Coverstitch sewing machines
A coverstitch machine creates flexible and durable seams commonly used for hemming T-shirts, sportswear and knitted garments. Unlike an overlock machine, it does not trim the fabric edge but produces a neat, professional-looking flat seam.
Our range includes Janome and Brother coverstitch machines. Depending on the model, they can sew with one, two or three needles and create cover stitches of different widths as well as a chain stitch.
When choosing a coverstitch machine, compare the number of needles and threads, working space, differential feed, stitch adjustments and included accessories. Contact us if you need help selecting a suitable model. Delivery is available throughout Latvia.
How to choose a coverstitch machine
The right model depends on the fabrics and garments you plan to sew. For hemming knitwear, the seam should remain flexible and lie flat when the material stretches. For more frequent use, a larger working area, convenient threading and easy stitch adjustment can make a noticeable difference.
Important features to compare
- Number of needles and threads. This determines the available coverstitch widths and stitch types.
- Differential feed. It helps control stretchy or lightweight fabrics and reduces unwanted waviness.
- Working space. More room to the right of the needle is useful for larger pieces and decorative stitching.
- Stitch adjustments. Compare stitch length, differential feed and, where available on the model, presser-foot pressure adjustment.
- Accessories. Check the included items and the availability of optional feet or binders for the specific model.
Coverstitch machine, overlocker and sewing machine
These machines perform different tasks. A sewing machine joins fabric pieces and provides everyday stitches. An overlocker trims and finishes the fabric edge, while a coverstitch machine creates a flexible finishing seam without cutting the fabric. They therefore often complement one another in garment making.
If your main goal is a professional finish on T-shirts, sportswear and other knitted garments, a coverstitch machine is the most specialised option.
Delivery and help choosing a model

Frequently asked questions
Is a coverstitch machine only for knitwear?
Its main advantage is finishing stretchy fabrics and knitwear, but a suitable stitch may also be used on other materials. The result depends on choosing the correct needles, thread and settings.
Does a coverstitch machine replace an overlocker?
No. An overlocker trims and finishes the fabric edge, while a coverstitch machine creates a flat, flexible finishing seam. The right choice depends on the task, and both machines are often used together for garment making.
How many needles do I need?
One needle creates a chain stitch, while two or three needles produce coverstitches of different widths. Check the supported stitch combinations for the individual model before purchasing.
