSewbiz. She has some binder videos, another thing on the wish list also.
Oh fab thanks Siobhan, that sounds great. I will look them up
Thanks Andrea. Very interesting. I have an old Janome sewing machine I would not part with. My brother machine is a bit finicky.
Sandra O'Keeffe isn’t it funny how we are attached to the old ones!! New machines are such divas in comparison !! I love taking my old pfaff out when my husquvarna is in a mood 😊
Thank you for sharing. Love your presentation manner.
Thanks for watching! That s lovely to hear
Haya. Really enjoyed watching, you look super happy with it, I do not have 1, but could be tempted. Thanku for sharing. x
I’ve been dying to get one for so long , I’m so pleased I finally bought it .
@@Beyondthepinkdoor Yipeeeeeeee
I suddenly need a cover stitch machine too 🙈 Thank you.
How exciting to have a new machine. Let the games begin!!! I am very jealous LOL I know that I saw the fabric haul video, as I watch all your vlogs...where did you get that gorgeous jersey from please? xxx
Coverstitchers are brilliant. I use Johanna Lundstom's coverstitch book as a reference which is excellent and full of photos to follow. Enjoy your machine.
Brilliant thanks for showing us . X
Hi Andrea,
I live in ireland also iv being looking to get coverstitch machines, for a few weeks, the website you gave was great ,thank you cant wate for my new janome to come, reguards joanne
Joanne Hurley ooh congratulations.. you’ll love it !! Yes it’s an amazing website , they were super helpful too when I phoned them, even though they were up to their eyeballs mid lockdown!! Mine arrived within a few days . Enjoy
Enjoy your new toy!
Thank you ..
That was really interesting....I really want one now!!
I loved your video! I have the Janome 1000CP, the predecessor of the 1000CPX and I've had it for 17 years! Your machine looks like it does much more than mine so I need to find a home for my old one then I can buy the one you've bought! Loving your Irish accent! x
notimetowork I’m just learning how to use it and I love it. I’ve been dying to get one for so long, am delighted to have it now. I’m sure I’ll get lots of use from it going into autumn , with all the jersey projects I have on my ‘to do list’
Hi do you know how to refil your thread spools once you run out of thread ?
You’ve convinced me to order one can’t wait 😀
Woo .. congratulations, you’ll love it 😍
Hallo, ich habe die Maschine auch und komme nicht zu recht. Ich bin richtig verzweifelt 😢
Jedes mal wenn ich beim säumen über die seitliche Nähte will macht die Maschine Probleme. Stiche bleiben aus,.... .
Könnten Sie mir verraten wie ich das lösen kann bei Viscose Jersey und wie ich sie einstellen kann?
Ich würde mich sehr freuen über eine Antwort. Danke
Grüße aus Deutschland. 😊
I bought the superseeded Bernina L220 which is very quiet( 3 yrs ago). It is very complicated to thread the Looper thread from the back around to the side part. I think that is definitely a bonus for the Janome as well as the price being 200 less. But I already had the Expensive Binder for my sewing machine so it was necessary to buy the Bernina one to use on the coverstitch machine but requires an adaptor. I really love your Pink top, which I will get for summer. What thread cones do you buy in Ireland? I also use an iron-on stabiliser in the hem which is very fine and gives great result. It is almost impossible to get from USA but its very long amount and will last for long time. Called “SewKeys Easy” for knits. I also hope to save up for the coverstitch book by Johanna from The Last Stitch too. And get the Jeans book but it’s very pricey for making just one pair for me? .
Good video, thanks.
Thank you for this video, did you buy the binding attachment? If I was to buy it, would it be used to attach neckbands to knit fabrics? 🌸💞🌸
Thank you that was very useful and full of information. Glad you're so pleased with the new machine. Do you have an overlocker too? I don't have either but I'm sorely tempted now....
Thank you .. I have a lot to learn about it yet but so far so good.Yes I have an overlocker.. I couldn't manage without one.
You also get a clear foot for it. I prefer it.
That sounds like a great idea, thank you
Is it possible to put thread on bobbins to use instead of buying a bunch of thread?
Jacki Turner I suppose you could 🤔
Does it work only on knit? Or i can use it on woven.
