Elna eXtend Covermax Coverstitch Machine Details
For professional-level finishing, you are going to want Elan's eXtend Covermax Serger. This machine can do it all! It's equipped with a built-in top cover hem guide, so you'll now have the ability to create industrial-quality top cover stitches. The Covermax offers enhanced tension controls that can be adjusted for different fabric types, a built-in needle threader, LED lights, a differential feed ratio of 0.5-2.25, a free arm, 1000 stitches per minute, and so much more. You'll get smooth, consistent stitches on Elna's Covermax Serger with its ball-bearing driven motor shaft that produces vibration-free sewing.
Whether you are using one, two, or all three needles, Elna's advanced needle thread makes it quick and easy. Select the needle for threading by simply sliding the needle threader switch lever to R/M/L (right needle, middle needle, left needle), then push down on the needle threader lever and thread needle. With its free arm, the eXtend Covermax makes it super easy to finish sleeves, cuffs, waistbands, and other hard-to-reach seams. To access the free arm, remove the auxiliary bed on the machine and you are ready to sew. Once you are through, you can snap the bed back into place.
When you are ready to take the next step in perfecting your craft, the Covermax is the natural progression of this and complements your other machines. Enjoy professional results with your hemlines, utilizing double and triple needle cover stitches, as well as chain stitching that can be functional or decorative depending upon your desired application. This three-needle, five-thread machine opens up a world of creative possibilities while still offering you all the ease and benefits you can expect from an Elna machine.
3-Position Needle Threader
Free Arm
Color-Coded Threading
Easily thread your upper needles in moments with its easy-to-see color-coded thread guide. Best of all, the lower loopers are even easier to thread! Pull the thread through, push the looper closed, and you're ready to get started. Also included is a needle threader if you have any struggles.
LED LIGHTS
In addition to two bright LED lights over the needle and bed of the machine, the Covermax has the added bonus of a retractable LED light over the sewing area. This greater visibility feature means easy-to-see sewing at its best!
ADJUSTABLE PRESSER FOOT HEIGHT & PRESSURE
The Covermax features a higher presser foot height to handle thicker and loftier fabric effortlessly. You can raise the presser foot approximately 1.5mm higher than the normal up position by exerting more pressure when lifting the presser foot. This allows for changing the needle plate and helps you to place layers of thick fabric. You can even adjust the presser foot pressure. The presser foot pressure has been preset at the factory and rarely needs adjustment. However, you may find it necessary to increase the pressure for thick fabrics or decrease pressure for thin materials to feed more smoothly under the foot.
Snap-On Presser Foot Compatible
Easily go from one presser foot to the next on Elna's eXtend Covermax Coverstitch Machine, no screwdriver required! This coverstitch machine makes it easy to swap between your included and optional presser feet.
Built-in Top Cover Stitch Guide
The built-in stitch guide/spreader swings easily into place, providing you with a triple or double Top Cover Stitch that will bring your finishes to a professional level.
Stitches
Elna's Covermax Serger is a three-needle, five-thread model. You will enjoy beautiful bindings and pristine hems, all in one pass, on the CoverPro 3000P. Stitch options include: chain stitch (1 needle/2 threads), 3 mm cover stitch (2 needles/3 threads), 6mm cover stitch (2 needles/3 threads), triple cover stitch (3 needles/4 threads), triple top cover stitch (3 needles/5 threads), 6 mm top cover stitch wide (2 needles/4 threads), 3 mm top cover stitch narrow (2 needles/4 threads).
VERTICAL NEEDLE PENETRATION
Unlike other machines that use slanted needles, the Covermax uses needles that are set vertically. Slanted needles tend to push and damage fabrics, while Elna's Covermaxonly moves up and down. This up and down movement protects your materials and helps to prevent needle deflection.
ENHANCED TENSION CONTROL
The new Fine Mode Switching Mechanism has enhanced the Tension Level Control (TLC). Switching from heavy to sheer knits and fabrics only takes the flip of a switch, changing the timing and the stroke range of the take-up lever, which softens the needle thread tension. Say goodbye to puckering on sheer fabrics! (Not available for top cover stitch.)
Thread Chain Off
Finishing the end of your top stitch cover hem is easy and fast on the CP3000P. As you sew off the end of the fabric, the machine will continue to chain stitch. Ending your hem seams is now quicker than ever!
ONE-HAND THREAD CUTTER
Quickly and efficiently cut your thread tails in one easy motion with the built-in thread cutter. Best of all, you can do it one-handed!
Adjustable Differential Feed
Even with stretchy fabrics like knits and georgette, you can easily create professional-level finishes by adjusting the differential feed. This feature allows you to fine-tune how the material is fed through your machine and helps to prevent puckering or distorting. It works by making the front and rear feed dogs move at different speeds. Set the dial to 1.0 for regular sewing, lower numbers for fine fabrics, and higher numbers on stretchy fabrics.
EASY THREAD TENSION
Thread tension should be properly adjusted to suit the various types of work. The ideal tension setting for most fabrics and threads is between 3 and 5. However, this can vary quite considerably when specialty threads are used. The thread must move easily and without resistance through the looper's eye. To lower the tension turn the dial downwards and rotate the dial upwards to increase the tension. It's recommended that you tune the dials by quarter or half number increments, then test sew and check the results.
