If you are sewing in London and want your garments to look professional, you need to understand what each machine does.
A coverstitch machine is mainly used to hem stretch fabrics like jersey, cotton lycra, and activewear materials. It creates those parallel lines you see at the bottom of T-shirts and sportswear.
It is not the same as an overlocker.
An overlocker finishes raw edges.A coverstitch finishes hems professionally.
If you are sewing for clients or building a small sewing business in London, this machine helps you:
• Sew clean hems on knit fabrics• Attach elastic professionally• Finish necklines• Give garments a retail look
Do you need it immediately?
Not always.
If you are just starting, you can grow with a basic sewing machine. But if you want to level up your quality and charge better prices, the coverstitch becomes a powerful tool.
As a Latina Colombian pattern maker living this journey with you, I want you to grow step by step — without pressure, but with vision.

I teach you how to thread your machine step by step so you can start using it with confidence.
Because sewing is not just a hobby. It’s income.
