What is the difference between serger machine and sewing machine?

There are a few key differences between Serger Sewing Machine & other sewing machines. Firstly, while sewing machines typically use a lockstitch or chain stitch, sergers use an overlock stitch, which can provide a more professional finish. Secondly, sergers usually have 3 or more thread sources, compared to the single or double sewing thread sources found in most sewing machines. This allows for greater versatility in stitching and finishing techniques. Thirdly, sergers are generally faster than typical sewing machines, allowing you to complete your projects more quickly. Many sergers also have a built-in cutting mechanism, which cuts the fabric as it stitches, creating a neat, finished edge.

Mechanical sewing machines are known for their durability, since they contain fewer moving parts than electronic or computerized sewing machines and are therefore less likely to break down.

Computerized and mechanical sewing machines differ in their design and operation. Mechanical sewing machines are the traditional type of machine that uses a system of gears and levers to perform sewing functions. On the other hand, computerized sewing machines have electronic components inside them that enable greater control over the sewing machine needle and stitching speed. While mechanical machines rely on manual controls to adjust settings and perform tasks, computerized machines have programmable settings that can be customized for different fabrics and sewing techniques. Additionally, computerized machines often come with a wider range of features, such as built-in stitch patterns, automatic threading, and touch screen displays, making them more versatile and convenient than mechanical machines.
