Episode Description from the Publisher

The coverstitch machine can easily become an expensive hemming machine. So in this episode, Johanna and Malena talk about why it can do so much more than just finish the bottom of a t-shirt.Johanna is on a roll in this episode, and dishes on everything from reverse coverstitching and bindings to seams inspired by ready-to-wear activewear and even denim!Then the conversation turns to using woolly nylon and heavier threads for fuller coverage, binding techniques both with and without specialised attachments, and how mock flatlock seams can give knit garments a flatter, more professional finish. And of course, they address some gripes too, after all, this is an episode about coverstitch machines!
