 Cover Hem Narrow 
  
  This professional Cover Hem is a necessary requirement for today’s sewing.   
 The stitch is often seen in ready-to-w ear garments.  Two needles create parallel  
  rows of topstitching and one looper sews  an edge finish on the underneath side.     
  Depending on which needle position is sele cted, the width can be 5.6mm wide or  
  2.8mm wide.
