The main difference between a serger and an overlock machine lies in their functionality. A serger is a specialized sewing machine that is used to create a durable and professional finish on the edges of fabric. It trims the seam allowance and encases the raw edge with multiple threads, creating a neat and secure finish. Sergers are typically used for finishing seams, hemming garments, and creating decorative edges.
Commercial upholstery is the making or fixing furniture used in business settings, like bar seats in diners, chairs in movie theaters, office furniture, or restaurant seats. Robust materials are often used because these things get used a lot and worn down. This means a heavy-duty sewing machine is needed because it can handle thick fabrics and make strong stitches. Without such a machine, you might have to deal with broken needles, stitches that aren’t even or aren’t strong enough, and upholstered business furniture that doesn’t last as long or looks professional.
