OVERLOCKERS & COVERSTITCHERS

Overlocking Machine

A common misconception is that an overlocker will do everything that a sewing machine will do and more. Overlockers are professional machines which are used together with a sewing machine and not instead of a sewing machine.
Although they can be quite versatile, the basic task of an overlocker is to trim and wrap the edge of the fabric, preventing it from fraying. The overlock stitch can be seen in the construction of most factory made garments.

Cover Stitch Machine
This stitch can only be achieved using a cover hem only machine or a combined overlocker and cover hem machine. Used mainly for hemming and covering a raw edge in one operation, the stitch wraps the edge under the fabric and has double or triple lines of stitching on the right side.
