Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a coverstitch machine and a regular serger?

A coverstitch machine creates the professional double or triple needle topstitching you see on T-shirt hems and necklines, with a chainstitch on the reverse side. Unlike an overlock serger that finishes raw edges, a coverstitch machine is designed specifically for hemming and decorative topstitching on stretch fabrics. The Elna Easycover V2 is dedicated to coverstitching and does not perform overlock functions.

What accessories are included in the bonus package?

The bonus package includes an adjustable seam guide for precise stitching, narrow and wide gathering attachments for creating ruffles and gathers, and a pack of Schmetz ELx705 needles in size 90/14. These accessories expand the creative possibilities of your coverstitch machine beyond basic hemming.

Is this machine suitable for beginners?

Yes, the Easycover V2 is designed with beginner-friendly features including color-coded threading guides, a looper that disengages for easier threading, and automatic tension release. While coverstitching does have a learning curve, these features make it more accessible than many coverstitch machines, and you'll receive free lifetime support from OSP Machines.

How does this compare to the Janome 2000CPX?

The Elna Easycover V2 and Janome 2000CPX share similar capabilities as both are mechanical coverstitch machines with comparable stitch options and differential feed. Elna and Janome are related companies, and these models offer similar performance. The Easycover V2 includes bonus accessories and backs the machine with Elna's 25-year mechanical warranty.

What types of fabric can I use with this coverstitch machine?

The Easycover V2 excels with knit and stretch fabrics including jersey, interlock, rib knit, Lycra, and athletic wear materials. The adjustable differential feed from 0.5 to 2.25 allows you to work with lightweight knits without stretching and heavier fabrics without puckering. While primarily designed for knits, you can also use it on stable woven fabrics for decorative topstitching.
