Janome CoverPro 900CP Cover Hem Machine
A cover stitch gives garments a professional looking finish. Also known as a "cover hem", the cover stitch was only available on sergers in the past. Even then, it was only offered on the highest end sergers. Now this sophisticated finish is available on a machine with the power and control of an industrial specialty machine but with the look and feel of a home machine.
The CoverPro 900CP offers a wide 5mm, double-needle cover stitch and a chain stitch. Since it only does these two stitches it is extremely fast, running up to 1,000 stitches per minute.
It is easy to use and looks more like a sewing machine than a serger. It has familiar features including a full size sewing bed, free arm, vertical needle drop and a one-hand thread cutter. CoverPro machines are ideal for projects ranging from fashion tops to competition ice skating costumes.
A cover stitch is especially suited to strechy fabrics like knits. It also works well with the popular new blends of traditional woven fabrics containing a small amount of stretch fiber for added flexibility.
The cover stitch is a serger-type stitch made without the knives (no fabric is cut). It can be used not only to finish hems, necklines, collars and cuffs, but also for decorative effects in the middle of the fabric. Cover stitches can be made with two or three needles. A double needle cover stitch will show two lines of straight stitching on the top of the fabric, with the two lines joined by a "looping" stitch on the bottom side. Because both sides of a cover stitch are finished, it looks great with decorative thread.
This machine is as powerful as it is useful. Its innovative design is based on the marriage of an industrial-style cover hem machine and a convenient home machine. The resulting union has produced a high-speed, long arm, heavy-duty cover hem machine that looks and operates like a sewing machine.
It's the perfect companion machine for home decor, quilting and garment making.
Key Features
Extra Large Bed.
The 900CP has the largest sewing space available: 4 x 5.5 inches (100mm x 143mm). Such generous space also means you can actually make a cover stitch in the middle of a garment.
Greater Variable Stitch Length and Differential Feed.
The 900CP leads the competition in stitch length control (1mm-4mm) and differential feed ratio (0.5-2.25).
Exclusive Free Arm.
Only Janome has a cover stitch machine with a free arm. You'll be able to finish sleeves, cuffs, waistbands, and other hard-to-reach seams faster and with better results.
Superior Needle System.
The Janome 900CP uses the Schmetz ELX705 needle system. Like industrial needles, this special needle has a long groove front and back. It's more reliable than the HAX1SP needle used in most other brands.
Dazzling Decorative Effects.
Janome quality and precision means your stitches will look as beautiful on the outside as the inside.
Easiest Threading System.
Upper needle threading is color coded, easy to see, and smooth. However, it's the lower looper that will really make you smile. Simply pull the thread through, push the loooper closed, and you're ready to stitch.
Warranty: 25 year limited, covering mechanical defects. Warranty details.
