hi everyone,
my coverstitchmachine Bernette Funlock, 009 is skipping stitches when sewing the chainstitch. I've tried on the spandex fabric the following :
- change the needle , stretch needle #70, extra sharp needle microtex #70 normal needle 80
- tension from 0.7 to N and even 1,5 (thread)
- tension of the foot from N to heavy
- tension of the under thread from L to H
there are still 8 or less nice stitches and than one long, about 4 mm stitch(3/8") what to do? I don't like the stretchstitch on my SM, it's too high in a shirt like this. That's why I decided to make the stitch on the chain-way and than a smal finish on the serger.
The other possibility IMO is to make a small normal stitch and than serger stitch with stretch modulation.
what do you think?
