What changes on your hems

A coverstitch machine makes the stretchy hem you see on shop-bought T-shirts. The listing names both cover stitch and chain stitch. A free arm takes sleeves and cuffs in the round.

The one thing we'd check first

Before you order the Janome CoverPro 900CPX, check what you hem: a coverstitch machine hems knits; it does not trim or finish raw edges like a serger.

Before you buy

The fit

A coverstitch machine hems; it doesn't finish raw seams like a serger. Check which one your projects need.

What comes with it

Check the listing photos and text for what is in the box, and what is a separate purchase.

How you will use it

Think about the fabrics you sew most: the right needle and thread matter as much as the machine.

Our take

The verdict

The best thing about the Janome CoverPro 900CPX is a free arm. No buyer reviews yet, so the Janome CoverPro 900CPX has to win you over on paper. The catch with this Janome coverstitch machine: photos that can't tell you how well it suits your own projects. We'd pick it if you want a coverstitch machine for stretchy hems that look shop-bought; otherwise, put it next to the Janome CoverPro 2000CPX first.
