What is a Coverer

The Overlock is an essential tool for creating coverstitch and hems on stretch fabrics. It uses up to three needles and a looper to create coverstitch, giving a similar look to overlock on the reverse side and a straight stitch on the front. Thanks to its speed and precision, it is ideal for stretch materials such as jersey, t-shirts and sportswear. The coverstitch machine offers the possibility of obtaining stretchy, resistant and aesthetically pleasing seams, making it an essential tool for tailors and seamstresses seeking professional results in their sewing projects, especially in clothing.

Differences between a serger and a coverstitch machine

Although they are often confused, the overlocker and the coverstitch machine offer distinct functionalities:

  • Serger : A complement to the sewing machine, it allows you to create overlock stitches. The overlock cuts the fabric while overlocking it to prevent fraying, thus creating clean and durable finishes on the edges of the fabrics. The overlocker is ideal for working with stretch fabrics, lightweight fabrics and for assembly seams. It can also create rolled hems and decorative finishes, and allows you to assemble fabrics efficiently.

  • Coverstitch : Designed to create coverstitch stitches, the coverstitch machine does not cut the fabric while sewing. It uses a looper and up to three needles to create coverstitch stitches. These stitches are similar to those made by a serger, but with a straight stitch visible on the right side of the fabric. The coverstitch machine is particularly suitable for hems on stretch fabrics such as jersey, swimwear and sportswear.

What are the advantages of the coverer?

  • Speed ​​and precision : Allows you to perform cover stitches quickly and accurately.
  • Professional Finish : Cover stitches provide a clean, aesthetic finish, perfect for hemming garments.
  • Reduced fabric curling : Unlike the sewing machine, the coverstitch machine prevents fabric curling when sewing hems, ensuring a neater result.
  • Suitable for stretch fabrics : Particularly effective for working with stretch fabrics such as jersey, t-shirts and sweatshirts.

What threads and needles are used for the cover stitcher?

To get the most out of your coverstitch machine, it is essential to choose quality threads for the machine. At Verotex, we offer " Le fil français" brand threads, a guarantee of quality. Use classic sewing threads for coverstitch, or foam thread at the looper to obtain softer and more stretchy hems. You can also experiment with metallic threads for decorative effects, always at the looper.

As for needles, make sure to use Schmetz needles specific for the coverstitch machine. These needles are designed to fit this machine perfectly and ensure high quality stitching.
