Which machine does what?

Start with the finish you want.

The word “serger” often covers several different machine types. Knowing the job each one performs makes comparing models much easier.

01

Classic overlock

Trims raw edges while creating stretchy, secure seams and polished edge finishes.

02

Air threading

Uses a burst of air to send thread through the loopers, making color changes and setup quicker.

03

Coverstitch

Creates the professional-looking hems seen on T-shirts, activewear and other knit garments.

04

Combination

Combines overlock and coverstitch functions in one machine for maximum versatility.

What to compare

The easiest machine is the one that fits your routine.

Threading matters, but so do stitch conversion, fabric control, lighting and how comfortably you can reach the controls.

01

Threading experience

Compare manual paths, needle threaders, air-threaded loopers and how easy it is to change colors.

02

Stitches you will use

Think about garment seams, rolled hems, flatlock, decorative edges and whether you also need coverstitch.

03

Control on real fabric

Test differential feed, presser-foot pressure and tension on knits, slippery fabrics and bulky seam crossings.
