My dealear had no idea that the Babylock coverstitch machine (BLCS) had different feet than the Evolve coverstitch/serger machine. Look out, the binders for each machine look almost identical but there is a bigger "bump" under the BCLS ones. This led to much confusion with my sewing machine dealer. Also, the Babylock coverstitch feet uses **BLA** in the parts number. Read the packaging carefully and make sure it says "BLCS" on it as well.

Here are all the feet for the babylock coverstitch machine summarized and they are not interchangeable with the Evolve coverstitch. I list it because my dealer also said that belt loop binders did not exist for the BLCS.

And a big plus, the single fold 28mm is equivalent to the 1 1/8=finished 3/8" binding width. Yay!

I have a reference chart from my BL dealer and there are 22 attachments that have BLCS on it. If I were not such a dim wit with the computer I would scan it and add it to this post...but have no blooming idea how to do that. For now I would like to say that I "negotiated" to get a clear foot and fabric guide with my BLCS. So highly recommended I think every BLCS owner should have them. Can we all scream for Debbie to do an attachment review after Christmas? Maybe whoever feels inclined could put money in an account at the store of her choice...for her to buy a bunch of the attachments to do a review. This might be a nice way to thank her for her incredible tutorials...what do you think? Call it Debbie's thank you gift ...I don't know...just thinking out loud here...that way she gets to have all the attachments and WE get to have more of "Debbie good stuff".
