Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a Top Cover Stitch and why is it important? A: A standard cover stitch only loops on the bottom of the fabric, leaving two or three straight needle lines on top. A Top Cover Stitch uses an additional spreader to weave thread on the top side of the fabric as well. This creates a highly stretchable, professional-looking seam identical to the hems found on store-bought athletic wear and t-shirts.
Q: Can I hem small areas like cuffs and sleeves? A: Yes. Unlike many dedicated coverstitch machines that only offer a flat bed, the Janome CoverPro 3000P features a built-in free arm. You can slide sleeves, pant legs, and children's clothing easily around the arm for snag-free sewing in the round.
Q: Is it difficult to adjust the tension for different fabrics? A: Not at all. The CP3000P features Janome's Tension Level Control (TLC) system. If you are sewing thin, soft knits that tend to pucker, simply flip the TLC switch. Furthermore, the built-in color reference chart tells you exactly where to set your dials without needing to open the instruction manual.
