Cover Stitching Machine & Serger Sewing Machines

Cover stitch and serger sewing machines can be used to create decorative stitches and trims, such as picot or ruffles, to achieve polished finishes, professional hems or sporty seams. Serger sewing machines are great for adding detail and flair to your projects, and can be used on a variety of fabrics, from lightweight knit fabric to heavy-duty denim. Investing in one of these machines is a great way to upgrade your apparel fabric projects and create professional-looking garments.

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.
