OverLockers & Cover Stitch Machines

Whether you sew for fun or work or you are a beginner or more experienced tailor, overlockers are essential for producing professionally finished seams. Designed for finishing the hems and edges of a wide range of fabrics and creating decorative edges. Together with your sewing machine, an overlocker will enable you to construct quality garments and projects with a professional finish. Garment seams lie flatter and look better with an overlock stitch.  Plus, home decor projects often suggest the use of an overlocker for rolled hems and secure seams and differential feed.
