What Is a Cover Stitch Sewing Machine?
A cover stitch sewing machine lets a seamstress produce professional looking garments at home. Garment makers use the cover stitch to complete the hem on pants, shirts and skirts. The stitch consists of two rows of thread with a third thread looping around them. While some sergers may have a cover stitch feature, busy seamstresses may prefer to own a separate machine dedicated to the cover stitch.
