fabric sampling

Testing joining both gold stretch fabrics with the 5 stitch overlocker:

Both join well without pulling or stretching of the fabrics. Overlocker doesn’t unstitch or pull, no need for fusing seams or changing machines.

Testing heming with the 5 stitch overlocker and coverstitch machine:

Overlocker works perfectly without faults with the fabric as seen previously, coverstitch machine has no problem with fabric either other than the occasional dropped stitch but is shortly picked back up – maybe stitch slower to reduce this? The double stitching gives the best hem finish but is obvious in the red thread when the stitch goes wonky, in the gold thread this will not be as obvious but to reduce this I can stitch slower for more precise lines.
