A serger, sometimes called an overlock machine, is a must for any sewist wanting to produce a professional-looking project. Rather than just stitching fabrics together and leaving loose edges, a serger trims off the seam allowance, encases the fabric edges and creates the seam all in one step. This has several benefits. First and foremost, it prevents the fabric from unraveling. It also increases the durability of the finished project. Serged seams are a particularly useful technique for stretchy fabrics. Added durability is achieved by using multiple threads per overlock stitch.
Sergers are ideal for producing activewear or items that require more flexibility. Plus, they’re ideal if you want to make beautiful gifts that will last a lifetime.
