Overlock types

All overlock models are divided into the following varieties:

• Two-strand. The simplest models. Seams made on them will come out neater than on 3- or 4-thread overlockers.
• Three-thread. By means of such devices, they overcast, sew knitwear and at the same time process the edges. Modified products are capable of performing 13 types of seams.
• Four-strand. Convenient devices that create 3- and 4-thread seams for overcasting, a rolled seam, necessary for working with chiffon, organza and nylon.
• Five-line. There are those that have a cover stitch and those that do not. Each type will perform 5-thread fastening seams. A number of devices automatically cut the edges of fabrics.

Overlock selection criteria

Before buying the necessary overlock, you need to familiarize yourself with the main criteria for choosing a product:

• The number of threads to create a stitch. Conventional models are equipped with 3 or 4 spools used to create 3- and 4-thread seams. A number of models are supplied with converters for the use of 2-thread seams.
• Automatic or manual threading. Many overlocker models are equipped with colored guides for threading needles and loopers. A number of devices have manual needle threaders, and more advanced devices are able to thread the needles on their own.
• Knives. A distinctive feature of the overlock from the sewing machine will be the presence of 2 knives in order to trim the fabric. The top knife can be disabled. The design of many machines uses a bottom drive, although a number of overlockers are equipped with a top knife drive. This will allow you to process thick fabrics and control trimming.
• The number of line types. The indicator will depend on the purpose of the overlock. For beginners, the basic overlock stitch and hem stitch are sufficient. Expensive devices are capable of making decorative and specialty stitches.
• Manual or automatic thread tension. The thread tension in the overlocker is individually controlled. In conventional models, mechanical regulators are installed. Expensive overlockers are equipped with electric control with an LCD screen and offer automatic control of the thread tension, taking into account the selected seam and type of fabric.
• Adjustable stitch sizes. Emphasis is placed on the range of changes in the length and width of the seam. A number of devices independently adjust the stitch width to the selected length.
• Adjustable presser foot pressure. It will be needed when you plan to work with different types of materials.
• Switch between stitch types. Functional devices make it possible to select stitch types by switching functions on the monitor. Budget overlockers may need to replace the needle plate to select a different stitch pattern.
