The Imaginative Seamstress

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! I'd definitely rather have separate machines! What I can't believe is that my manual doesn't tell you how to do it! Grr!** Anyway, this story has to do with an actual cover stitch machine.  I'd seen them online and researched them a little. I figured I'd get one someday and it would probably cost $300.00 used.

When I go to my in law's home, they go out of their way to make us feel at home. My Mother-in-love many times, insists that I don't help cook or clean... and she holds the baby while I sew! That's right, she lets me bring my sewing machine and clears room for me at the kitchen table. I know right? All my crafting/sewing buddies have my permission to be terribly jealous!...
