Data from official source

The easycover is a cover-stitch machine meant as a companion to a serger: it makes the cover hem and the chain stitch, it does not cut fabric and it does not finish raw edges the way an overlock does. Cover-stitch runs at 3 mm or 6 mm, and the chain stitch uses up to 3 needle positions, so the same machine handles both narrow hems and wider finishes.

"Tension Level Control" loosens the looper tension on its own when moving from heavy jersey to a thin fabric, something that would otherwise mean adjusting the dials at every fabric change; foot pressure stays manually adjustable. Differential feed runs from 0.5 to 2.25, stitch length from 1 to 4 mm, and top speed reaches 1,000 stitches per minute. The free arm lets you work cuffs and tubular hems without turning the garment.

Threading paths are colour-coded and the looper releases to make threading easier, but it is still manual threading, not air-assisted. It suits someone sewing garments at home who wants a professional-looking hem, used alongside a serger for the raw edges, not someone looking for overlock capability in the same machine.

02 · Summary

Pros and cons

In favour

  • It makes the cover hem at both 3 mm and 6 mm: it changes the finish without buying another machine
  • Differential feed adjustable from 0.5 to 2.25 helps on light jersey and fabric that tends to pucker
  • The free arm lets you work on cuffs and trouser legs without turning the fabric
  • The adjustable presser foot pressure moves from heavy cotton to thin fabric with nothing to remove

Worth knowing

  • It is a cover-stitch and chain-stitch machine: it does not cut fabric and does not overlock, a serger alongside it is needed for raw edges source
  • Maximum stitch length is 4 mm: anyone wanting a longer basting stitch has to set it up elsewhere
  • The looper releases to simplify threading, but it has no air-threading like more recent sergers
