For those who enjoy working with knit fabrics, a serger machine is particularly advantageous. Traditional sewing machines can struggle with stretch fabrics, leading to puckering or popping seams. The overlock stitch produced by a serger machine is designed to allow for some stretch. This makes it perfect for sewing activewear, fitted garments, and any project where flexibility is key. The differential feed feature present in many sergers helps to manage fabric movement, eliminating issues like stretching or bunching.
4. Cost-Effectiveness While the initial investment in an industrial overlocker may seem significant, the long-term savings in materials, time, and labor can make it a cost-effective solution. Fewer fabric defects result in lower material costs and a reduction in waste.
