Flat lock look a like Stitch

Twin needles are easy, though you may have to play with tension on your sewing machine. Did you ever see the article in Threads magazine that Carol Ahles did about various twin needle effects? There's a nice summary chart, too.

Remember, though, that coverstitching stretches, while twin needle stitching will pop.

Good idea.

I'm also firmly in the camp of "separate coverstitch machine". Much easier. Current favorite among the standalones seems to be Janome.

Perzactly!!!

But you have to have space.

Beverly, who has taken over one of the upstairs bedrooms (vacated by younger DD many years ago) for my "embroidery room". By the time I accumulated lots-o-thread, tons-o-stabilizers, the computer, loose-leaf books for design thread-change print outs, clippings of ideas, etc. there was no way to squeeze everything into the real sewing room.

I lack all the embroidery folderol, so can't speak to that, but my sergers and sewing machines live in a 30x36" space, rotating in as I need them. All I have to do is swap two machines and connect the power.
