Jaimielaura, I’ve only just got back into sewing again after a two year absence (and I’d only had the coverstitcher a couple of months before I went on hiatus). It can be a bit temperamental compared to a sewing machine or overlocker, with fabric thickness being the main area of fussiness. You do need to test your fabric prior to use and fiddle with the tension and especially the foot pressure (the tension used for binding or coverstitching over an overlocked neck binding is completely different to that which you’d use for hemming, and I’ve found I usually need to ramp up the foot pressure when going over seams). But once you get the hang of it, and understand the basics of what works for different types and thicknesses of fabric, it’s great. I’ve found that with thinner / stretchier knits you need to starch your bindings if you use the binding attachment (and hems too if you really want a clean finish), so honestly, I don’t find it much faster than binding by hand, but the result is more professional looking.
