What is a Walking Foot?
The coverstitch chain stitch is distinct in its formation and application. Unlike traditional sewing that uses a single thread or a locked stitch mechanism, the coverstitch employs multiple threads that create a flat, durable, and flexible seam. It consists of two or three threads that form a series of parallel lines on the fabric's top side while creating a looper thread underneath. This structure provides the necessary elasticity required in knit garments, allowing for both movement and comfort.
In terms of functionality, the double needles chain stitch sewing machine is designed to handle a variety of materials. From lightweight fabrics like chiffon and silk to more robust materials such as denim and canvas, these machines can be easily adjusted to cater to different fabric weights and types. This versatility makes them a valuable asset in any sewing workshop, allowing businesses to take on a broader range of projects without needing multiple machines.
