Overlockers & Cover Stich 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.

Bobbins
A bobbin is a small spool that holds the lower thread inside a sewing or embroidery machine. In Brother sewing and embroidery machines, the bobbin works together with the top thread to form stitches. As the needle brings the top thread down, the machine catches the bobbin thread from below to lock each stitch in place.
