To ensure the overlock machine rate remains competitive, manufacturers can take several steps
At its core, a serger machine is designed to finish the edges of fabric. It combines several functions—trimming, sewing, and overlocking—into one operation. Unlike a traditional sewing machine, which typically uses a single needle and one or two threads, a serger can use multiple threads (usually 3 or 4) to create a secure seam. This capability allows it to produce stitches that not only hold layers of fabric together but also prevent fraying and unraveling.
At its core, the chain stitch machine operates on a unique mechanism that utilizes a single-thread system to create a flexible and durable stitch. Unlike conventional lockstitch machines, which utilize two threads, the chain stitch method allows for a variety of applications, from delicate fabric to heavy materials. The machine’s ability to produce a chain-like stitch makes it particularly advantageous for creating seams that require stretch and durability, such as in athletic wear and denim.
What if you need a machine that is more industrial but you don’t have the space or the budget for a true industrial machine?
