Wendy

This is my go-to reference to make sure my results are great every time. When I’m setting things up for a new sewing project and my stitching is not going perfectly, I just refer back to Coverstitch Success to see which adjustment I should check. When I first got my machine I was so frustrated. Learning what adjustments to make has helped me to love my coverstitch machine. The Last Stitch is my go-to resource for all things coverstitch! Thanks for a professional, comprehensive and easy to understand course!

Frequently asked questions

How does this course work?

It's a video course divided into chapters and subsections so that you can jump straight into a specific problem and learn the best solutions quickly and succinctly. You can also take the entire course in chronological order, which I highly recommend as it gives you a deeper understanding of how the coverstitch machine works and how to best use it.

How long do I have access to this course?

You will be able to watch the course as many times as you want, it's unlimited access for a one-time fee. So you can watch it over and over, whenever and wherever (as long as you have an internet connection, it's a stream-only course).

The great thing about it being on-line is that every time I update it you will get the latest version when you log into the course platform.

I'm a beginner, is this course for me?

Yes! This is the course I wished someone had given me when I first started coverstitching. By taking this course, you will avoid many beginner frustrations that many of us had to go through when we first started using a coverstitch machine.

The course is straightforward to follow, with lots of visual aids and beginner-friendly tutorials, free from technical jargon.

I'm a pretty experienced coverstitch user, can I still benefit from this course?

If you feel that you have already mastered your coverstich machine and hardly ever have issues, then you might not need this course. But if you are having some problems and are keen to pick up a few new tricks and techniques, then I think you would still find value in this course.

Before you make your decision, check out the list of lessons on this page to see if there are any topics you want to learn more about. I don't want you to buy something that you don't need!

How do I watch the course?

Coverstitch Success is a video course you can watch on your desktop, laptop, tablet or mobile device. Since the course is small-screen friendly, it's the perfect companion when sitting at your sewing desk and you need to check something quick.

Does this course have step-by-step tutorials for sewing garments with a coverstitch machine?

No, this course teaches the best techniques and troubleshooting. It is not a class about sewing a garment from start to finish using a coverstitch machine.

If you want to learn about that, check out my book Master The Coverstitch Machine, which is packed with clearly illustrated tutorials on everything from various binding and neckline techniques to hemming, topstitching and lots more!

Psst, you can buy a bundle with the e-book version of Master The Coverstitch Machine and this course at a reduced cost.

How long does the course take?

It takes about 2 hours from start to finish. It's a course that goes straight to the point. Every lesson is short and actionable, with a quick summary at the end in case you missed something. Not a minute is wasted on less important info.

Also, because of the format, you can just jump into a specific chapter to learn how to fix a particular problem in a matter of minutes.
