What stitches can an overlock machine make?
With an overlocker, you can easily create a variety of stitches, such as rolled hems, flatlock stitches, narrow hem stitches, coverstitches, and even chain stitches, making every seam unique.

How do you choose your overlocker?
Before buying an overlocker, consider the following criteria:
- Your sewing experience
- The type of fabric you want to sew and its thickness
- The essential features for your work: assisted threading, free arm, number of threads (2, 3, or 4 threads)
Three categories stand out:
- An entry-level overlocker, perfect for beginners: essential functions, color-coded threading, and a quick learning curve.
- A mid-range overlocker, ideal for regular use, with more settings and stitches.
- A high-end overlocker for demanding sewists seeking a professional experience, with advanced features such as air-threading and automatic tension.
What separates an entry-level overlocker from a high-end serger comes down to its features: automatic threading, automatic tension, free arm, number of layers supported, and overall robustness. The details of each model are provided on its product page.
Our experts are available to help you choose the serger suited to your needs.
How to use and maintain a serger?
Although complex at first, the serger quickly becomes simple and easy to master. Our videos on the blog, made by a professional seamstress, quickly teach you how to thread and adjust the machine and avoid problems. We offer video tutorials to help you easily understand each machine function.
To avoid any problems, remember to maintain your serger regularly:
- Clean the collection tray for waste
- Change the needles regularly
- Check the condition of the lower looper and vacuum your machine after each use
Our repair workshop offers professional maintenance and repair services for all brands. We also repair machines that we do not sell.
