Master the Coverstitch Machine: The complete coverstitch sewing guide Paperback – March 13, 2019

This book is a great resource for coverstitch users. It has lots of information and good visuals. It has helped with learning to use this machine and understanding how it works.

Johanna Lundstrom did an excellent job of presenting details essential to quality coverstitching, which makes this an excellent source for beginning coverstitch sewers, as well as for those who have begun using a coverstitch machine, but want their projects to look more like ready to wear.Johanna includes interviews from professional coverstitch educators, as well as coverstitch machine operators with years of experience in the manufacturing clothing industry, and includes details about a variety of coverstitch machines, including the special presser feet and attachments, which help keep coverstitches looking professional.I love that Johanna includes information about copying ready to wear coverstitch techniques, because that is what most of us buy a coverstitch machine for, to make our sewing look professional!

I bought this book in the same order as my first coverstitch machine, and I’m so very glad I did! Full color photographs and well-written text clearly walk you through everything from how the machine works, when you’d want to use a coverstitch, how to start and stop sewing, and - most important - how to easily remove your project from the machine and tie off the threads. If I only had my machine’s manual to rely on, my first project would still be stuck in the coverstitch! The author goes on to demonstrate a variety of uses for the machine beyond hemming. Save yourself a ton of frustration and buy this book - I’m glad I did!

This is all you need to get jump started on a coverstitch machine. Easy to follow, clear instructions, lots of illustrations. After studying this book, I was able to quickly overcome beginner's issues and get really nice results. The author also has a very helpful website with blogs and videos. Great source material.

This book is absolutely the best and is packed with everything you need to know about coverstitch machines and how to achieve great stitches. I highly recommend this book for all coverstitch machine owners or for those considering buying one. Absolutely awesome!

I am pleased with this book. It has a lot of information. Photos are good. Very useful.

This book is easy to read and will be easy to find the specific area I will need to go to when I'm making an item. Each step is broken down, with pictures, and is very easy to understand. The author, Johanna Lundstrom, has taken her experience and gathered the experience from other experts and put it in this book, saving the reader from having to search for information. I plan to take every area she has explained and practice it on scrap material, so I am more comfortable with what this great machine can do.

This book sets the standard for what a sewing book should be. It is clearly written with additional summaries of key points to remember. There are photos illustrating every step. The author has thought through the processes she teaches and makes no assumptions. I could hardly put it down but kept reading it from cover-to-cover like a novel! I feel so confident about cover stitching now and how to use the cover stitching ability of my BabyLock Evolution!
