le mani d'oro

Ladies, I need tips on how to properly cover stitch the pockets of my jacket. Does any one have a tutorial to suggest ? I am struggling with this aspect of my project. I need to cover stitch the pockets and the flaps (round shape in both cases) before going any further.

I am willing to transform the flaps and pockets into square ones if you have tips for cover stitching perfect corners. I really need HELP ! with this one.

Thank you in anticipation for your generosity.

Did I say that last summer I bought one Baby lock 4 thread overlock (the Enlighten) and one Cover Stitch machine from the same company? I inherited a little bit of money and I thought it would be a good investment. Well it is indeed.

The only draw back: threading the Cover Stitch correctly is NOT that easy. Grrr

Oh my, my, I just spent 30 minutes trying to find what was wrong with my machine or the way I threaded. Jeanne from Jalie Pattern once told me that when the stitching is wrong underneath there is a problem with the top threads.

She was right the thread did not go through the tension node corectly. 30 minutes of cover stitch waisted :-(
