Overlockers and Sewing Machines: What’s the Difference?

 

Overlockers specialise in stitching over the edge of 2 separate pieces of fabric to prevent fraying and provide a neat finish to multilayered creations.

 

Overlockers are capable of sewing a higher number of stitches per minute than regular sewing machines. They can also use multiple lines of thread at the same time and can perform stitches that a sewing machine can’t, such as the cutting knife stitch, flatlock stitch and, of course, the overlock stitch.

 

For more information on the distinction between the two machine types, see our blog on the difference between a sewing machine and overlocker.

 

You can also find out everything you need to know about overlock machines in this article.
