At its core, hook needle upholstery involves using a hook needle to pull loops of yarn or fabric through a base material, typically a canvas or burlap. This process not only secures the fibers in place but also adds depth and texture to the artwork. The versatility of this technique allows for a wide range of designs, from geometric patterns to vibrant floral motifs, making it suitable for various upholstery projects, including cushions, wall hangings, and even clothing.

One of the primary functions of a serger is to finish the raw edges of fabric. The machine uses multiple threads to create a tight stitch around the edges, which helps prevent fraying. This is especially useful when working with knit fabrics, which can easily unravel if not properly finished. By serging the edges, you can ensure your garments have a polished and professional look, saving you from the hassle of having to zigzag stitch or use bias tape on each project.
