This new Brother Coverstitch machine CV3550 is one of the first domestic top cover stitch machines. Commonly used in hems, swimwear & undergarments, you can also can use it for decorative purposes. The top coverstitch is on the top, while there is a regular 3-needle coverstitch seam on the reverse side.

Besides the single and double-sided tri-cover stitch feature, this CV3550 also has wide cover stitches, narrow cover stitches as well as a chain stitch.

Also, the adjustment dials for stitch length and differential feed are located on the right-hand side.

In addition, it comes with a top cover attachment. The top looper thread is stitched using a removable attachment. This attachment moves back and forth when sewing. If you remove the attachment, the Brother CV3550 is just like a regular coverstitch machine.

The Brother 3550 also can sew a chain off stitch just like a overlocker. And we love this feature!

The Brother CV3550 coverstitch machine offers cover hem functionality for a high-quality finish. Easy handling and user-friendly. As a result, it makes hemming and top stitching fabrics and garments a breeze!
