I just bought this same machine and I’m so excited to use it, but also intimidated! Everyone seems to recommend the same group on Facebook, and while it’s helpful, the main website associated with the group is confusing and I couldn’t quite grasp what they were saying. Your walk through helped a ton, and I can’t wait to go try again!

I’m currently working on seam ripping double needle hems and re doing them. I had a huge problem with tunneling with the double needle no matter what I did. So happy to have a chance at some prettier hems! Thanks for the awesome tips! Happy sewing!

My looper is on 0
My needles are on 1/2
Almost no tunneling…. just a tiny bit ever so slight.
Thank you for your help !

Tunneling is usually a sign that the tension is a bit too tight, so I would loosen that up first. If you’re using a thinner knit, tunneling can happen despite machine settings so I recommend using fusible hem tape to add a bit of stability.

Hi, it won’t let me see the pic :/ But after sewing the only way is probably to sew again with either a smaller stitch length or tighter tension or both. There should be trouble shooting in your manual for this issue as well. And it can differ depending on the fabric.

It really depends on the knit. I just saw from a previous comment that I suggested 5/5/8 earlier, so that’s probably a good bet for decently stable knit like this jersey with wooly nylon in the looper. I no longer have this coverstitch otherwise I’d be more specific. It’s always good to start with the recommended range from the user manual though and do some trial stitches and work from there.

I’ve provided a picture. Thanks! 🙂 [IMG]http://i64.tinypic.com/2v16ww8.jpg[/IMG]
