Janome CoverPro 1000CP coverlock review

I was very hesitant to invest in a stand alone coverstitch sewing machine, as I don't sew as many knits as I used to. But, I have found hemming knits, particularily with some lycra/spandex in the knit, it is very difficult to do with a regular sewing machine.
So, after I purchased the 6600, my dealer offered me a good deal on the CP1000. I absolutely love it!!
I have had no skipped stitches on any knit, lycra, or jersey. I even tried with the middle needle removed, and no tunneling even.
It is a dream to sew with on all kinds of fabrics. Knits or wovens, I don't even adjust the tensions.
I can't praise the CP1000 enough. I highly recommend this machine.

I would like some tuition/instruction book or video for this machine (apart from the thin booklet that came with it). I like the machine very much but feel there is more to it if only I knew what! Can anyone help, please?
