Coverstitch help Elna 745 Coverlock
RufflesGazebo Intermediate AUSTRALIA Member since 8/27/12 Posts: 1	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 8/27/12 3:03 AM Hello! I'm new here and am in desperate need of help with my cover stitch function on the elna coverlock 745! Essentially where I live there isn't anywhere I can really get support/help with a complex machine like this. The issue im having is that the left side/outter side of the cover stitch doesn't seem to catch and so only the right side ends up sewing, leaving me essentially with a very loose chain stitch. I've changed the needle and thread and rethreaded it a few times, but everytime i go back to the coverstitch function I have this issue. I also have similar issues with the chain stitch. Any help would be super appreciated!! I'm lost as to what to do!! Thank you lovely pattern review users :)

Check that you are using the correct needle paths when threading and that the thread is seated in the tension discs. If you are still having problems there is a very helpful Yahoo elna serger group who maybe able to help ------ Wellington, NZ

Changing the needle didn't help, but having the machine serviced took care of it.
