Course Introduction

Course Introduction

Now a Coverstitch is a wonderful and very versatile machine to have. Still, it also comes with its own particular set of challenges and a bit of a learning curve, even for experienced sewists, especially if we want to tackle more challenging projects, which is why I created this course.

Course objective
You will learn how to troubleshoot and fix all those often frustrating issues you might encounter with a coverstitch machine. So that you can take your coverstitching skills to the next level and achieve a professional result. 

Course structure
This course is divided into chapters and subsections so that you can easily navigate to your specific problem and find the solution. But since many problems are caused by a combination of issues, and it's always good to familiarize yourself with the basics before tackling more advanced matters, I recommend watching the entire course.

Notebook
This course also comes with a notebook where you can document the best settings for different projects, saving you a lot of time and frustration in the future. You´ll find the pdf downloads in the left menu.
