My Coverstitch Machine

Ever since I saw cover stitching, I've wanted to do it. Even the cover of my serger manual shows cover stitching. **But I can't figure out how to do it with that machine. I suspect you need a completely different plate to sew on. Which means you'd have to convert from serging, to cover stitching, and back again..whenever you needed to!
