Explanation:
I hope this will help you:

Coverseam:
Used to cover overlock seams with a layer of thread which enhances strength and durability. Appears as two parallel rows of chainstitch with a bottom and/or top cover stitch.

Coverseaming/Coverstitching:
Two needles to overlap the threads underneath, reinforcing the seams with a smooth layer of threads (looks similar to double needle stitching).
