Sew Professional Hems with These Coverstitch Techniques Wondering what you can do with a coverstitch machine or which version is best for you? Join me, designer and author Gail Yellen, for my online Craftsy class Coverstitch: Basics & Beyond, where you’ll master essential coverstitch techniques to sew professional-quality garments you’ll be proud to wear. In class, you’ll learn to confidently use a coverstitch machine and understand the differences between a dedicated and combo serger/coverstitch machine. Plus when you learn with Craftsy, you can ask me questions along the way.   I’ll start off by going over the various features of a dedicated coverstitch machine and those of a combo serger/coverstitch machine. Then find out how to coverstitch basic hems — whether you're sewing on flat fabric or in the round — and how to hem smoothly over a bulky seam. Next, follow along as I introduce you to a triple stitch variation that's perfect for a decorative zipper insertion. Then see how to make beautiful faux flat-fell seams and lapped seams using a wide coverstitch variation. Afterwards, you’ll practice using a narrow coverstitch as you flawlessly hem an unbound neckline for casual or dressy garments.   We’ll wrap things up by exploring some exciting stitch accessories including decorative and blending threads, and the belt loop binder and downturn feller attachments. Enroll in Coverstitch: Basics & Beyond today and you’ll be hemming knits professionally in no time at all! I’m an independent pattern designer, author and an active member of the American Sewing Guild. I’ve been drawn to sewing since childhood – my grandmother’s treadle sewing machine is the earliest memory I have of needle and thread. In 1998, I started taking classes at Manchester Sewing Machine Center in CT, and sewing quickly became my passion and outlet for creative expression.   Teaching and interacting with sewing enthusiasts continues to be a source of inspiration and fun. You may recognize me from my other Craftsy class, 40 Techniques Every Sewer Should Know. I’m thrilled to teach another class with Craftsy and show you how to make the most of your coverstitch machine. I love that these classes are yours forever, so you can watch at your convenience anytime, anywhere, and come back as often as you like. See you there!
