  1. Hello, I have the Janome CoverPro and I was wondering about the binding attachment

  2. Your blog is so informative! I was wondering if you could share the pattern, if there is one, for the turquoise top with the 'knot' in the front.

    Thanks!

  3. Thanks for all the examples. But now how may I find the how-to's for some of these techniques? How do I do a "straddled" stitch?

  4. The straddled stitch is just needle placement over the seam. Line up the center mark of the presser foot with the seam.

  7. Thank you. This is an excellent tutorial on coverstitch sergers. I have a Elna 745 and never realized you could get attachments to help give a professional look. I plan to work my way through your tutorial. All those examples you give in the beginning looked so good. Thank you

Thank you for each and every comment. I appreciate them all, but I have to be honest and let you know that I'm usually bad about answering questions. I hope you understand that there just isn't enough time in the day to do everything I want to do.
