Start with a capable everyday machine, then step up when you want more speed, threading convenience or specialist stitch control. Prices and availability are shown on each product page.
Ex-demo overlockers are clearly labelled on their product pages and can be a smart way to access a trusted model at a lower price. Availability can change quickly.
Trim and finish raw edges, create flexible seams for knits, sew rolled hems, add professional-looking inside finishes and speed up garment production. Pair your overlocker with quality serger thread, ballpoint or stretch needles and the correct presser feet for best results.
A 3-thread stitch is ideal for edge neatening and lightweight seams. A 4-thread stitch adds a second needle thread for a stronger seam join, making it the usual choice for garment construction and stretch fabrics.
Differential feed adjusts how the front and rear feed dogs move. It helps prevent wavy knit edges and unwanted puckering, and can also create controlled gathers.
Air-threading uses a burst of air to guide loopers through the machine. It is especially useful when you change thread colours frequently or want a quicker setup with less threading frustration.
An overlocker trims and wraps an edge while joining fabric. A coverstitch creates the parallel top-stitching and stretch hem finish seen on T-shirts. Combination machines can do both jobs.
It complements a sewing machine rather than replacing it. Keep a regular sewing machine for straight seams, zips, buttonholes and detailed construction, then use the overlocker for fast, durable edge finishing.
